Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika. Sijui mwenzangu aliona ni heri yeye apatiwe nafasi ya kuchangia Hoja hii badala yangu, lakini basi haidhuru, nitaendelea. Mheshimiwa Abdirahman amependekeza na kusema mambo yaliyotokea leo asubuhi. Kilichoanzisha haya ni ripoti ambayo ilichapishwa na gazeti la Daily Nation kuhusu utendaji kazi wa Maseneta. Walitoa orodha ya majina ya Maseneta wanaofikiria kwamba wanawahudumia wananchi. Ripoti hiyo ina majina ya Seneta wa kwanza hadi The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

Bw. Naibu Spika, sio kwa kupenda kwangu lakini kwa sababu ya mfululizo wa mawazo yangu labda nikamdhuru hivyo yeyote yule anahusika. Nililosema ni kwamba tunahitaji kuwa na amani mashinani. Nilisema pia kwamba sisi viongozi tunastahili kuwa mrengo wa mbele kuhakikisha kwamba amani imedhihirika nyumbani. Tunataka waandishi wa magazeti waajibike. Wanafaa kuajibika na kuwapa Maseneta uwezo wa kutekeleza majukumu yao mashinani. Vile sheria ilivyo sasa, usipotumia mali yako, kwa mfano, kutembelea Kaunti ya Migori iliyo na Maeneo Bunge tisa, basi huwezi kufanya kazi. Mimi napata mshahara ambao unalingana na wa Mbunge ambaye anawakilisha Eneo Bunge moja. Bi. Sarah Serem anafaa kuyaangalia ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Our own Standing Orders give latitude for this. Standing Order No.226 and 227 give us the permission to make comments for not more than 30 minutes.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. That request could not have come at an opportune time better than now and especially taking in view the fact that the so called “Pride of Africa” is now becoming a plight---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I remember – as the Minister for East African Community (EAC) – when we had a problem in this country in 2007, I was made to rush to the headquarters of the EAC’s Council of Ministers to give an immediate statement on the Kenyan situation at that time. Is it not proper for the concerned Chairman to reassure this House that the Government is actually concerned and taking action instead of us waiting for papers on whichever day they will be ready without the reassurance?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, from that brief Statement it is evident that the Government had done nothing, apart from listing three members of the foreign mission staff. We would want to know how many Kenyans are in Burundi and in what categories.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that currently there are approximately 44 million persons living with dementia worldwide, a figure that is expected to triple by 2050; acknowledging that caring for dementia patients can be a difficult experience; appreciating the contribution of family members and other care givers of people suffering from dementia across Kenya; noting with concern that mental healthcare does not seem to be a priority in the public health sector in Kenya since the allocation for mental healthcare is less than one per cent The electronic version of the Senate ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I reply to this Motion, I take this opportunity to thank the contributors. The Statements they have made will remain in our HANSARD and can be quoted. Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki says that dementia is a reality and that must be appreciated. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. says that we must take care of our aged and the patients whose mental capacities and faculties are in doubt. The integration of health mental policy in our primary health care issues has been an objective in this country for about two decades, but there has been insufficient allocation of ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, matters of land and boundaries are issues that are so central to the people of Kenya. They are so intimate that the mention of land in some societies is like scratching a wound. Sometime back, I brought to the attention of the country when we were drafting the Constitution on the issues contained in the Sessional Paper of 2008 which addressed the matters of boundaries and land as from 1895 when Kenya was still a Protectorate of the British rule. What followed thereafter was my being arrested and handed to the courts where I was accused of ...
