• 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the level of marginalization and discrimination on certain parts of this country. Now, Migori County is put on the forefront and that it cannot be visited because other areas must be visited first. It is unfair. Could the Chair say when she will visit the site before the recess is over because the meteorological department has forecasted El Nino and if I cannot pass through that road with a four-wheel drive vehicle, what will happen? I cannot afford a chopper neither can my people from the county to take them home. The electronic version ... view
• 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Chairperson and the Vice Chairperson who are not in the House, I am a Member of the Committee and I wish to respond as follows:- I appreciate that this is a very important statement that has been sought by the Member, who is also a Member of the Committee on Health. I believe it is for the purpose of immediate information to the public that he has raised his concern. The House is going on recess; the statement may not be answered immediately in the House. The first sitting of the House after ... view
• 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe with your instructions today the committee will be calling for an urgent meeting with the Cabinet Secretary for Health, as urgent as tomorrow if possible or the day after. After the meeting the information can be disseminated to the Press because the House will not be meeting. Secondly, the African World Health Organisation (AWHO) meeting was to take place in Benin. Two of us from this House, myself and Sen. Kisasa were supposed to attend, but we have declined to go for obvious reasons. view
• 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: Asante, Bw. Spika, kwa usia ambao umeutoa leo. Ilani imeshatolewa kwa muundo msingi ambao umewekwa wakfu hasa kwa kutekeleza na kuunda kamati ya halmashauri ya maeneo ya ugatuzi katika kaunti. Tunajua kwamba wiki hii, magavana walikutana na kuafikiana kwamba hawataheshimu wala kuhudhuria vikao vya kamati hii. Ningetaka wajue kwamba kuna sheria. Korti haijaamua kwamba sheria haitafanya kazi. Ni jukumu lao kuheshimu sheria. Jana, niliongea na Gavana wa Migori na hatukuafikiana. Alianza kuteta nami nikamwambia sheria ni lazima itekelezwe. Wakati wa mtu mmoja kuamua maendeleo na utekelezaji umepita. Tungetaka kuona Migori ikionekana Kenya nzima kwamba ina mipango kamili inayotekelezwa kwa utaratibu. ... view
• 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: Bw. Spika, wahenga walisema: “Hayawi hayawi huwa.” Methali hii si hadithi za Alfu Lela Ulela, Hekaya za Abunuasi au ngano za paukwa pakawa. Hoja hii imetokana na utundu na utenda kazi duni wa magavana wetu ambao hawafuati sheria kama ilivyoandikwa katika Katibu yetu. Ni aibu kubwa kwamba leo, katika Seneti hii, tunazungumza juu ya Gavana Isaac Ruto, Jack Ranguma, William Kabogo na Mwangi wa Iria kwa kutokuwa na nidhamu ya kuheshimu sheria na mujibu uliowekwa katika Katiba yetu. Tabia yao mbaya yakutothamini sheria imeweka hatarini maeneo yao ya utawala na hawatapewa hela kipande cha pili. Juzi, walienda kortini na kupewa ... view

• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir. It is a sad situation that we have to reduce the budget for running Level 5 hospitals, especially taking cognizance of certain facts. One, prices of all commodities are increasing, including medicine, at an astronomical sort of situation; a total inverse proportion to availability of resources. Two, Kenya has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world, at around 480 mothers dying for every 100,000. There is also a very high infant mortality rate. In some places, we have even up to 135 per 1,000. There is also very high neonatal death rate ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I need guidance from the Chair with regard to us discussing an issue that is supposed to be on the Second Reading in the Committee of the Whole. How will the voting on this item be put? view
