• 6 Oct 2015 in Senate: Perhaps, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can rephrase that to be “the former Senator for Bomet”. I know none of us will escape this kind of thing, except for a few who will die with their teeth. I know quite a number who will be toothless and will require some soup to survive. I want to conclude by asking my colleagues to consider this Bill. As far as I am concerned, it is important. I know that there are thousands of elderly people who need the help of the State to live their last days with some dignity. If we ... view

• 6 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this amendment Bill. I would like to thank my colleague, Sen. (Dr.) Machage for coming up with this amendment which I think will have far reaching implications when it is passed and implemented. I would like to correct Sen. (Dr.) Machage who said that Prof. Obel, who was my teacher as well, came up with KEMRON. That KEMRON was a product of Prof. David Koech who was the Director of the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) at that time. Secondly, I would like to thank the ... view

I know that it is Prof. Obel who came up with Pearl Omega and some other concoction which made a significant contribution to not only Kenyans, but the whole world. I know that there are also some Europeans who came to Kenya to seek his medication. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, all in all, I thank the first scientists because I know the environment in which they attempted to produce the medication was difficult. HIV/AIDS is a very difficult case to handle. It is important that we have special Bills ... view

• 6 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that I thought that the children who were found misbehaving were from Kakamega, but I came to realise that Eldoret is in Uasin Gishu County. However, that was not my intention at all. view
• 6 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that it is a serious issue. Therefore, I withdraw the statement. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you allow me to continue, this is a very important Bill. It seeks to bring in counties which, I think, is where most of the targeted individuals or patients we are talking about come from. Recently, we had instances of misuse of Anti-retrovirals (ARVs). ARV drugs have been very useful in the management of HIV. However, problems are cropping up as a result of the drugs. One of them is, of course, noncompliance by individuals supplied with the ... view
• 1 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the onset, I wish to thank the Chair of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries for the answer he has given. While I thank him, I want to say that I am really disappointed, more so on the fact that last year, as per the request by the farmers, there was a subsidy on the cost of fertilizer for tea irrespective of the economy of the country which had not changed much and the farmers had a subsidy of Kshs321.
