• 30 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join my colleagues in supporting this important Motion. Let me just raise one or two points which are of concern. view
• 30 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we discuss this Motion, we are aware of the raging debate in the country. In fact, it is a raging confrontation between the county assemblies and the governors. As I speak, in Bomet County, for example, the issue of the Appropriation Bill and the budget is in court. Therefore, the monies that we are appropriating here will, probably, not reach the people of Bomet County. There are many court cases ongoing, not only in my county, but in several counties where the county assemblies and the executive are fighting over these resources. It is incumbent upon ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also thank the Senate leadership for guiding the House this far. As we break for recess, my heart goes out to the youths of this country for the challenges that they are facing. I hope that as we go for recess, we should remember to build on the good that is helpful to the youth. In the last two or three weeks, there was a determined fight against alcohol. We can convincingly say that there has been relative peace and a complete reduction of crime in this country as a result of the positive efforts to ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the foregoing of the petition, I noticed the implication of the significance of information technology. With your indulgence, I thought that the Committee on ICT is involved as well. view
• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order 45 (2) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Health regarding the selection and placement of students to medical training institutions in the country. In the Statement the Chairperson should:- (1) Explain whether the Government is aware that the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Services (KUCCPS) selected and placed students in the various medical training centres in the country. (2) Further explain whether the Government is aware that the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) also selected applicants and has since issued admission letters to the students selected by the ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the statement, the Chairperson should explain the following: (1) Whether the Government can give an assurance of the availability of subsidized fertilizers to tea farmers. (2) State the cost of a 50 kilogramme bag of fertilizer in each of the tea growing zones. (3) Indicate the level of Government subsidy per 50 kilogramme bag of fertilizer. (4) Explain the role of Chai Trading Company Limited in the importation, transportation and distribution of the said fertilizer, including the levies charged. (5) Whether the Government is considering waiving the cost of handling storage and other charges levied on ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason I am raising this question is the confusion caused by the fact that the placement of students to various colleges in this country is under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. However, the admission of students to KMTC is under the Ministry of Health. The Acts that permit them to work are contradictory. That is why I sought some clarification. view
• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sought two statements. One from the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries--- view
• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to, first of all, sympathise with the children who have undergone this traumatic experience as a result of the injections that they had. These cases have only been reported in Busia County, but I believe there are other cases all over the country. This is a procedural mistake that has been made. (1) Could I ask whether there are any other cases of such errors that were committed in other counties? (2) When we went to counties, many county administrators considered everybody who wore a white court a doctor. These are some of the ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to make a brief contribution. Let me focus on Kenyans. I take this opportunity to appreciate their behaviour during the visit of President Obama. Kenyans gave way without complaining to allow the visitor complete freedom in this country. We cleared from the streets all the venues and behaved in the best manner possible to allow the visitor to have a good stay and participate in whatever he wanted to do. The behaviour of Kenyans in those three days was exemplary and I appreciate that it contributed to the success of hosting ... view
