• 31 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As per Standing Order No.80, we have the option of establishing a Special Committee or investigating the matter in Plenary. I was the Chairperson for the Special Committee on Impeachment of the Deputy Governor for Siaya County. During the process, we gave the accusers and the Deputy Governor enough time. We sat as a committee through the night looking at all reports. I believe constituting a committee is the best way. Senators have an issue with the six Members from Kenya Kwanza Coalition who sat in December last year investigating the impeachment Motion for Hon. ... view
• 18 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to comment on this particular Petition. The families were generous to give 38 acres to KARI for research in that part of the country, but they took advantage and used about 300 acres, which they do not need. They have pushed the families to live on riparian land, which is very dangerous due to these issues of climate change. It is important, since the lease has expired, to give back the land to the community and families, so that they can make use of the riparian land. They can grow trees to help ... view
• 11 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Digital Health Bill. Kenya is way ahead in terms of technology. It is only that the medical field looks like it is still behind in embracing technology. However, when it comes to research, they are ahead. I am happy that this particular Bill has come to the House especially, when we are going to have a National Health Information System that will be used by our doctors across the country to share information to save lives. Madam Temporary Speaker, in the morning and even this afternoon, some Members have said ... view
• 11 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. My supplementary question is to the Cabinet Secretary regarding Kamariny Stadium and Kipchoge Keino Stadium. In his response earlier, he said that there is a special audit that is ongoing. I want to know how long this special audit will take. Secondly, when the audit is completed, is he promising this House that in the next financial year, he will allocate resources, so that all the stalled stadia will be restarted? We have waited for these particular stadia for long. It is close to 10 years. It has been on and off. It looks ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am in the right place; I do not know why my colleagues are surprised. I rise to support this Bill. If you give birth to a child with minor disability, you do not kill it. You take the child to the doctor, who will assist the child live a normal life. The Bill has one or two issues that need to be amended, this is why the next stage of the Bill is the Committee of the Whole where Members will come up with amendments and ensure the Bill is improved and usable ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: About three weeks ago, I was in Iten County Referral Hospital. Out of seven health workers on duty, five of them are volunteers who are not paid by the county government. Basically, as soon as we pass this Bill and it becomes law and they retain their own source revenue, the committee can set aside a percentage of the resources from the facility and give a stipend as transport allowance. We want to see health workers who are volunteering be motivated to work. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the past and even now, all the resources that are collected are taken ... view
• 21 Sep 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise to support the report by the Finance Committee to approve Mr. Andrew Mukite Musangi as the Chairperson of the CBK Board of Directors. I have gone through the report and seen his Curriculum Vitae (CV). It is very good. From the CV, he went to Alliance High School in 1984 when I was in Form Three. He cleared Form Six in 1989. This is good. We expect him to help us and change things at the CBK. Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the last few years, I think the policies that the ... view
• 21 Sep 2023 in Senate: I believe, even as a lawyer, while working for CRA, he should have gained a lot of knowledge in terms of the economy and that will be useful for him. The current Governor of the Central Bank is an economist. The deputy governor is a banker and Mr. Andrew Mukite Musangi is a lawyer. So, I believe this is a very good team that should be able to steer CBK and even tell us what happened. Why did De La Rue also relocate from our country? We lost a lot of employment opportunities for our youths when that particular plant ... view
• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Petition by the Senator from Taita Taveta. It is unfortunate that some teachers in that county get hardship allowance and others do not. It is basically discrimination. The Senator has enumerated so many things stating that place is a hardship area. It is semi-arid, there are many wild animals, the roads are bad and they do not have water. The county supplies water to the counties in the coastal region, but they do not have water for their use. These teachers are suffering and they deserve to be given ... view
• 29 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the Senate, I take this opportunity to welcome St. Brigid Academy from Keiyo South, Elgeyo-Marakwet County to the Senate. This is one of our schools that does very well. Last year, their Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) Mean Grade was 392. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate. view
