• 16 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to congratulate Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo for bringing the issue of the former councilors. I was a councillor for two terms. Regarding the issue of Machakos County, I am glad it was you because most of us have been humiliated in many occasions. I have been a victim. The governors do not recognize us.

It is good that it is you now so that the statement that we have demanded be written and be written properly because they ... view

• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to give a statement of the Committee on Health regarding the outbreak of malaria in western Kenya. At last, we have the response from the Ministry of Health. I am sure this will make the House happy. The four counties in western Kenya are classified as malaria endemic zones, meaning that transmission of malaria occurs throughout the year. The malaria situation being experienced in the region is not an outbreak, but an upsurge of cases associated with environmental factors, including the long rains which have just ended. Below is the Ministry’s position on the specific ... view

• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to also join you in recognizing and saluting my old friend and age mate. He is a good example for the young people to see him still very energetic.

• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, investigations have been established for the 21 children who were affected. Investigations show that they had been given an injection elsewhere and remedies have been taken according to the report that we have received.
