Henry Kiptiwa Ndiema

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support this Petition because it is really disheartening to know that people who are ailing from this disease are not receiving the attention that they need, which is especially found in the national referral hospital. It is not only for cancer cases but even...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join my colleagues in applauding those residents of Mandera for bringing up the issues of accountability which are affecting their county. It is a demonstration that the public have confidence in the Senate. I encourage all counties including mine, that if there is any issue,...

Order, Senator! That is exactly what he has said finally. He said the Committee will be visiting the county in September. I suppose that is after getting the necessary information from the Ministry. You may now proceed with other Statements. (Loud consultations)

Order, hon. Senators! Vice Chairperson, the Member only wanted to know. If you are not ready, you will come back to the House later. We cannot prosecute Committee business on the Floor. Order, let us hear from the Vice Chairperson first. Proceed, Sen. Ndiema. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was just...

Order, Vice Chairperson! Give us the conclusion first then we will know whether to go for the background or not. Are you ready to respond to her or not? Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes; I am ready. They will go there in September.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether I should respond to my brother. He has all the information. We were dissatisfied with the presentation after interrogating the Ministry officials. The Committee agreed to give the Ministry up to September to finish what they are doing so that we can...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I was entitled to a copy of that statement before it came to the House. Sen. Dullo said that it was shared, but she actually came, showed me and went away, for which I thank her. A number of aspects of that statement are fairly...

Vice-Chairperson, just note the issues.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to get embarrassed on behalf of Sen. Dullo for coming to read such a statement to this House.

Please, proceed, Sen. M. Kajwang.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. That statement has revealed something that many Kenyans were not aware of; that the President was scheduled to go to Hollywood around the same time when people were dying in Kenya. That is extremely unfortunate. For some reasons, I feel happy that the President did...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Constitution says that governments are distinct. Therefore, a petition that comes from governors – I assume –

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to applaud the Petitioners for being bold enough to bring these issues which if found to be true, are serious. It is also a demonstration that the public and county assembly members are now realizing the role of the Senate; that they can petition...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table:- Report by the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Lands and Natural Resources on the Petition on the plight of farmers at Mwea Settlement Scheme. PAPERS LAID REPORTS ON THE COUNTY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION BILL, 2014/UNIVERSITIES (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2014

In view of the additional homework, I do not know whether one week will be enough. For the first part, I undertake to do within one week but the rest can be done in one week.

But if I can manage the two at the same time, the better.

I request for two weeks.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to be enjoined. In Trans Nzoia there are many complaints about discrimination. I request that in replying, the same information that will be given to the Senator for Kitui is also given for all counties. Unless it is done, this matter will keep on...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute. I thank the Senator for Wajir County for bringing up this issue, which is a big shame to an institution that purports to be professional in doing proper assessments in a scientific manner. As I look at the report...
