Sen. Nabwala Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Health regarding the malpractices in the health sector. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:-

Sen. Nabwala Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Nabwala Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a second Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Health regarding the resolution of the February 25, 2015 SENATE DEBATES Sen. NabwalaSenate of “25th September, 2015” relating to the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board.

Sen. Nabwala Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a typing error. I think it is 2013. In the Statement, the Chairperson should explain, why the resolution of the Senate to devolve the KMPDB to the counties has not been implemented by the Ministry of Health and what the Ministry is...

Sen. Nabwala Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Nabwala Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Life is so fickle and death is such a thief. Death steals from battle grounds, poor families and from a House of Parliament like this one and takes away gallant leaders and contributors of debate with content and quality like our departed...

Sen. Nabwala Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had requested a statement from the Standing Committee on Lands and Natural Resources.

Sen. Nabwala Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will seek a clarification on the allocation of land in Chepchoina. I am aware that Phase I and Phase II are completed. However, we have a delegation that has gone to court. This delegation first went to see Sen. Zipporah Kittony. We brought...

Do not make comments. Seek a clarification from the Chairperson if you have any and let it be short. ALLOCATION OF LAND IN CHEPCHOINA SETTLEMENT SCHEME IN TRANS NZOIA COUNTY Sen. Nabwala Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will seek a clarification on the allocation of land in Chepchoina. I am...

Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., were you seeking a clarification on Masongaleni?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I want to thank the Chairperson and the Committee for inviting me when they were deliberating on this issue. My only clarification on page nine of the resolution is that the Committee has made very general observations whilst the National Land Commission (NLC) and the Minister...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has persistently addressed some cadre as Minister. Is he in order to use wrong titles?

Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., could you clarify that?

The correct term is Cabinet Secretary. I apologise to the Senate for misrepresenting the Constitution. The Cabinet Secretary in charge of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Hon. Charity Ngilu, was kind enough and magnanimous I must say, in saying that the November 5, 2014 SENATE DEBATES

people of Masongaleni. The Government has spent taxpayers’ money in buying this land. Therefore, it was a contradiction to resettle them and to ask them to pay for the title deeds. This was given as a commitment which is not part of the resolutions.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am a Member of this Committee and I had sought a clarification which was not forthcoming from the Ministry concerned.

Sen. Ndiema, you are a Member of the Committee and so you are the one who should be giving clarifications. You have a joint responsibility as Members of the Committee.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the time given was so short for the answer I sought to be given. We discussed this in our Committee and we thought it wise to first handle the other issues.

I will find it very difficult to allow you to seek clarification from the Chairperson of your own Committee because that will send very wrong signals. This means that either you have not read that report or it is not unanimous. I find it very difficult to allow you to...

Are you giving information--- No, it is a point of order. Is he in order?

Is he out of order? Proceed, Sen. Okong’o. Madam Temporary Speaker, all these functions were unbundled in the Constitution, but it was not mandatory for us to unbundle them to the counties if they were not ready to take that position. So I do not think I am out of...

You are not out of order. You are giving your opinion on this Bill and I think you are within the confines of the provisions. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. As I was saying, some of these problems we are facing especially when I am talking about a county hospital...
