  • 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I also wish to take this opportunity to thank the voters in Kaloleni Constituency for having given me an opportunity to serve them in this august House. When we came to this Chamber, we were new and there were so many challenges. By then, we did not have our cards. It was quite difficult for you to identify some of us to give us an opportunity to make our contributions. Hon. Speaker, I must thank you sincerely because I am one of the Members who were able to make their maiden speeches at ... view
  • 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: place in this Chamber so that it could be easy for us to catch your eye. I cannot conclude without thanking the Member for Matuga, Hon. Hassan Mwanyoha. He also has also been very useful to me, more so through his wise counsel. All the time, we could consult on various issues. On so many occasions, I travelled with him to Kaloleni. We have also met so many times. I am greatly indebted to him because he is the one who proposed to the entire membership of the Coast Parliamentary Group that I should serve as their Chairman. I wish ... view
  • 24 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I thank Hon. Leonard Sang for coming up with this Bill and brought it to the Floor of the House. Secondly, I rise to support the Occupational Therapists (Training, Registration and Licensing) Bill, 2016. Many Bills relating to medicine have been brought before this House. Hon. Sang is one of the Members who have thought widely so that professions can be regulated. There is no professional calling that can thrive without proper regulation. In this particular arena, there are those who have received training and those ... view

  • 24 May 2017 in National Assembly: I find the provisions of Clause 2 so attractive in so far as the definition of “occupational therapist” is concerned. An occupational therapist has been defined to mean a person who, having successfully undergone a prescribed course of training in a training institution, is a holder of a certificate issued by that institution and is registered under this Act. Training is crucial. There are those who have gone to particular institutions and received training. There are those who practise in the villages or cities, but have not received that training. With this particular Bill, sanity has been brought and all ... view

  • 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Agoi had requested me to second this very important amendment Bill. However, before I proceed to second it, it is important for public knowledge to make it quite clear that I am no longer a Member of KADU-ASILI. I am now a Member of the Devolution Party of Kenya, which I lead. This is very important so that it does not bring confusion to my membership. As I second the Bill, I must point out that today, as we sit in this Chamber, there are very many students who do not have their ... view
  • 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We are also saying that other than students who have not received their results, we also have schools and other learning institutions which have lost their reputations as a result of having been associated with examination irregularities. Therefore, the amendment Bill comes at a very important time in the history of this country. We are all aware that in this country examinations are regarded with high esteem. This is a country where people are very much interested in the grade you scored when you went to school. If that is the seriousness with which ... view
  • 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: suspect must be accorded an opportunity to be heard. He has to be notified of the allegations and given an opportunity to present evidence in defence. Before any nullification of examination results is effected, the due process has to be followed. That is very important. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the introduction of an examinations appeals tribunal is a very important aspect of the amendment Bill. It is very sad when the doors are locked. You may feel aggrieved by a certain decision, but you find that there is nowhere you can go. The situation being created by the amendment Bill ... view
  • 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I rise to support the Clinical Officers (Training, Registration and Licensing) Bill, 2016. I equally take this early opportunity to thank and congratulate Hon. Sang with whom we sit in the Departmental Committee on Health for having thought about this Bill which he has brought to this august House for debate. As we are all aware, we passed the Constitution on 27th August, 2010. We have always referred to it as the new constitutional dispensation. This is the Constitution in which the question of health has seriously been dealt with. In ... view
