• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: If the money only ends at the county level without being devolved to the community level, then we will not be achieving what Kenyans have been looking for. Kenyans have realized a lot of good things through CDF because it has built for them schools, it has given them bursaries, it has built hospitals for them and so on. That is why Kenyans supported devolution. If, therefore, devolution does not meet people’s view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank hon. Wesley Korir for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I support this Motion. We need to track down our athletes who carry the Kenyan flag internationally. We should account for their safety wherever they are because they are important people. They are our citizens and it is our responsibility, as a country, to take care of them wherever they are away from our country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Endebess Constituency, which I represent, also has many athletes. But we face challenges in terms of poverty. Most ... view

• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion by the Hon. David Ouma Ochieng. Health care in this country is a critical issue that should be put among the top priorities. When this nation got its Independence in 1963, the founding fathers of this country talked about three issues; health, ignorance and poverty. Fifty years down the road, health is not still a priority in this nation. As we saw in the Budget allocations, it was given 7 per cent, which is way below the WHO and the Abuja recommendations of 15 per cent. We are ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Japan, the blood transfusion is a function of the Red Cross. We have self-donors who walk into the blood donation centres and donate their blood. Blood has several products. We are talking of blood products which are required for transfusion and other blood products which can be used even as medicine for other cases. Our country needs to move towards that direction. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you talk about our rural facilities, for instance, in Endebess Constituency, we have a sub-district hospital, one health centre and three dispensaries which were built through the CDF, but are dysfunctional. If you go to a health centre or dispensary, you find only one staff. Recently, a recruitment exercise was carried out under the ESP programme when Members were busy campaigning. This was hurriedly done and I think it was not properly done because the Members were not involved. I urge the Members that when they go back to their constituencies, they should see ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hospital, the Kenyatta National Hospital and the Kenya Medical Research Institute and their employees. If this is not sorted out soon, we are going to see our nurses and doctors back to the streets. That will not be good for us. It will be a let down to this House. I beg to support the Motion. view

• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this debate. I stand here to oppose the Motion because, for me, the role of the Nyayo Tea Zones is a national function, which is part of soil conservation efforts. If we have to privatise it--- view
