• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it should be New Clause 92A and not New Clause 91. New Clause 92A is the one talking about penalties. New Clause 91A is dissemination of market information. So, I do not know if it was wrongly put there. view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, I agree with Hon. Bader from Msambweni. I join him in supporting this Petition as well. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: As my colleague from Tharaka has said, we have an issue. Our boundaries were done in the 1960s and 1970s by the Njuri-Ncheke . We have had meetings. I am surprised that even after asking Questions four times regarding the boundaries, up to date, the Government has not seen the need to give us those boundaries. We have had meetings at the Office of the President. We have waited. We were called for a meeting in Embu together with the Regional Commissioner and the governors of Meru and Tharaka counties. Mheshimiwa Murugara knows about it, but still the Government does ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have been here for one hour. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: I have keyed in here for one and a half hours. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I apologise. However, it was not my fault. I wanted to contribute to the National Construction Authority (Amendment) Bill as well. I waited until Hon. Mabongah asked for the closure of debate. The second time I wondered when I would contribute. Members came after me and contributed. I thank you for giving me this space. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: I support this Bill by Hon. Mabongah which is very timely. I paid for one lady who had been detained in the hospital yesterday. We need to amend this Bill. We should not only criminalise detention of the dead, but also those who have hospital bills. They are detained in hospital against their will because they cannot pay off the Bills. There are people who cannot afford to go to private hospitals, but they have to go there. They cannot even pay a bill of Ksh20,000. They are detained there for long. When that happens, Ksh20,000 goes up to Ksh40,000. ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: There is a body which was lying at Kenyatta National Hospital. The villagers were unable to bury the person for one month. They came to me. We worked it out. We took the body home to bury it. That gives a lot of anguish to the people who are bereaved. Instead of mourning they are now running around looking for ways to sell their cows, goats, their parcels of land or get money from a shylock which will come to hinder them in future. So, it is very important. Like you have mentioned, there should be a court ruling that ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: In the last Parliament, I had brought a Motion to pass ICU units together with blood donor units in each and every constituency. However, to date, the Government has not done anything about it. I hope, with this Bill, if signed to law, we will have those regional centres. As regards the cancer regional centres, we should not just have regional centres; we should have it down to the constituency level. Even if we get those regional centres, let us have oncologists on call, let us have the proper machinery like the one at the Kenyatta University Hospital, in each ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: further. Cancer treatment is very expensive. The Government needs to come up not just to establish those cancer centres, we need to subsidise the cost. Most of the poor people cannot pay the costs charged for cancer treatment. If we do not do that, we will not be doing much. We also need to equip each and every regional centre or county centre. Otherwise, it will be very far, if it is a regional centre, where to put it when we have already devolved into counties because that is what is there. If for instance we have eastern regional centre ... view
