• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Community health workers are accessible, available and affordable. Whenever you go to rural health centres, the first person you get providing service is a community health worker. They are always available. In some of the remote areas, like where I come from, when doctors or nurses are posted there, they rarely work there. They appear and disappear. Therefore, the bulk of the health service is provided by community health workers. A lot of professionals commercialise health services. Immediately they are posted there, they open small clinics next to the health services and spend most of the time at their clinics, ... view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: health centres, they refer you to the clinic where they make money even when there is medicine at the health centre. Community health workers are very important. view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: I suggest a small change to the name because there are other community health workers in the field, namely, community animal health workers. We have community animal health workers who provide similar services to animals in the veterinary department and the livestock department. They do very good work, but when you call them community health workers, are they for the health of the human beings or the health of animals? Therefore, I suggest they be called community human health workers. view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you so much. view
• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Bill. It is very timely. I come from a community where groups are very vital. People do businesses in groups which are not registered, but it is just a sort of a mutual agreement between the various members of the group. Over the years, it has been realised that they do a very good job. A lot of the big businesses which members of my community do here in this country are not individual businesses. They are businesses where many people come together and ... view
• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Sorry, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thought I was decently dressed. My very expensive Kaunda suit is very acceptable. view
• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you so much for the reminder. I will observe that next time and put on a tie. As I proceed, groups are very vital. Nobody in this world can work alone. It has been seen all over the world that working together as a group is so essential. Having a legal framework that can guide during difficult times or during misunderstanding to help in managing the group assets and resources effectively is very important. Therefore, I support the Bill. Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I stand to oppose this Bill. Asking for clearance certificates from people who have never been employed before and have just got a job will further increase corruption channels. How do you expect somebody who has left university, has been tarmacking for many years and has never been employed to get all those papers when an opportunity arises? Those papers cost money and that creates avenues for corruption. As we know, corruption in employment cycles has increased. Bringing in other stringent measures such as asking for clearance certificates will open ... view
• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I stand to also support the deletion of that Clause because from experience, boards have invested money outside their core businesses. Ultimately, some of those investments became personal investments for some of the board members who have stayed there for years. Therefore, from that experience and farmers having lost a lot of money before, we should not allow that to continue anymore. I support that we delete that Clause. view
• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you for this opportunity. I also echo what my colleagues are saying that increasing fuel prices haphazardly means increasing the whole life and livelihood of Kenyans. Fuel is everything. It is the driver of all the economy. Today morning as I was driving along Mombasa Road, it was very unusual indeed in that there was no traffic. This is because most of the Kenyans today morning could not afford to drive themselves to work which means they take a walk and take a long time to reach their work places. They spend a lot of time on ... view
