• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am informed that nowadays Hon. Wanga and the group represent a new centre of power. I am sure that is the reason the Member forgot that there are procedures. view
• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker, I know you are a former Chair of this important Committee and I am also a former Chair. What is interesting is that the same historical issues are coming up — and I am glad that first of all we looked at the Standing Orders in the last Parliament and helped this Committee to avoid mid-term reconstitution. They should be very grateful to us because those are some of the reforms that we introduced. Having said that, this Committee has a very important mandate. One of its important mandates is to examine, in the ... view

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: letter and the spirit of the current Constitution to ensure that those parastatals do business differently. They have become a public money guzzler. Every year, we appropriate funds to those institutions. Instead of making returns to the Exchequer, they only bring back deficits. It is high time that we limit those organisations in line with the Mwongozo Regulations. That policy was very important, good and progressive but as usual, we fear implementing progressive laws. Where are the Mwongozo Regulations? Why are they not being implemented? It took very broad-minded committees to come up with them. They have been shelved. It ... view

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the other bit is the delay of implementation ( inaudible) . We need to complain. The other one is the issue of unqualified accounts. I know there are some corporations that have done very well. In general, the essence of why the framers of the current Constitution or our forefathers came up with this special group called State corporations is to add value to the public. Therefore, it is my appeal to the Members of the Committee to ensure that the existence of these State corporations adds value to the well-being of Kenyans. view

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I want to take this opportunity to thank Hon. Wanga. Having served with her as a Commissioner, I know the challenges she has gone through. As a survivor, I want to thank her for thinking outside the box and bringing this Bill. That is because cancer today is the number one killer even before the Covid-19 crisis came into being. In counties like Wajir where I come from, there are too many deaths that are attributed to cancer even without proper diagnosis. The object and reason of this Bill is to update the existent of the Cancer Prevention and Control ... view
