Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, legal services. I want to clarify that it is legal services.

23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to correct that bit. I only seek legal services and join prominent lawyers like Ahmednassir Abdulahi. There are lawyers who carry the bags of the senior counsels and, at the same time, to be mentioned by the first occupant of the Leader of the Majority Party in Kenya is a plus. It is a plus for your CV. So, hon. (Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona should even be very happy. There are many hon. Members I could have mentioned, but you are very special.

23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
If I go back to the gist of the matter, this Mediation Report talks about Level 5 hospitals. I have nothing against the governors but I am one person in whose constituency a Level 5 hospital is situated. That is Garissa General Hospital. From the Floor of the House, I want to challenge the Membership of this House who belong to the Departmental Committee on Health, both in this House and in the Senate, to go and visit those Level 5 hospitals across the country, since the new Constitution or since county governments were formed. They are all collapsing. Let ...

23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me proceed as my Deputy is lobbying. I only mentioned hon. (Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona and not other colleagues. So, let us do our oversight and I am happy that the House now is cheerful. I expect the person who will speak after me to pick from where I have left. You do not need to mention hon. (Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona; mention another person. So, the Level 5 hospitals--- Hon. (Prof.) Nyikal is a former renowned public sector expert in the health sector; he is a medical doctor. Let us make sure that the Level 5 hospitals work. ...

23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to speak on this very important Report. I want to, on the outset, state clearly that I support the Report as proposed by the Mediation Committee. That is because a decline by this House to approve this Report will devastate the Level 5 health facilities in the country. I am encouraged that a number of my colleagues on the other side of the House are in support. Unfortunately, the Leader of the Majority Party, who is my good friend, is not here. Hon. Jimmy Angwenyi has acknowledge ...

them that, indeed, giving them Kshs5 billion once will not help. Through the referendum that we want to bring, we want to say that Turkana County should continuously get Kshs5 billion. As the Leader of the Majority Party rightly said, there are many minor confusing clauses in the current Constitution. So, when CORD says that there is need for a referendum to correct those issues, the initiative should be supported. The logic of it should be seen. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Level 5 hospitals are very important facilities in the counties where they exist. But I must say that ...

23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this kind of mediation should in future happen before we pass the national Appropriation Bill. We are now in a situation which hon. Angwenyi describes as a “conditional illegality”. I do not know whether I want to use that word. We are approving this money because it is in the interest of Kenyans. We want funds to become available to our Level 5 hospitals. Therefore, we must make this money available. However, the timing of this process has it is, is putting the Cabinet Secretary of the National Treasury into a very difficult position in terms ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand guided by your advice. The other issues that I wanted to speak to - and I am sure my colleagues will speak to them - and in the interest of time, I thank you and end.
