6. Make any other order or direction that it deems fit in the circumstances of this matter. And your Petitioners will ever pray. Over this weekend, I visited my constituency where there are two schools - a primary and a secondary school - for people with this kind of condition. I listened to them. On Tuesday last week, over 200 deaf people presented that Petition before Parliament and they handed it over to me. You can see the issues they have raised. There are no interpreters with a sign language background. There are no interpreters when they visit their doctors. ...

Hon. Speaker, I have never been a worried man. What is more, when you are in Government, you do not get worried. I want to tell the Leader of the Minority Party that I do not play games, but I watch them and I am a very good fan of Manchester United. So, I do not play any game in the House or wherever. Hon. Speaker, I want to give a statement on the withdrawal of the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority Bill, 2017.

They will do a caesarean on you imagining that you are about to deliver. There are Kenyans who are now scared of going to KNH. We must set the example. That is why we are the people’s representatives. That is why we were given the powers of the budget making. We must put the money. The Chair of the Departmental Committee on Health must listen to me. You must put that compensation fund for these two patients. This Committee must make sure it is part of their business to oversight and make sure the patients recover fully. That is why ...

When a police officer, even in the line of duty, shoots a citizen, he is taken to court and faces criminal offence charges. Am I right? A police officer in the line of duty faces that. Why should a doctor or nurse in their line of duty open my skull? I am a very worried man. I am a very worried man. I am sure, if you have a patient in the KNH…

I just wanted to make sure that Members support me on this. I realised there was no compensation. Samuel Kimani Wachira is a poor man. He was a boda boda rider. So, his life is now in shambles. So, before I go to the body of the Report, I really want to ask the Member for Emurua Dikirr to second this amendment.
