• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: As I conclude, I want to send a message of condolences to the families that have lost lives. As I speak, over 100 families have lost individuals in their homes. I think it is over 100 people who have lost lives. It is very unfortunate. As I move, I ask the Hon. Members from Mugirango South to second. view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, my amendment was subject to the other amendment. It will be redundant if I was to proceed with the other amendment of deletion. view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: That was my amendment. view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I want to withdraw it. view

• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. When you said Hon. Kiptoo, I was wondering who that Member is. At the outset, I oppose this Motion based on the issues as addressed by the Departmental Committee on Health. The challenges that are facing our referral hospitals are enormous. This Report is generalising on issues. If I mention a few, they talked about security. In an organisation like KNH, when you make a proposal to the extent that you need the services of the Inspector General of Police to run the security system there, it is going to become impossible. I believe ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: facilities that are meant to address healthcare issues. Assuming that replacing a CEO or the entire board will change KNH is very backward. The main reason that KNH is in its state is because it is underfunded. You cannot believe the cartels that run those hospitals. There are so many. The cartels that benefit from the mismanagement of most of those hospitals are the ones who, if we do not watch out, will have their people sitting in those positions. The issues are not as a result of a few individuals. The main issue with KNH - like any other ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to support the amendment. I also have intention to introduce further amendments that are going to support that amendment. With the introduction of this amendment, paragraphs 245 and 246 will be overtaken by events. In most First World countries, when a crisis of the KNH nature occurs, it necessitates the relevant institution or ministry to come up with a taskforce so that you get to the inner issues that affect the institution. I want to thank the Member for introducing the element of having a taskforce. It is going to address most of ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to be brief on this issue. While I support the matter that is before this House, I sat in the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock in the 11th Parliament. Issues touching on fertiliser were real issues which affected production by farmers. It is wrong. It is not only wrong but also unfortunate that when farmers are meant to plant early, they do not get fertilisers on time. It is going to affect production. We will not succeed in food security unless we support farmers timely so that we ensure that they produce ... view
• 21 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I really want to thank the Member who has just moved this Motion of Adjournment. It is high time we gave proposals that are going to the end this insecurity. Last week, I travelled to some place in Marakwet to attend a funeral where the deceased had lost his life through a gunshot. Looking at the eyes of the Marakwets and the mourners, I realised that they were so desperate in an environment where there is a Government that was elected to protect and save lives. As the leadership, we need ... view
