• 25 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second. As Hon. Nzambia has articulated in moving the Motion, a health and wellness unit is very important for this House. In the 11th Parliament, I remember at one point while we were seated in the Members’ Lobby, Hon. Samal, the then Member for Isiolo North, collapsed. None of us who were there had any medical experience. It took us time to even think about where to get an ambulance from. Indeed, a Member had to run to St. John’s Ambulance, opposite County Hall, to get an ambulance to rescue the ... view
• 25 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: You have seen even members of staff falling ill in their offices. With the traffic in this town, even rescuing a member of staff and taking them to hospital takes quite some time. Indeed, this a best practice all progressive Parliaments around the world adopt. Hon. Nzambia will tell you that the Liaison Committee has visited the Parliament of Ghana. Also, being an emerging democracy, and a good case study in Africa, they have such a unit in Ghanaian Parliament. It is not just parliaments, but the Central Bank of Kenya has such a health service unit for their staff. ... view
• 25 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Sabina had asked for such a provision for infants and young lactating mothers to have a place where they can take care of their children within the precincts of Parliament. I, really, want to encourage the Parliamentary Service Commission to ensure that as they complete the new office complex, all other available space that is being left within is utilised to make sure that we have all these facilities around so that we do not just be seen to be going to benchmark in other countries like Ghana, our own institutions in the country like Central Bank and Safaricom, ... view

• 21 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Petition. I ask the Chairperson, Hon. Kabinga, that as they consider this Petition, they should also seriously look into how the Government can regulate the agents who send our young ladies and men to Saudi Arabia, so that if a person gets harassed or tortured anywhere in Saudi Arabia, then the agent who sent them there should be held culpable back here at home. The problem is with the agents who send our children to people that they know will mistreat them and end up doing nothing. But more so, ... view

• 21 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Indeed, I agree with you. I was proposing to the Member for Nyando that this is something that we should consider legislating on. It is true that many constituencies and county offices are suffering because of penalties that are not occasioned by delays by our constituencies and county managers, but delays in release of the Exchequer by the National Treasury. The Finance Bill and the amendments to it that the Committee brought last week and we debated is something the Member of Nyando should consider. He should bring an amendment to the Income Tax ... view

The Finance Bill and the amendments to it that the Committee brought last week and we debated is something the Member of Nyando should consider. He should bring an amendment to the Income Tax Act to exempt, not just our constituency and county offices, but also many Government bodies that get penalised because the National Treasury has not ... view
