• 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: Let us have these committees constituted and then we will be able to carry out the business that we are supposed to carry out in this House in a more meaningful manner. view
• 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: As I support the Bill, I would like to say that this Bill is very important. For the first time the people at the county level will set their development agenda. We may be complaining that we do not have enough revenue, but revenue is never enough at any given time, anyway. But, at least, this time round we have approximately 22 per cent of the revenue going to the counties. I am sure this amount of money can be used to transform the lives of our people down there by providing services. Marginalization should be a thing of the ... view

• 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: Concerning the conditional allocation, I would like to concur with my colleagues who have spoken before that in allocating these particular funds, there should be equity, accountability and transparency. When I see at provincial and referral hospitals, I tend to imagine the drafters of the Estimates and Vote Heads might have forgotten that the provincial system is long gone. I would have expected to see county hospitals because that is what is envisaged in devolution. We would want to have in every county a referral hospital worth the name.

• 24 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. Hon.

Even when we are not here, as the Leader of Government Business said, we will be in our constituencies discussing the Budget with our constituents. So, I believe that those out there thinking that Parliament is a place ... view

I have experience and know that ordinary people cannot access health care. They are unable to access health care basically because they cannot afford it. This particular ... view
