• 31 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to speak to this important Bill. I have not seen you since the beginning of the year. I would like to wish you a happy New Year. I also want to wish you well in your endeavours in the county. This Bill provides for registration of persons practising as hydrologists or professions related to the water sector. It also seeks to instil order in the profession by introducing guidelines and regulations to guide practitioners on how to undertake their professional activities. Just like in any other profession, if there is ... view
• 31 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: petition that was presented to this House by the medical practitioners. If we have mechanisms as provided in this Bill, we will minimise instances of disputes. A clear dispute resolution mechanism is necessary because disputes are anticipated in our normal practices. Doctors are very important people in any society because they save lives and keep us healthy. While the responsibility of practitioners in this profession is huge, the Government should listen and give attention to them. I want to talk about the doctors’ claims because it is not sub judice in terms of certain agreements made with the Government by ... view
• 31 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am just making a citation. Professionals should be given adequate attention whenever they raise issues that affect them in the course of their practice. There must be mechanisms to prevent strikes. We must look at the happenings in our country and make comparisons. This Bill prescribes certain offences. Clause 35 empowers the Cabinet Secretary (CS) to make regulations. This is good because regulations will help them undertake their roles. It is important that any regulation that is put in place is well thought out to the extent that it complements the work of members of the ... view

• 31 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also want to thank my brother, Hon. David Ochieng, for bringing this Motion to the House, which is in recognition of the serious suffering that our people are going through. This drought has affected food security. It is important that this matter is looked into. As Members, we have a responsibility to discuss this issue and get a solution. In Bungoma, we have never experienced this kind of drought for many years. We always have had our streams and rivers running throughout the year. Right now, all our rivers, streams, boreholes and even shallow ... view
• 31 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: It is important that our Government comes up with policies that would ensure that we address the issue of climate change and global warming, so that people are alerted. We should be told when it is going to be cold. We should know which days of the month and which period particular adverse weather conditions would obtain, so that people can prepare themselves. I am sure it is going to take us time before we cope. In Europe, they know in advance when there will be winter and summer. They, therefore, prepare even to have, say, winter clothes or summer ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to make my contribution on the Public Service Commission Bill, 2016. Members may not realise, but this is one of the most important Bills before the House. It is not just giving effect to the Constitution. Any country, world over, that wants to keep it’s stability and harmonise relationships within its people and ensure that peace is maintained at all times even under unique circumstances, must have a stable public service. There is need to have a public service that will ensure that there is adequate delivery of service ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: good citizens who can contribute to the development of our country. Unless such measures are put in place by a well organised institution like the PSC, it will be very difficult for us to deal with that problem. It is the responsibility of the PSC to determine the instruments and procedures to be followed by the Public Service. It is their responsibility to determine the needs of staff. They should make projections of the number of staff they will require in the next 10 years. They should also look for adequate compensation to ensure retention of personnel. Doctors have left ... view
• 29 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This is not a laughing matter. It is very serious. When I saw a man lying on another one, I did not know it was Hon. Kaluma. view
• 29 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Then there was another lady who seemed like she was enjoying. She was clapping. This is very serious now. I want to say sorry to my colleague. I did not know it was him and I hope it will not affect his re-election. view
