• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. With those two minutes, I will seek to summarise. Clause 49 of the Bill speaks to the fact that a decision ought to be made in terms of a person’s application for legal aid. That is a violation of this Bill. You cannot tell a maximum of a grant or anything else that ought to be done in a manner that only costs because once you are within the meaning of the definition of ‘indigent’, then you ought to benefit from the scheme. Clause 71 of the Bill is key and perhaps, I will ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: awarded costs, it is not fair that all that money goes to the service. The service was representing me because I was not able to. Clause 71 ought to read “portion of the award goes to the service for purposes of supporting the service, but also some of the money which is accrued be compensation or then goes to the person who is being aided”. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for indulging me. There are fairly good provisions in this Bill, but we will canvass most of them in the Committee of the whole House. All in all, it ... view
• 10 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to start from the point at which Hon. Simiyu was trying to explain to Hon. Jakoyo. I think Hon. Jakoyo would better listen to me because I would like to give him some legal understanding of what Hon. Simiyu was trying to say. I have listened to the first two doctors speak very well and they have spoken to serious issues medical, but what they have refused to understand or speak to are serious issues legal. Hon. Eseli Simiyu speaks to Clause 24 of this Bill. What they are trying to ... view
• 10 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I am happy to be informed, but at this point--- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 10 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I do not want to be informed by Hon. Nyikal. I said that I want tell him things legal because he has spoken things medical. view
• 10 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. What is bothering members of the Departmental Committee on Health is what is bothering all Members of Parliament. What is bothering all of us is that the health function is not going on very well in the counties. As Members of Parliament, we cannot sit here and constantly cry that things are not going on well without doing anything. However, the provision to work with is not Section 15 of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. What ought to help us is the provision of Article 187 of the Constitution. The provision ... view
• 10 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have listened to a lot of medical language today and I appreciate the gentlemen. However, they must appreciate what is legal and what is medical. What we are talking about in terms of emergency healthcare is legal. Article 43(2) of the Constitution is very express that emergency medical treatment shall be accorded. You cannot put a condition in the manner you are trying to do in Clause 7(2) by subjecting this right to progressive realisation as per the provisions of Clause 54(2). That cannot happen. It is not the business of a patient ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support the Committee’s proposal in terms of Clause 8. I would also like to take the angle that the Hon. Member for Endebess has taken. Whereas the Committee is full of very well intentioned Members of Parliament and they also want us to save on costs, it is not possible to establish authority offices in all the 47 counties, I think they should consider perhaps going the way the water sector is being managed where we have various counties lumped together with various authorities so that an authority is established ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Authority is something that is long overdue and the very best we can give it is consideration so that, at least, it is not just ASAL areas that benefit. In fact, most ASAL areas have suffered and establishment of authority like this one is going to ensure that their livelihoods are improved. But, I really think the Committee then ought to consider how to structure the branches of the Authority, not by just limiting them to counties but various sections of the counties having regions. I support and thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I did not finish, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
