We may decide to break crops further and so we will not have to come to the House again to seek amendments every other time we are looking for a Deputy Director. view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was in the queue and I have certainly become a victim of technology. When you came in, you denied me a chance. I am requesting that you protect me now that we are talking about the victim protection Bill. view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Victim Protection Bill. Let me congratulate hon. Millie Odhiambo for a job well done and for, at least, saving us the agony of coming to deal with this Bill the way we normally deal with the constitutional Bills, which come late in the day and we are normally forced to burn the midnight oil. She has done a very good job. I have seen that when her temperatures are okay, she does a good job. She has done us proud. Victims of crime suffer. In ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I have seen the Board that has been proposed to manage the funding under Clause 18. The Fund shall be administered by a Board of Trustees, which shall consist of the Secretary of the Board. But I do not see how the Secretary will be appointed. Issues of funding must be transparent. We cannot just leave a room for guess work. Hon. Odhiambo or any other Member should think about the procedure for appointing the Secretary to the Board, so that it is very clear that the person who will manage this will be competitive recruited. Therefore, the people who ... view
• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to thank the Chair. Having said so, this is a matter affecting national food security. We have a case where farmers have done their best but some funny diseases have come to render those efforts worthless. I would like the Chair to tell the House what his Committee is going to do to ensure that farmers from that region are given relief food? Clearly, there is a disaster in waiting. It has affected a big area. I do not know what the Committee is doing, in liaison with the Ministry, to ensure that the Government prepares ... view

• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Report. On the day of the promulgation of the new Constitution, I was there at Uhuru Park, Kenyans were very hopeful that life would change the next day. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: This Constitution was supposed to be a blessing to this country. However, because of the manner in which devolution issues were handled, sadly devolution has become a curse. This is because you cannot explain the system of working especially on how to get drugs, doctors--- Because of the manner in which this system was handled there was miscarriage. The problem is that our people are suffering. view

For three weeks, there were no drugs, the systems are not there and people do not know who is supposed 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
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: to procure drugs. If there was a function which was supposed to have been done with precision it is the health services.

We want our people to belief in devolution because it is properly done. view
