• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, research has shown that if we can deal with those simple things, we can reduce diseases by 50 or 60 per cent. That is why I also want to urge this House that as we prepare for Budget, we seek to allocate more money for preventive health care. This is because it is cheaper, more practical and maintains a healthy nation. A lot of money has been going to curative medicine. When a patient is in hospital, money has to be used to cater for that patient. If we put more money in preventive health ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this House passed a Motion to establish a cancer centre. We are looking for funds to establish that centre so that we can do more research.

• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I believe we are debating the amendment, and not the whole Motion. So, could the hon. Member restrict himself to the amendment seeking to expunge the name of Mr. Kimunya from the Report. view

• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we all passed through a teacher. Teachers are as important as mothers. Those are the two most important people that one cannot do without. From the onset, I do support this Motion. I also condemn whole-heartedly, all the corruption through which money is being lost by this Government. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: It is our responsibility to follow up that money and return it back to the Government; we should lay on the Table all the names involved and those people made to pay for it.

They should also tell us who it is they are working with, because I am sure they did not just get that money. I also appreciate that, even with all that theft and the high prices of food due to ... view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we all agree that we should pay the teachers now and we can do it; but we must also be responsible.

My suggestion is that we should agree here that we are all ready to pay our taxes, so that the ... view
