I rise to support this Bill and talk briefly pertaining to specific clauses that have differences between the National Assembly and the Senate. We know very well that health is a devolved function and it is a responsibility of county governments. I am happy to note that the Senate played a very critical role in improving this Bill. I would like to comment on Clause 1 where they are talking about abortion. Obviously, there is no point of giving a definition of a term which has not been used in a given write-up. I agree ... view

• 22 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: For you to be one, you must have the technical expertise. When you read today’s Daily Nation headline, it features a medical quack who fortunately or unfortunately did a successful operation somewhere in the Rift Valley. He was in medical school, but never graduated, but he was employed. How was he employed for heaven’s sake? You can only employ someone who is qualified. When it comes to medicine, it is an area you cannot compromise. You need somebody who is qualified and has met the minimum threshold. That is why we have grading in the humanities like we have First ... view

• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is very unfortunate that somebody who died in the line of duty has not been compensated up to now.

• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: died in the line of duty has not been compensated up to now. We passed an insurance law whereby we were so strict when it comes to timelines of payment. In case of these delays, we need to take into consideration the time value of money. A shilling today is not the same shilling a month to come. It is very unfortunate for this family. We are calling upon the relevant Committee - in this case I think it is Benjamin Langat’s Committee - to move with speed so that the family is compensated immediately. He was a breadwinner.

The Bible says in the book of Revelations Chapter 7, Verse 17, that it is only the Lord who will wipe all of our tears. It is our prayer ... view
• 15 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to comment on the Petition by Hon. Simba Arati.

The conditions under which the employees were dismissed are contrary to labour laws. This House discusses and resolves issues that affect the people.
