• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise under Standing Order No. 95. We are just debating the mediated clause and there is a lot of repetition. It is like everything has been exhausted. Therefore, I beg to move that the Mover be called upon to reply? Thank you. view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. These amendments are very critical and it is in order that we follow. Actually, the consistence is not there. We were just at the Prisons Act, after we had Criminal Procedure Code. We have jumped to the other one. It seems that it is not flowing in the Order Paper. Can we have that guidance so that we follow? view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, what Hon. Ichung’wah has mentioned is true. With regard to the Pharmacy and Poisons Board, it is the pharmacists who are critical. He has proposed three names with regard to gender. We, however, need some clarity because the first clause talks of the public service and the second one talks about the community pharmacy and the pharmaceutical industry. I rise to support because it makes a lot of sense. view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it is true. Article 95 is clear that the legislative authority is vested in this House. However, looking at the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, particularly the amendments to the Kenya Information and Communications Act, we know very well that the history of the Kenya Information and Communications Act amendments has been very controversial. Therefore, I agree with what Hon. Wamunyinyi said, because the amendment is substantive. It even comes under the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. Even the substantive committee in charge of communication – the one chaired by Hon. Jamleck Kamau – has not ... view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a very critical issue. I thank you very much for giving me an opportunity to contribute. Land is a factor of production. Coming from Trans Nzoia County, it is important that we know who the genuine squatters are. The people of Trans Nzoia have suffered a lot. We have had people from outside Trans Nzoia County being settled yet the real squatters who have been there for years have not been given any chance. My humble request to the Departmental Committee on Lands is that when they go there, it is important that they give ... view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: It is high time the National Land Commission (NLC) moved in. The county government is also sleeping on the job as far as this issue of land is concerned. The Committee should also involve us, as leaders. I thank you. view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to speak on the Health Bill. Indeed, it is a critical Bill that needs to be given ample time. I am already drafting an amendment that I will prosecute when the Bill gets to the Committee of the whole House stage. view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: The Constitution is very clear. It provides a right to the highest attainable standard of healthcare for every Kenyan which includes the right to health services and reproductive health care. The Fourth Schedule of the Constitution talks about health being a devolved function. However, when it comes to policy, it is done by the national Government. The experience in my constituency is that deaths have increased since 2010 and I have been asking myself why this is so. This is because the health function has been devolved to the county levels, and the county government has no capacity as far ... view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: We have experienced strikes by health workers in Busia, Trans Nzoia and in almost all the counties. The heath workers have been going on strike because of poor working conditions. In terms of professional development, the county governments have no capacity to ensure continuity of medical specialization. Again, the law is talking about referral hospitals. This is what I will seek to amend at the Committee of the whole House stage. Currently, we only have two referral hospitals in this country which fall under the national Government namely, the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital ... view
