• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is a lot of pain. We really need a clear balance. I have listened to the Departmental Committee on Health. I am a Christian and a Catholic for that matter. I listened carefully when hon. Millie was trying to move this Bill. I listened keenly to hon. Joyce Lay when she was seconding this Bill; she was actually almost crying. It is a right of any Kenyan to have a child. I listened to hon. (Dr.) Pukose as he talked on this issue. As a Christian, I was very keen to listen to what the ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I support this Bill because I have looked at the Christian’s teachings. As a Christian, I am pro-life. I oppose matters of abortion. However, in this Bill, the issues of pro-life are not clear. I have not seen anything. My friend and neighbour, hon. (Dr.) Pukose just indicated to me that it is likely to be abused. If something is likely to be abused, this is the time the Ministry must come in to map the risks because there is possibility of many people abusing this law. So, we need to put measures in place in order to mitigate those ... view

• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: are in the Ministry of Health. It does no harm if the Departmental Committee on Health comes up with some amendments to this Bill, so that if it is the issue of authority that they do not want, the Ministry can take that in terms of regulation. We have different departments in the Ministry of Health which have different mandates. I listened keenly and I have heard some people in my constituency who have similar problems, but they cannot speak openly in the African culture. I want to thank hon. Millie and hon. Joyce for being brave and speaking openly ... view

• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. It is very disappointing to see Members of a Committee showing their differences on the Floor of the House. At the outset, I support this Report. The main objective of this Committee had nothing to do with the allegation of corruption but they were to look into issues of breach of privilege. When the Mover was moving, he attempted to highlight the Members who had breached privilege. He even mentioned them. Some of the reasons he advanced were that the people who had breached privilege are the ones who have been adversely affected when it ... view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, on the way forward, I had an issue with gagging and including some Members in the Committee. The Report is specific. It states that at least six Members should remain for purposes of continuity. However, I would have wished that this work is left to the Committee on Selection so that it exercises some discretion and decides the Members who are supposed to be in this Committee. I also support this Report because it is going to be a wakeup call on many honourable Members who come up with wild allegations. This House is going down because ... view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: happen to the reputation of the Member you have mentioned adversely? So, I request hon. Members to look at this Report objectively. Let us debate it objectively because it is for the purposes of this House. We also recommend that the Procedure and House Rules Committee comes in and--- view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. May I send my message of condolence to all those who lost their lives and condemn this act of terrorism? view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in Trans-Nzoia County, we lost nine people. My own constituency lost two people – one Mr. Oliver Maina and one Ms. Diana. It is so painful. The victims were young Kenyans who had gone to seek knowledge for a better future. Unfortunately, they went home in coffins. The victims in my constituency were from very poor backgrounds. If you got the opportunity to read today’s newspaper, you must have learnt that some of them could not even get a place to be buried. The mother of Mr. Oliver Maina is a single parent who sold everything ... view
