• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: which has brought a lot of excitement and problems. When I go to my constituency, for example, there are those wazees who have applied, but unfortunately the Government did not have enough money to cater for them. So, some were given and others were not given. If such a fund is going to be in place, it is going to help the wazees who did not qualify. They only provided for Kshs500,000 for the entire country. Research has shown that we have more than 2 million Kenyans aged 65 years and above. So, what will Kshs500,000, do: where will the ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to thank my friend, hon. Mule for such a wonderful idea of this Motion of Adjournment. Indeed, Ebola is deadly and dangerous. With such a disease, we cannot rule out the issues of discrimination and the issues of stigma. It is time the Ministry of Health should tell Kenyans what they have done in terms of preparedness. You realize that health as a function is devolved; now it is under the county. I was asking myself, if such an issue happens in a place like Trans- Nzoia, Turkana, or Busia for that matter, what ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: needs to know, what are these critical symptoms that this patient is supposed to exhibit? We are about to do Supplementary Budget and this the time we should give the Ministry of Health more money. We put a lot of emphasis on the security of this country and compromise our health. If health care is compromised, Ebola can come in as a threat to security. You can imagine, if one person gets Ebola, it is going to wipe out the entire generation. Sorry for my friends from Ukambani who went to Seychelles; indeed, if it was determined beyond reasonable doubt ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: responsibility. This needs to be a multi-sectoral approach. We cannot leave it to the Ministry of Health to do it alone. I want to thank my colleague and the Health Committee for bringing up this matter. We need to know what the Ministry is doing. I know the Ministry is doing so much and Kenyans need to know that we are safe. In case of financial shortage, I think we are ready in the Supplementary Budget to give more money to the Ministry of Health. Thank you. view
• 21 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker and thank you for granting me this opportunity to pay my tribute to this great Kenyan, Prof. Ali Mazrui. I did not get an opportunity to meet Prof Ali Mazrui, but I have read about him. I have read about his writings in the academic journal and, indeed, he was a great teacher. He was a great scholar. He was a great researcher and more importantly, listening to what people have to say, he was very charismatic. Hon. Speaker, it is fortunate he passed on when the Heroes Act has been operationalised. It is important for ... view
• 21 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Day. Indeed, Professor is a Shujaa. One thing that is unique about Professor, as 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
• 21 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: much as he was a Muslim, he was very flexible. We are told that he married a Christian. In the world right now, Christians are facing persecution. It is high time Muslims and Christians existed peacefully. We must tolerate each other and be flexible. When you go to other countries, Christians are being persecuted because of their faith. It is my humble request that tolerance must be there when it comes to religion. He was a patriot. You can imagine he had an opportunity to be an American, but he did not want to be a citizen of America. Many ... view
• 21 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. This Bill is long overdue. We are aware there is Certified Public Analysts and I have discussed this with the Chair. In terms of consistency, for instance, we have the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK). When we go to the Third Reading, we will recommend that this institute be given a name that is consistent with the profession. So, it should be called ICFAK, that is Institute of Certified Financial Analysts of Kenya. I think that is going to be in line with the existing ... view
• 21 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: I met a doctor friend who had so much money that he wanted to invest. He went for the Initial Public Offering (IPO) and he wanted a short term investment where you look at the capital appreciation as opposed to when you are looking at issues of dividends. We did not have proper professionals to advise investors and that is why I want to thank the committee that came up with this Bill. We want it to move with speed so that we can even prioritise it. As we move on, there are many public organisations which are supposed to ... view
• 21 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, having such a body in place is going to help us remove quacks. At the same time, Certified Financial Analysts as a practice is very expensive. I know it is in Strathmore. We have been having it studied in South Africa. When such a body is in place, it is going to domesticate this profession so that we can have local centres of training of this profession. Looking at the forces of demand and supply, obviously the fees is going to be low. The exam fee and the training fee are going to be low. So, ... view
