• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have not mentioned any county. This is an issue that we must debate without any anger so long as we put the facts in place. I support that amendment because it is objective; it is legal and anyone who came erroneously should be prosecuted. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. I rise to seek your direction regarding responses to Statements. Sometime back the Procedure and House Rules Committee made some amendments where on Wednesdays the House starts at 9.30 a.m. which has been implemented very well. There is also the issue of Cabinet Secretaries coming here to respond to some Statements. We would like to know whether this is still in place and when we will start seeing them coming here to issue Statements for purposes of ownership and accountability. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Chair for the good response. Could the Chair clarify the timeframe it takes a hospital to be paid in an ideal situation after it has submitted all the required documents? How long does it take for it to get the reimbursement? view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Secondly, I have seen some individuals apply for the processing of the NHIF cards so that they can access hospital facilities. In some regions, you will find hospitals sending people away unless they have that card. How long does it take a patient or somebody who has applied for the card from the NHIF to get it so that he can be admitted to hospital? view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I rise to support this Bill and to thank hon. Dr. Ottichilo for coming up with such a wonderful Bill. It is clearly stipulated in our Constitution that any international policy or agreement that Kenya is a signatory to becomes one of the laws. If you look at the international policies like the 1998 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol and all these treaties, Kenya is a signatory. It goes without saying that we needed this Bill like yesterday in order to domesticate it. Hon. Deputy Speaker, our grandfathers never ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: In some regions, you find that they plant eucalyptus trees in water catchment areas. After some time, you cannot plant anything there. Therefore, with a Bill like this farmers will be advised on the kinds of crops or plants to plant. Another issue I wanted to mention is about electricity. Electricity heavily relies on water. We have seen in many cases we have shortage of electricity. If we want to industrialize this country, electricity is very critical. We talk of things like laptops which need electricity. But if we do not manage the issue of climate change properly, once the ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to support. Going through the Act, you will realize that there is a lot of emphasis when it comes to ethnic discrimination. That was why as you came up with these names the ethnic background of candidates should have been a key priority. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: In talking about the names of 15 nominees, I did not hear the Mover, hon. Chepkong’a, whom I respect very much, mention whether we have a youth in this list. We were told that Belinda is 37 years old and that is not a youth. This is because according to the Constitution, a youth should be 35 years old or younger. So, this list lacks the youth, as much as they have done very well when it comes to gender. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I heard hon. Amina propose hon. Kaparo to be the Chair; we know that Dr. Kibunjia, who was the previous Chair, was a man. It is my humble request to His Excellency the President that this time we should have a lady as the chair of this commission. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I think this will add a lot of value. From this Motion, we have been told that Belinda Okoth Ochiel scored the highest marks and it is my humble request to His Excellency the President to appoint her the chair of this commission. If this is done, we will have some changes. view
