• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Absolutely, Hon. Deputy Speaker. During planning, we use trade analysis in most cases. Despite the fact that COVID-19 is there, a projection ought to have been done. You do what we call extrapolation, a methodology used in planning. The COVID-19 pandemic has been here. When it comes to quarantine at the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), the Cabinet Secretary should have done a projection. It is not just from nowhere, but for planning purposes, it must be projected. The COVID-19 pandemic is here to stay. We should not entertain unnecessary amendments. On the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA), testing is ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Equipment (PPE). We need a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health on matters of corruption at KEMSA. It was an issue raised by the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC). A sum of Kshs1.5 billion is not little money. This money will still be channelled there. We must have mechanisms to ensure that we have a testing centre in every county. This will help Kenyans in planning and coming up with mitigating strategies against COVID-19. view

• 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My concern pertaining what has been raised is that we have had a lot of issues on this matter of the SGR. We also discussed it the whole of last week. I remember there was a response to be given, but the Member, my chairman, was not in the House. By then the Leader of the Majority Party mentioned that the matter, according to your direction, a preliminary meeting should be held for purposes of inclusivity, so that it is resolved once and for all. view

• 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. In the book of Ecclesiastes, the Bible says that there is time for everything. There is time to enter and there is time to exit. As Hon. Duale exits, he leaves behind a strong legacy of hard work. In the last Parliament, the temperatures were very high because there was no Handshake. I remember we were on this side and he was on that side and all through he scored. He did good work. He is going not because of incompetence, but because of politics. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I want to tell Hon. Duale that as he moves forward, a big door is going to open. The rejected stone became the cornerstone. I want to tell him that in 2022 he will play a critical role. I was relieved of the position of Deputy Whip of the Minority Party and as you can see, I have put on some weight. For the incoming Leader of the Majority Party, we congratulate him, but please let him neither die nor resign. We will be here to support him and we will support His Excellency the President and move forward to ... view

• 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support. One important thing that we need to know is that the bulk of parliamentary work is done in committees. My humble request, as pertains to Standing Order 179 on election of chair and vice- chair, is that we must look at competence. It is not a must that the chairpersons must come from the Majority side. We should also have room for the Minority side if they can demonstrate competence to also be given an opportunity to chair some of these departmental committees. We have seen problems. Sometimes back we had issues ... view
