• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Before I say anything, let me also take this opportunity to send my condolences to the family of Governor Joyce Laboso, who was a friend and also a lady we went to UK with for further studies after we had won scholarships from the British Council. I also want to send my condolences to the family of Ken Okoth who was also a friend and we worked closely in Parliament. We were both Members of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research where he participated very well. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: My contribution to this topic is as follows. One, it is a topic that has taken too long to come to this House. Cancer is a disease that is long-term. It is said by specialists that it can be prevented once it is found on time. Most people cannot detect they have the disease until it has reached a certain level where it is untreatable. In that case, it becomes long-term, very traumatising and very expensive for the family, and the person who is affected normally has to abandon everything they have. They have to quit their jobs and go ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: check-up and so, the health sector must help us access health services on time to make them cheaper. Many people cannot even afford to be members of the national health system. Therefore, they do not have medical cards. In the village where we come from, people just come home and ask you for money for Panadol and other medicine. So, how about checking for cancer? It is definitely going to be very expensive. That is why the health sector or the Ministry of Health should be firm on this matter and ensure that health is not only devolved but also ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I am not going to say whether I support or oppose this Bill. I believe that consultations on this Bill have not been adequately done considering the fact that I belong to the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee that is currently discussing this matter. Yesterday, when we met, we were talking about the selection panel. We have not completed our discussions on that to make any recommendations. I believe The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: that there are many individuals, even in this House, that are interested in making some amendments to this. Before the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee comes up with this Bill in this House, it would be necessary for them to consult with Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee and other individuals. Then we can collapse all these good ideas and discuss them in this House in one big go, so that we can come up with what is necessary for this country. What I oppose is the discussion of this Bill in this House as at now before having consultations with those ... view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: (Siaya (CWR), ODM): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I would like to add my voice to this very important Motion on road safety. As it has already been said, education is power. It gives you information and skills and you know how to use whatever you are being educated on effectively. view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: It is important that we train students in both primary and secondary schools and even those in institutions of higher learning on road safety because we know the consequences of bad use of roads. Accidents not only cause deaths, but also maim people for life. We also know that people incur huge medical bills and others get traumatised. Family members go through trauma as they treat their sick children who have been involved in accidents. If we train young people on road safety, we are actually providing safety to them, so that they can take responsibility on how to cross ... view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: As we train young people and come up with good curriculum for training, those who construct roads must give proper signs on the danger zones and where bumps are. I have hit my car badly very many times on a bump that is not visible simply because it is not marked. There are also dangerous corners which do not have signs. The road contractors must obey or at least educate people on where the road is dangerous and where rivers, bumps and sharp corners are so that people start avoiding them a little bit earlier. They should also give people ... view
