• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Lastly, it is about litter. We have a habit, as Kenyans, to throw paper everywhere. We have travelled abroad and have seen how clean foreign countries are. Their streets are swept. You do not find even a little piece of paper lying anywhere, because they are sensitive to environmental cleanliness, and educate their children right from the time when they are babies. I would recommend that environmental education be taken seriously. view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: We need to educate our children right from an early age, so that by the time they are adults, they are extremely sensitive to cleanliness; spitting or throwing banana peelings all over should be stopped. You could be following a vehicle in front of you, and somebody in that vehicle keeps on eating bananas and throwing away peelings. You just see every three minutes peelings dropping out of the vehicle in front of you. They keep on dropping out because somebody is eating bananas and does not care where to throw the peelings. He does not even keep them until ... view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Bill. 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
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to say that water is a problem throughout the country, and it is not just at home where people do not have enough water. The sad thing is that water is necessary and sometimes we do not have water even in hospitals. Those who have patients in hospitals carry water to their sick loved ones. What a shame! Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, schools do not have water. Therefore, students draw water from the river. They waste a lot of time when they are supposed to be in ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Lake Victoria, where I come from, is a huge lake. It is one of the best waters in the world, yet we still lack water. I see women drawing water from ponds after the rain and it is all brown and green. Women draw water from there and yet there is a fresh water lake there; yet there is the Ministry of Water and the district water--- I do not know the names because the names have changed over time. But we have institutions that manage water already from the old system moving on to what we now have in ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: careful because we are coming with institutions that will not manage any single drop of water because there is no water anywhere anyway. view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I support the Motion because any country needs to know who its heroes are. They need to remember them and record the history of the people who have become heroes and heroines. For sure, the late Michael Wamalwa Kijana was known internationally. As hon. Members have said here, this was a scholar and a man of great distinction, with a powerful background. He was a lawyer; he spoke the Queen’s English, and he had many students who admired him. Those who study ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Firstly, Ebola is now a global threat, just like terrorism. The world is ensuring that the virus does not spread to their countries. What surprised me about this country is that as other countries withdrew their flights from West Africa when Ebola broke out, we continued to send our flights there. The Kenyan authorities did not seem to be bothered that there was an Ebola outbreak. They did not seem to know that it was dangerous. The risk that the Government of Kenya took surprised me immensely. When other countries were withdrawing their flights, Kenya was very busy flying there ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Secondly, the healthcare system in Kenya has always been very bad. We do not have enough doctors and nurses. We do not have medicines, including basic medicines like Panadol. We do not have cotton wool or syringes. We are not prepared. We need to be very serious when dealing with diseases that kill shortly after one is infected, like view
