• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Data is important in ensuring transparency in the distribution of national resources. We have a problem in this country because some areas are enormous and have been allocated more resources based on data that is not substantiated. We have areas in this country where it is very difficult to get a birth certificate but it is very easy to get it in other areas. I represent people in Khwisero Constituency. Twenty years down the line since Khwisero was made district headquarters, we have never had an officer in charge of civil registration posted there. The challenge may not be district ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Motion. As a House, we should follow it up to ensure that it is implemented. It should not just form the basis of archives in Government departments. We should follow it up to ensure that whatever we decide as a House on this Motion is implemented. I thank you. view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. I appreciate that cancer is a deadly disease which has caused more harm than good to the common population in this country. The fundamental question that we should ask ourselves as a nation is why we are at this state and when we reached here. My honest submission on this is that the blame game should go back to the Ministry of Health. The Ministry of Health has failed this nation because it has strategies that do not address cancer issues. The Ministry of Health has focused on ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: early, cancer is treatable. Let us invest more in preventive strategies to ensure that cancer does not progress to incurable stages in order for us to avoid investing in curative strategies. Why are we not vaccinating our young girls yet we have a vaccine? We have seen the Ministry invest in immunisation and vaccination in respect of other diseases but we have never seen any effort put by the Ministry of Health towards vaccinating our young girls against cervical cancer. As much as we declare cancer a national disaster, we need to revisit where we experienced challenges or where we ... view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First, having worked at KNH as an intern, I want to appreciate the work that those Kenyans do. It is very disturbing that honourable Members in this House can get to the Floor to bash a national referral centre together with its workers who work tirelessly. They even forfeit part of their rights to support the sick Kenyans. We have forgotten about the conjoined twins who were separated at KNH. We have forgotten about baby Osinya who had a bullet lodged in the head ... view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: manner of things about them? For your information, those registrars are not paid. Some of them support themselves. It is high time we investigated more about the registrars. What are the solutions we can provide? We cannot waste time bashing and yet, we do not suggest solutions. I propose that we support those registrars. Can we have a policy in the Ministry of Health that says that registrars are entitled to a pay? KNH is where it is because of a failed health system, both nationally and at the county levels. It is a referral centre meant to address referred ... view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: We give money to KNH. How much? I sit in the Budget and Appropriations Committee. It is only Kshs1 billion. How much money have we given the Ministry of Health headquarters? We have given it several billions. For what? The Ministry of Health manages only two facilities – KNH and MTRH. However, we allocate them billions of shillings. That is why people are fighting and that is why Afya House is now called “Mafia House”. People fight for money. Those resources can be transferred and used to support other health facilities in this country. Lastly, we have approved money for ... view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: It is Aseka. I agree with the Chairman of the BAC that the National Treasury tried within its powers to prepare a BPS, which to us, as a Committee, met about 80 per cent of the legal requirement. But as a House, we need to appreciate that we come from different political persuasions. At the end of the day, the national good comes first. Through the discussion in this House, we have realised that the big four agenda, as it is and as we see it being The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. ... view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: a guiding principle in this BPS, will remain a pipe dream or a myth if the National Treasury, the Executive and line Ministries do not align their programmes with the budget provision. As we were interrogating the BPS, we expected that when we talk about food security, it should align the strategies and tactics to be used in addressing food insecurity. For example, the BPS could have told Kenyans how many expanded irrigation schemes the Government will put in place. The BPS could have come up with a strategy in agriculture on how they will improve livestock production, which will ... view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I support the Executive and the National Treasury on the big four agenda. Before they bring the Appropriations Bill to this House, they should reorganise their Budget, so that it matches the objectives of the Government in the big four agenda. view
