• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: We also need patents for the same. If a Mzungu dresses like a Maasai, he must pay for it. If a Mzungu wears a monkey’s hide or hats which are worn by our Meru elders, he must pay for them because this is our culture. Those are traditions which should be protected and people should earn from them. view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I also support the fact that no individuals should take people’s ways of life to benefit themselves individually. If it is a traditional way of life for a certain community, let it be for the benefit of that particular community but not for individuals so that whatever is gained from selling or marketing that particular culture should benefit that community and the future generations. view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the Bill. view
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion on the development of a national curriculum for training of medical personnel on emergency care. Medical care is an integral part of our way of life. It takes care of the welfare and the health of the people. If you critically look at our situation in Kenya today, healthcare is a bit neglected and not taken seriously. view
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I request for your protection from my neighbours here. They cannot let me contribute. view
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for the intervention. I was saying that we do not take health services seriously, especially in the new constitutional dispensation where we have devolved them. The problem has been escalated. It has become a quagmire and it is now a pull and push between the county governments and the national Government through the Ministry of Health. In the process of that pushing and shoving, patients who require those services are left on the receiving end. It is in the public domain that recently, patients have lost their lives in one way or the other. When ... view
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Therefore, I strongly support the fact that we need to have special personnel who can handle the persons who are injured during emergency situations prudently, professionally and as fast as possible. On the same note, we might talk of installing equipment in our Level 5, Level 6 and referral hospitals in our country. We might talk of bringing ICU equipment, dialysis equipment and all other equipment required for safe treatment of persons and saving lives. However, if we do not have qualified personnel who are trained to use them, they will be there as monuments. They will be there to ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I rise to support the Motion brought by my colleague, Hon. Victor Munyaka. I strongly support the idea because I think Kenya today is a country where we have more illegal firearms than the legal ones. Given the location we are in and our neighbours who are ever at war, Kenya has been prone and open to proliferation of firearms to the extent that in some parts of this country there are guns in almost every household, and nobody knows how they got them, when ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: are there or not. Some of them could even be tethered under the chassis of the vehicles. The policeman just looks at the people in the vehicle and lets them go. So, an electronic device which can trace these weapons will go a long way in reducing crime and trying to check on those who hold guns illegally. The Government should put more effort in disarming communities which have guns. We have some parts of this country where a gun is just like a panga, or a walking stick. We are told that people should not have illegal guns, but ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to this Report. As I contribute to this Report, I contribute with a heavy heart because we are discussing a Kenyan who has done a lot for this country especially in his profession. We are discussing him here in Parliament in his twilight years because age and health have caught up with him. That is why I say I am discussing this with a very heavy heart. It would have been prudent for this senior citizen of this country to have been consulted properly and, at least, told to ... view
