• 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
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to echo the sentiments of my sister, Hon. Kajuju, through that petition. Today is a sad day for the residents of Meru and especially the late students of Igembe. Last night we lost five residents through cattle rustlers, 15 animals were killed and 1,000 animals were stolen. Hon. Speaker, this has been perennial in our area and our neighbours are doing this with impunity. I am sorry to say through investigations, some leaders from Isiolo County are involved in these heinous crimes. We have had meetings with our brothers and sisters ... view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Of late, every other day we have been losing animals and there is a day we took a petition to His Excellency the President. The losses since 2010 total about Kshs400 million in terms of 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
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: livestock stolen and over 300 people have been killed. We, the residents of Meru and precisely those who are neighbouring our brothers never steal anybody’s cattle. They usually come for our cattle and that is why I remember one day in this august House, I said that they have made us Automatic Teller Machines (ATM). They have been collecting our animals. Once these animals are stolen and cross their border, it becomes impossible to return them. That is why we are wondering what the security arms of this country is doing when some communities are trying to make others poorer ... view
