• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: make mobility very flexible and people can interact and exchange human labor, expertise and resources. Coming down to our country, we are members of the East African Community (EAC). We need to clean this House first before we join others. In as much as we would like to join through protocols and also get an insight of what is happening with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG), Southern African Development Community (SADC) of South Africa, Common Market for Eastern and South Africa (COMESA) and the others, we need to ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: There was a time we were at the Namanga Border, and they had to call Dar es Salaam for us to be allowed in as Members of Parliament. It proved that our neighbours, Tanzania, are not keen on this arrangement. Kenyans are the beneficiaries of the same because we have more advanced human expertise and resources than them. Our currency is stronger than theirs. We are so much a head of then in very many things. Therefore, they look at us as the “big boy” who might bully them. As such, they step on these issues. We went to Kampala ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: things to be happen to us. Therefore, a member state can stay with us despite her shortcoming. We should have clear laws that will be respected and accepted by each member state. This will work effectively if one is allowed to come to Kenya any time he/she wants with proper documents, provided he or she adheres to the laws of this country. They will not encounter any bottlenecks. As the President said the other day, it is happening. However, if you visit other EAC countries, you will find that there are many bottlenecks. The Customs Services Department under the Kenya ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My neighbour and cousin is amusing me because he thought he would get the opportunity. However, he has just walked in and did not know what has been transpiring. I would like him to pay attention so that he can contribute later. I stand to second this Motion and thank my sister Hon. Ruweida for bringing it to this House. More so, she has highlighted with sensitivity the problems Kenya citizens are facing because of this dangerous and bad disease which afflicts many, whether young, middle-aged or old. Diabetes can be rated as one ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: means of preventing these diseases. We have high blood pressure which is a big problem in this country. We have cancer, a deadly disease which is affecting each and every person in this country. By the time these diseases are discovered, that is the time we are arranging to send these people off because already they will die. If we had those measures put in place, community health workers in our localities and nurses in our small hospitals and other places can be trained and people can get sensitised to have themselves checked so that once we discover that these ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I do not see why as a Government, we can pitch tents in markets to give people voting cards but we cannot pitch tents in markets to request people to be tested for these diseases. We keep talking of medical camps. Once you go to a village, out of 100 people, five are diagnosed with cancer and from there things are left until those people go to their graves because the Government does nothing. It is high time we invested in the insurance of our people through the Government. When somebody is affected by these chronic diseases, the Government should ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: We need community health workers and programmes where people can be educated on the need to get this testing. Some people are ignorant. They say: “I am healthy. I have no problem. I do not see why I should go and get tested.” We need counsellors in our communities. We can even have our chiefs trained so that when they go to their barazas, they have a way of selling the idea to the people to get tested so that once the disease is discovered, we save many. view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: We are talking about putting up schools and other facilities around us but sometimes we ignore the construction of health facilities near the people. You find that some diseases can only be tested at Level 5 hospitals or here in Nairobi, but we need facilities in Turkana, down in the northern area, in Lokichoggio and anywhere in this country so that one can walk to a facility and get tested. With this, we can save a lot in terms of loss of human life and loss of property hence improve our economy. I do not see why one can insure ... view
• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to ask Question No.093/2019 to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and urban Development: view
