• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to support this amendment. The four persons being introduced, though they will be appointed through a competitive process by the CS, have knowledge in different areas, including management, law and civil aviation. Civil aviation is a very important field. You know what has been happening to Kenya Airways (KQ). The management of civil aviation should be commercialised so that we can begin flying to America, among other places, without intermediaries. Our team had to fly through Luanda to go to Rio. I support. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to comment on the Petition by the Member for Wajir East in relation to issuance of national identity cards. There has been an issue in the constituencies which touch on the borders. Generally, the issuance of IDs in the country has been a challenge. This has a bearing on the voting rights of people who attain the age of 18 years. I urge the Committee that while conducting investigations on this Petition, they should find a formula so that all Kenyans who are 18 years old and above access IDs. On the Nyumba Kumi Initiative, ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important Bill moved by Hon. Stephen Mutinda Mule. I support it. view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I would like to support this Bill for the reason that Biomedical Engineering is a very important section of medical engineering in the country, but has been ignored for a long time. In fact, it is one of the specialties of Hon. Mule, which he is highly trained in. When you visit many of our hospitals, you will find very advanced electronic equipment. The hospital beds are specifically engineered for specific purposes for a sick person. The equipment being used nowadays is improved to fit into modern technology. view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Applied Science is composed of Mechanical Engineering, Electronic Engineering and Electronics and it is used in analyzing the state of a patient. There is also Chemical Engineering and Computer Engineering. Nowadays, computers are used to find out how a patient can be treated and even prescribe medicine. Cancer patients undergo chemotherapy and there is a lot of Chemical Engineering being used. Disciplines like Physical Science, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics are being put to use. However, these engineers are not properly regulated in the country like other disciplines like the Law Society of Kenya (LSK). We have also regulated engineering under the ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: educated, so that they can help this country especially in the health sector. Biomedical Engineering is also applied in other jurisdictions of the world such as India, UK and America. Therefore, it is high time we took interest in this profession and ensured that it is properly regulated. Despite the fact that a board has been proposed to be created, the mood of the country is to avoid creation of more boards. Indeed, this is a specific board. It is able to generate finances so that it takes care of its own functioning. It is very useful. I believe this ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I support and urge other Members to do the same. view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I have already contributed to this Bill, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Bill for a simple reason. First and foremost, a country which does not know its past may not know its future. World over we have founders of nations like Hon. Muthomi Njuki has quoted, the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. I had an opportunity to visit there when I went for the 2008 Olympics. For every tourist who goes to China this is one of the tourist attractions the locals will show you. It contains serious history of the Republic of China and one is able to know something about ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The founding father of this nation is serious history of this country. If you look at the current status of the mausoleum, you will find that it is visited for commemoration once a year by the First Family and a few others. As a matter of fact, I have never been there and yet it is in the precincts of Parliament. It is not only that we have got artifacts of the founding father within Parliament but we also have others at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) and all over the nation. For one to become a lawyer, one ... view
