• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this amendment was informed by the fact that, in the past, we have seen a lot of misbehaviour with public funds. If we give them an open cheque that they invest in all these areas we are talking about, then we shall be opening NHIF to a lot of mischief whereby the board would invest money in places where there are no returns. You all remember the Euro Bank saga where Kenyatta National Hospital invested Kshs250 million. There is a law also that government institutions can keep their surplus funds. For NHIF, they require that money ... view

• 24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to the President’s Address to the nation. I think this is the second time I am commenting on the President’s Address since we elected His Excellency the President Uhuru Kenyatta. First, he said that the state of the nation is strong. If Mr. President lives in this country, then he is misled. The state of this nation is not strong.

• 24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Amolo Odinga, the former prime minister that brought a semblance of peace to the country. But the problems that caused our division are still there. They are simmering under. The feelings of alienation; the feelings of exclusion; the feelings of disenfranchisement are still there, especially if you sack a CS from Kakamega and replace him with one from Siaya. What inclusivity is that? So, the state of the nation is not strong. It is weak and if we talk about bringing people together, then let us move and bring those people together. But it must be in a structured manner. ... view
• 24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: When you talk of health care, when I studied medicine, both at undergraduate and postgraduate level, nobody paid any bills at Kenyatta National Hospital except foreigners. It is only foreigners who paid bills. That was universal healthcare. You do not need conferences or experts. Just go back to what we were doing in this country and healthcare will be free. Mr. President, the state of the nation is not strong. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have been sitting here from yesterday and wondering what the House is up to. Are we gagging ourselves deliberately? Remember as you make your bed, so shall you lie on it. So, we should not be gagging ourselves. Like yesterday, we ended up not debating Hon. Washiali’s Motion on Adjournment because we anticipated today’s Motion. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Yesterday, we just threw a few words here and there and could not debate since we anticipated it would be the content in today’s Motion. After getting to the Motion today, we cannot get on with it. Earlier on, we failed to get on with the PAC Report. In fact, we put the Speaker in a very difficult position because he ruled previously that if anybody sees anything unconstitutional in anything, it should come out in debate. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Today, we have made the Speaker to take time and bring out a considered ruling. So, are we gagging ourselves? If we are, what are the reasons? That is why I concur with Hon. Bunyasi. What are we scared of? Is there something scaring us that we can now gag ourselves and end up not debating these matters? If something is against our beliefs, do we throw it out or amend it? We know that one of the best ways to deal with corruption is to pre-empt it. view
