• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Medical Services:- (a) whether he could confirm that over 50 trained nurses left the country between February and April, 2008, via South Africa for jobs in Lesotho; and, (b) what steps he will take to rescue the nurses who are now employed in low paying jobs in the remotest parts of Lesotho and in poor working conditions. view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, now that the Ministry of Roads is aware that one of the major means of transport in western Kenya is by boda boda riders, when are we going to design that road so that we have a section that boda boda riders can use instead of increasing the number of accidents that are happening on that road? view

• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, going by the Assistant Minister's answer, he is admitting that the nurses are actually living in deplorable working conditions. Could the Assistant Minister inform the House whether these nurses were informed of their terms and conditions of service before they were dispatched to Lesotho? Secondly, if indeed they were informed, could he table the terms and conditions that the nurses were employed under what was the role of the Clinton Foundation in employing these nurses? view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I commend the Ministry for going out of their way to secure jobs abroad for Kenyan nurses. That is a very commendable thing that they are doing. However, in this case, they have ended up in a country that probably has no respect for gender, as Kenya does. So, they might be taken advantage of. When is the Assistant Minister going to give us the report that he has promised? view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is very sad to hear the answer by the Minister. We are living in the past. We are trying to detect cervical cancer when it is already there and cutting the cervixes of women. That is outdated. Right now, there is a vaccine against papilloma virus. That is the way to go. Cervical cancer is a problem for women all over this country. When is the Minister going to avail that vaccine for all the women in this country? view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that devolution has been implemented successfully through funds such as CDF, roads fund and youth fund; noting that there is no criteria used to determine allocation; which means that constituencies receive equal amounts of money regardless of their peculiarities such as size, population, poverty levels and HIV prevalence; cognizant that continued uniform distribution of funds perpetuates unequal development; this House urges the Government to ensure that distribution of devolved funds presently and in future takes into consideration all factors that may influence the impact of such funds ... view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I respond because of the interest the Motion has generated, I would like to donate three minutes to Mr. Otieno and two minutes to Mr. I.E. Mohamed to also contribute to the Motion before I respond. view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to thank all the contributors to this Motion because if you noticed, even the Front-Bench has supported it. I would like to state that this Motion that I have moved, was actually put across to me by my constituents, especially the youth who kept on telling me that they were getting only Kshs1 million and yet they are so many whereas in the neighbouring constituencies, more youths are benefiting while they are not benefiting. This really touched me. I realised that this inequitable distribution is actually countrywide and across very many ... view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the hon. Member is misleading this House by saying that the most powerful president Bush cannot control oil prices. It is a fact that they are nationalising everything in America now because of the economic meltdown. What he is saying is not true. view
