• 8 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill from Hon. Wafula Wamunyinyi. First, I would like to say that Hon. Wafula Wamunyinyi has shown good leadership and that he cares for the backyard that he comes from, which relies on sugar-cane. That also explains, perhaps, why the National Executive Council of FORD-Kenya chose him as their party leader. view
• 8 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Sugar is a very interesting commodity. The history of sugar is very interesting because it… view
• 8 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: I understand his reason for protesting. We will not bring party politics but I understand his reason for protesting. He is allowed. I was just saying that sugar has a very interesting history throughout the world. In fact, sugar was the driver of slave trade. The reason our brothers and sisters were sold by wayward kings and our leaders into slavery... Part of what drove slavery is sugar-cane. They were taken to the Caribbean and South America mainly because of the sugar industry. They were to go and provide cheap labour. It was cotton in the US, but in the ... view

• 8 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Please, I beg the House to pass this Bill as quickly as tonight. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I was going to agree with what the Leader of the Majority Party and Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal said, that the management bit we got there in the earlier clause (c) is dangerous. It should be dropped and then we retain the health systems management from a recognised institution because even the African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) trains people in health systems management not necessarily at degree level. So instead of saying from a university, you say from a recognised institution. That should cover that area. view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I missed that meeting that proposed that otherwise, I would have advised against that because the end user of all these blood products is the patient and the intermediary there is the medical doctor. So, it is important that right from the beginning, this person be involved. Remember when you are talking about blood transfusion, you have to actually donate that blood first and many things can happen. So, this medical director there is purely for the medical purposes of serving the board. I would have advised against it if I had attended that meeting because ... view
