• 1 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: should be located. In this case, in the Committee Stage, I will be moving that we cross out the location of this institute in Kerio Valley because I think it is wrong. view
• 1 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my good friend was on the Chair and he gave me an opportunity to speak. I did not expect him to interrupt me after he graciously gave me permission to contribute. I never, at any one moment, suggested that Kerio Valley was not part of Kenya. I never at any moment criticized my friend, hon. Kaino. I said that in principle, as legislators, we create institutions without tying the Government as to where the institutions should be based. In this case, the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation knows best where malaria is prevalent, where ... view
• 1 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: kiosks instead of making sure that the sufficient doses are available in health centres? Therefore, while we decry the prevalence of malaria in our country, we must also blame ourselves for certain acts. Another act is by the population itself. The Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources will bear me witness that our people have become very careless. They cut trees and do not clear bushes. These are some of the problems which are man-made and which can be avoided. This institute will research and do everything possible to guide the country on the type of drugs that should be ... view
• 1 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already said that because of malaria, our tourism suffers. I have also said that because of malaria, we lose a lot of lives. It is also very degrading when you enter an aircraft, say, in Europe, en-route to Africa, and you are told: “Close your noses, because this aircraft is going to Kenya and we must spray it.” You all start sneezing as they spray the aircraft. When an aircraft leaves Kenya for Europe, we do not have any spraying. Do you not feel bad when an aircraft coming to your country must ... view
• 1 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also have issues with Part IV of the Bill, because I do not think it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation to dig canals, trenches and drainages in order to chase away malaria. It is the responsibility of the Ministry to ensure that people do so, but Part IV gives the impression that the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation will be responsible, in some cases, to dig drainages. However, these are areas we can streamline during the Committee Stage. Otherwise, this is a good Bill, subject to the ... view
• 1 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I start by congratulating my good friend Eng. Maina for this timely Bill. I also want to congratulate hon. Members for passing it. It has stalled for quite a while and the fact that today we have passed it, I think we should all congratulate ourselves. The idea of removing price controls was noble and good. However, experience has shown that whatever we intended to do to create free economy has not worked. We have managed to create billionaires at the expense of ordinary Kenyans. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to join my ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I want to say that I have a lot of respect for the Committees of this House and moreso, this particular Committee knowing the calibre of hon. Members of this Committee, headed by my very good friend, Mr. Were. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, I have problems, like hon. Mbadi, in supporting the recommendations of this Committee. I say so because I am on record as a man who does not favour any side in as far as these things are concerned. If there was a case, ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Committee has said that it suspects that the markings were skewed in favour of one candidate, but this man called Mr. Gichuki – and I want to declare here that I do not know him – scored 91 per cent. That is the only mistake he made, because the one following him scored 61 per cent. Are we going to penalize Mr. Gichuki because he outsmarted all the other candidates and got 91 per cent? I do not think so. It appears to me, without going very far, that the Board went even beyond ... view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. I also want to associate myself to the sentiments expressed by my colleagues in supporting this Bill. This Bill ought to have been enacted a long time ago. This country has experienced problems in crime. Even if one thinks that the crime is not organized, I want to believe that a lot of crime that is being committed in this country is organized. The robberies that we see in this country are organized. Recently, we have been witnessing people robbing security firms ... view
