• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the proposed amendment by Hon. Nyikal. Hon. Nyikal is a medical officer and having been a Director of Medical Services, he understands it well. Management is holistic whilst treatment is very specific. Management covers prevention and other interventions that will make sure a patient who is suffering from cancer is not affected either financially or physically. It also covers hospice. view

• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to the Jerusalema Challenge. I would like to encourage Members to be with us on Monday, Tuesday and the shooting on Wednesday. I was here today, we danced and I am sure I have lost some weight. I encourage persons living with disabilities to join us. I was dancing with my crutches. I am sure you would have enjoyed the dance, if you were here. I want to encourage you to dance alongside me during the shoot. Since I have practised, I will teach you some important moves. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. I want to take this opportunity to appreciate Hon. Benjamin Mwangi for the timely amendment. It is paramount to note that in order to give room to the youth The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: of this country, those who attain the retirement age of 60, go home. By the time one attains 60 years, one would have worked for 35 years because people would normally be hired at 25 years, right after graduating from university. For those 35 years, you would have been married, constructed a home and saved enough for retirement. It is important to give room to others because there are no special skills that cannot be found anywhere else. People have gone to school and we have too many unemployed graduates. Once you are 60 years and you have those special ... view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Hon. Tong'i is misleading this House. We are not saying that graduate youth will come and take up the positions. He is misleading this House because the Bill creates positions for the youth. They can enter at graduate level, just at the bottom of the pyramid, while those at the top will succeed those who retire. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: He is actually misleading the House by saying that graduates should not take up CEO positions. The Bill does not say that. view

• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Let me start by thanking Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah for coming up with a very progressive idea. This is one of the Members of Parliament we really need in this House because their Bills will solve a lot of issues. It is shameful that 60 years after independence, we cannot respond to minor disasters like car accidents, and drought and floods that can be predicted by the weathermen, let alone those very major disasters that we cannot predict like terrorist attacks. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: I will not dwell so much on what we need to address in the National Disaster Management Authority Bill. I will dwell so much on the issue that affects persons with disabilities. Whenever there is a disaster, the persons with disabilities are most affected in two ways. One, our numbers increase. Those who are maimed and affected by the accidents and disasters become persons with disabilities. They start competing with us for the little resources that the Government allocates to us. As persons with disabilities, we, pray on daily basis, so that we do not have disasters, so that our ... view
