• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: yellow colour. I have been wearing green, which is associated with a village party called FORD- K. Nobody has ever complained. I have been wearing a red suit, associated with my Jubilee Party and nobody complained. I have been wearing a white suit associated with an amorphous political Non-Governmental Organisation called National Super Alliance and nobody complained about that particular dress code. Why are they so much concerned about yellow? You have the yellow strip in your official dress. Just above you, there is the coat of arms which has the yellow colour. We have 70 political parties in this ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: I think his wife did not see very well that he needed orange, now he came with yellow. Welcome to the club. To sum up, you should not be so much excited because of the win of Hon. Njuguna Wanjiku. Hon. T.J. Kajwang’, or CJ bonoko, you can as well take Kariri Njama to Uhuru Park and swear him in. I hear for the first time in the history of this country… I am a Member of the Jubilee Party, the ruling party. Imagine the whole Government and the ruling party going to court claiming that votes were stolen! It ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Lastly, Hon. Speaker, I would like to congratulate you. Yesterday you were in Murang’a attending a burial ceremony. You delivered a condolence message on behalf of the first in command. You know the pecking order. The first in command is Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, the second is Hon. William Ruto and the third is… From all indications, in 2022 the first in command will not be on the ballot box. There will be the second and the third. So, the race will be between two horses, the second and the third. The rest are punda milia . Thank you very much, ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me also start by thanking the Hon. Member for Runyenjes, Hon. Eric Muchangi, for finding it fit to bring this matter before this House. I am also seized of what has been happening in that particular part of Runyenjes Constituency since Sunday. The community, right now, is out there demonstrating. The reason is that the explanations given by the police, as to the circumstances leading to the death of the two young men, are not convincing at all. The last thing that should happen to any Kenyan hoping to be in the best protection is to die ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I want to support Hon. Keter because this is a very important matter. Hon. Speaker, you had asked: why don’t we just do the sum total of how much is required for us to achieve that 100 per cent transition? Indeed, we need to have all students being comfortable in both primary and secondary schools. I think it is this House that allocates funds. As Hon. Osotsi has said, when we have funds from World Bank being stopped, it is because probably the PS and the CS needed kickbacks and they did not get ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Dr. Nyikal had said that we should force state officers from Parliament, Judiciary and the Executive to use public hospitals. Why should we have a health insurance scheme for private hospitals yet we have public hospitals? There is no way we can improve what we do not use. So, I urge Members of this House: if we want to improve the education system in our country, we should lead by example and that is by having all our kids enrolled in public schools from primary all the way to the university. That way, we will be able to channel a ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. (Inaudible ) view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Forgive me, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was just thanking you for giving me this opportunity in my mother tongue of Maasai . I rise to support the Bill. I congratulate the Departmental Committee on Health as well as the Mover, Hon. Wangwe, our Majority Whip, for the National Hospital Insurance Fund (Amendment) Bill, 2021. Kenyan millionaires and even billionaires are one disease away from poverty. You may be rich today, but after an attack of COVID-19 or cancer, whether you die or not, you will leave your family in poverty because of the exorbitant prices charged in our hospitals. ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: The NHIF is the only route to universal healthcare. The provision of machinery and employment of manpower cannot solve issues if the NHIF is not in place and properly regulated. For the sake of the hustler nation, let us make the NHIF contributions in terms of a percentage. In some clauses in the Bill, I have seen that some people will be exempted and others will be paying in terms of income especially the self-employed and those in private sector. In the Committee of the whole House, I will suggest that we make contributions as a percentage of one’s earnings, ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: it is two per cent, this will translate to Kshs16,000, rather than having all of us paying Kshs500 including the person who earns the lowest salary of Kshs7,500. view
