• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to support the Motion. However, I would like to make a few comments. I want to thank hon. Idd for moving the Motion. One fundamental thing that differentiates us from the West and that makes Africa what it is, is our culture and our social orientation. If we pass this Motion the way it is, then what will happen is that you will wait until your parents become old and dump them in a nursing hospital and you go away. view

• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: We have a very old tradition. It may not be institutionalized, but we have a very old tradition of home-based care for the old people. This is the best thing for this country. Let us institutionalize home-based care. Let us not transfer our old people to hospitals to be taken care of. We still want to take care of our uncles and aunts and we will do that if we only induce a little Government support. I would, therefore, implore hon. Idd to consider amending this Motion, so that it captures our aspirations as the people of Kenya. Normally, our ... view

• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not propose to amend the Motion. I just implored upon the Mover to consider amending it. We cannot strive to live a life that looks like a lie. I do not think even our parents will agree to be taken from home to somewhere else. What we call hospitals in this country are not hospitals.

• 14 May 2013 in National Assembly: I am the Member of Parliament for Ugenya. Using the Standing Orders, is the Leader of Majority Party in order to keep taking us round in circles on a simple question? As the Committee, you have recommended that one Ms. Kandie be rejected.

• 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this very important Bill. To me, this is the most important Bill in this House this year. It is because this Bill will determine whether our county governments will start and run or they will become “kaput”. This Bill will basically lay the foundation for the much sought after devolution. That is why we must ensure that it sets a good basis for devolution. I am appalled by the fact that we have a Bill before us that purports to divide revenue between the national Government and the county governments and ... view
