• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I did not see my county here but I can assure this House that health care, especially in my country of Migori is wanting. Talking to people, they still have not felt the devolved services of health care.

• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: When you look at the health facilities in most of our counties, pharmacies are still empty, they have no drugs and yet we are pumping a lot of money to the counties.

• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you are also aware that I had an accident.

Our counties should have doctors who are well equipped and are specialized in spinal injury, cancer, chemotherapy and all these things. This Motion is in good faith for this county and this Bill is going to come out at the most critical time when we are waiting to see how we can transfer functions slowly to our counties. view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: We are not killing the spirit of devolution. I have been on the forefront advocating for devolution, but we do not want to give functions to counties. We do not want to give them food so that they eat more than they can swallow. We want to move strategically so that we empower our people and they are able to benefit from the services that are being provided. For these reasons, I beg to support this Motion as amended. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to say that I support the Bill; the Bill is in good faith. For a long time, we find that our education levels have not been regulated. We have so many graduates in this country who have masters and PhD degrees, but who are tarmaking on the roads. You find another person with no qualification at all, having so much in terms of employment and accessing a lot of benefits that come with employment. I really feel that institutions should be regulated and told the minimum qualifications that are required for ... view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we should have a body that really regulates and has a mandate to say that certain qualifications go with certain jobs. Otherwise, we will water down requirements for employment and education. Going forward we should ensure that our education system is in order.
