• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon.

• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, one week is okay. But, Kamama, are you sure it will be one week? You know I sought another Statement but it has not been responded to! view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Chairlady. I also wish to oppose Vote D146 because I also sit in the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. We have visited some of these areas and we do not see the need of starting new projects that are being put in this Budget, yet there are white elephant projects. We visited some of these areas and some of these dams are white elephant projects. Therefore, we oppose Vote D146. I think it is not the right thing to do. Kenyans are losing millions of shillings in some of these dams. Therefore, we better finish this project ... view

• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: For health functions, as we know health is very important and it is not something that should be tossed back and forth between counties and national Government.

This is a very serious matter. Right now you say we must return this thing, we will be back to square one. What are we going to debate? Taking back health functions which have already been taken up and the county governments are already working and doing well is not right. Remember we are already in the second year and if we talk about a three year phased programme, we are in the second ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: On why the Global Fund money for TB and HIV/AIDS is being given to NGOs like Care International and AMREF, it is because our Ministry at the headquarters is corrupt. That is the reason. It is not because the health functions were devolved. I can give you examples. In my county, when the county government took up the health function, it did an audit of the health staff and what they found out is very shocking. They found out that 30 per cent of the health staff that was in the payroll for that particular county were all ghost workers. ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I have read it. The only substantive thing is recommendation No.2 which says it should be done in phases. view
