• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to second this Motion on the girl-child education. The Motion has come at a very good time. It should have come a long time ago because the girl-child education is very important for this country. In fact, an educated girl is more likely to raise a healthy and educated family than her un-educated counterpart. Statistics show that a literate woman raises a healthy and well nourished family. An educated mother will take her children to the clinic for immunization and treatment. She will even know how to administer drugs, for instance, three ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to support the Motion because there is a very serious shortage of health staff in this country, and we need to recruit more clinical officers, nurses and lab technicians. In my place, Habaswein District Hospital, which is Level 4 – a sub-district hospital – it is supposed to have, as per the standards of the Ministry of Health, up to 60 nurses. But, currently, it is manned by five members of staff. You can imagine a place that is supposed to have the standard 60 nurses and currently being manned by five nurses ... view

• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also like to mention that the amendment by Hon. arap Sang seems to be very ambitious; 5,000 nurses, 5,000 clinical officers immediately and 3,000 clinical officers annually seems to be on the higher side. We need to be realistic. That is why I thought that figure should be reduced to 3,000 nurses, 3,000 clinical officers now but, at least--- view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I am supporting the Motion but I may go for an amendment. I also wish to mention that wherever those clinical officers and nurses are posted, there is a very big problem because most of them engage in business. They open clinics and small nursing homes and most of them do not serve the district hospitals. Because of that, there is always a shortage. I would also like to mention the issue of rural clinics and hospitals. They do not have enough personnel and drugs. Therefore, I would like to support this Motion and I hope my colleagues will understand ... view

• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is my maiden speech. My names are Abdullahi Mohamed Diriye. I am the MP for Wajir South. First I would like to support this Motion. I would, however, like to support it with caution because some of the punitive measures as suggested in the Motion might not be very practical. We all know of the importance of wildlife and we need to guard that jealously. Sometimes, however, one has the feeling that the protection given to the wildlife makes things appear as if the wildlife is more important than human beings. For ... view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise to support this Motion. This institution needs to have charismatic leaders who will champion its course more than any other time in the history of this Parliament, where we are under siege. For the purpose of continuity and institutional memory, the inclusion of hon. Angwenyi and Keynan is a very good thought by the people who have proposed them. I support the Motion. view
• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion, which is very important to the pastoralists whether they are in North Eastern Province or in Masailand such as Kajiado. Honestly speaking, livestock keeping is more than just eating meat. For most of us, it is our livelihood. view
