• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for noticing that I have not contributed on the Floor. I want to start by outright supporting this Vote. If we have to realize Vision 2030, this is one of the key Ministries that must be supported. It must be anchored to the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Agriculture as one of my colleagues has mentioned. It must also be anchored to the Ministry of Water and Irrigation and the Ministry of Livestock. At the end of the day, without good health, we cannot create wealth. I think it is very ... view

• 21 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion reluctantly. If you look at the scenario in Kenya, you will find that when NARC came into power it provided free primary and secondary education. Basically, that was done because of children from poor families. At the moment, there is massive enrolment in our day secondary schools. These are students who had scored very high marks and were admitted to provincial schools, but their parents opted that they join day schools. The simple reason for that was that they could not afford school fees charged by the boarding ... view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the explanation given by the Assistant Minister, it sounds as if there is a cover-up. Could he explain how a tree meant for burning charcoal can be cut using a panga ? Were there any other items he was using which could have been used as evidence or this is just a cover-up to prove that the police were innocent? view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Bill. It is a very timely Bill. I would like to say from the outset that a mosquito is an animal. It is as bad as an elephant. We may underrate it but, if we do not take a mosquito as an animal, then we are doomed. We will get ourselves into a lot of mess. This Bill is a good one. More often than not, we always imagine that if we lump it with other Bills that touch on public health institutions, it will be taken care of ... view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is true that Kerio Valley, Western and Nyanza may be more prone to malaria but every part of Kenya really requires to be addressed seriously. Even the highlands need to be taken into consideration. I come from Manyatta which is in Embu next to Mt. Kenya and the issue of malaria is a reality. Previously, malaria was not an agenda. These days, malaria is a problem. Yes, the Government is doing a lot but a lot still needs to be done to eradicate malaria so that nobody is grounded because of malaria. view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are quite a number of issues related to the Bill and I do not think it is bad. It is only good if the Mover would liaise with the Ministry so that there are no contentious issues. Let us not have conflict of interests where this Bill and the previous one have a problem and it is not addressed adequately early enough because implementation can become a real issue. I am sure this matter will not be taken for granted so that at the end of the day, we deliver to Kenyans. view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if the Mover of the Bill and the Government would agree, it will become very easy for this Bill to sail through, for the President to assent to it and for it to be implemented. view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, I beg to support. view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
