• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also support this amendment because a community health worker is a very local person. So, we are defining the area where he or she works and also the fact that the community must have a lot of trust in that person. I support the amendment. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Before I support the amendment, I would like to join you and the rest of the people who have compared the work that has been done by the NG-CDF with the county governments. Sometimes in my fantasies, I fantasise – for example, Kakamega County which is given approximately Kshs12 billion each year and it has 12 constituencies. Each constituency has been given Kshs1 billion. Looking at the rough figures that go towards many of the things that are done in this country, like tarmacking roads and the low seal volume technique, I think a ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Some of those costs may not be much. It may be Kshs200 or Kshs300 per month, but many people in the rural areas cannot afford it. So, we should put up facilities like springs or wells for our people to use so that we can protect them. If I may digress a bit, I basically agree with what Mheshimiwa Gikaria has proposed, but some of the ideas that can improve the livelihoods of our people are what I want to touch on. Devolution is here to stay. As we go forward, we should think through and see how best we ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also stand to support the Children Bill. I am just going to talk about two or three aspects of it. One is education which is very dear to my heart. Education in this country disadvantages the child. As much as we say that we have free primary and secondary education, in most instances, this is not the case. You will find that even at pre-school level, there is always some payment that parents have to make. When it comes to primary education, there are so many aspects in play and it becomes virtually ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: to the university. As much as that sounds good, this might not be quite the case in boarding facilities. It might not even be possible that education will be free. We have to wait and see. May God give us life so that we see whether this will be implemented. The next thing I would like to talk about is the aspect of adoption. I know adoption is exciting when it comes to international adoption. Everybody is talking about it. I would like to zero in on adoption locally. Adoption of our children locally is quite frustrating to parents who ... view
• 30 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise in solidarity with my colleagues to support this Bill which has been brought by a man who comes from my county. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 30 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: I am a medical doctor and we have our association and own way of how discipline is meted out. Like other professionals, we need to have some form of regulation in terms of education, professional education, practice and discipline, if you go haywire. I support this Bill wholeheartedly. There are certain areas which we need to amend. As we go to the amendments, we will probably put caveats as to how much, how far or the level of discipline some of these insurance companies and professionals have. Just like my colleagues have said, very many people in this country have ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to also say one or two things about the Speech that the President presented here yesterday. To begin with, I would like to join my colleagues in congratulating the President for all that he said. It was rather a long Speech, but it covered most of the areas that are pertinent. Let me start off with what we, as the people of Likuyani, have benefitted from. When he talked about roads, for the very first time in Likuyani we have three roads being tarmacked, namely, the road from Turbo ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: everywhere. As we sit here today, lecturers in the health department at Moi University in Eldoret are on strike. Strikes are everywhere. As much as we say that we have put up infrastructure, we are forgetting that the most important aspect of health is human resource, which needs to be handled centrally. We need a health service commission to handle the issue of human resource in this country. The other areas that the President glossed over is the mounting debt, corruption and the increased cost of living in this country. I would have expected him to spend a little bit ... view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to, first of all, congratulate Hon. Didmus Barasa for coming up with this Bill. Secondly, just like the rest of Members who have contributed, this Bill is imperative, because we know that pension is a right. Pension is not a privilege that the Government or an employer gives to an employee. It is a right that an employee earns because it is a contributory scheme. I am very sure that all employers, be it the Government, know very well when XYZ is going to retire. So, I ... view
