• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: . Ottichilo for coming up with this Motion, and Hon. Millie for having understood and moved the further amendment from Friday to Thursday. As we look at the environment in this country, this Motion is going to help us improve it. view
• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Even as I support the Motion as amended and congratulate the Mover, I would like to add one or two other things. One, as we look at the menace of plastics in this country and littering that happens. I wish Hon. Ottichilo could have added to that one day in a month, as a day we can dedicate to clean the environment and also plant trees. We have always talked about trees and tree coverage in this country. Now that we will have mobilised everybody together on that one day, it would be excellent for us to also include tree ... view
• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Finally, time has come and it is good to have leaders who can make firm decisions like President Kagame of Rwanda. We do not have plastics in Rwanda even at the border of Rwanda. If you have plastics, you leave it wherever you have come from. It does not enter their country. We have talked about this issue of plastics. I remember the days of Prof. Wangari Maathai and it is an issue that is with us. I do not know why we cannot take those bold strong steps to ban plastics in this country. Why is it an issue ... view
• 12 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Before I make my contribution, because we are now talking about sports, it is good to announce to the House that our girls’ team, the Harambee Starlets, has qualified to go and play in the women football. I support this Bill. I will talk on two areas only. One, penalties should go towards the various actors that surround this whole concept of doping. In my view, quite a number of the athletes who are caught up in this trap of doping do it out of their intentions. To me, the people to blame are ... view
• 12 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: those two reasons, I would like to commend our athletes. If this Bill can bring a little bit of sanity and put our athletes on the narrow and straight path, I support it 100 per cent. Thank you. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Thank you for recognising me and my profession. It is very important to have a database for purposes of research. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I support the amendment strongly. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I would like to comment on two areas of this amendment. First, where we are talking about a Level 3 hospital which, in common language is a health centre, the amendment is okay but the Bill says the person in charge is a clinical officer. We are saying “or a medical officer with two years’ experience”. The clinical officer has not been given any experience. I do not know why. I would like to urge the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health to relook at this amendment in terms of re-commital. You cannot give two ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The Bill talks of a health centre and right at the bottom it says that the one in charge is a clinical officer. I would like us to relook at that. The second area that I would like to comment about is the whole concept of Level 6 hospitals. This has been a huge controversial subject, but I like it because every county should have a Level 6 hospital. At the moment, Level 5 hospitals that keep getting grants are all upgraded to Level 6 hospitals, so that they are all under the national Government and a board that runs ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to support Hon. Oner for two reasons. One, the Constitution is very clear like everybody has alluded to. Two, most of the emergencies we deal with are not expensive that we must have a law in place. Just like the Act has said there are times you only need to stabilise a person and refer him to the next hospital. It is not an expensive procedure. We would like to ask private hospitals to provide emergency services as a way of giving back to the community. That is the least we can expect of ... view
