• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: It is extremely important because as we know, between 10 and 20 per cent of our people cannot reproduce naturally. So, they need some assistance in one way or another. This Bill gives the legal framework for these people to conceive and be parents without having to go through backdoors or dark alleys. I would also like to congratulate Hon. Nyikal for having come up with extremely useful amendments that have made what was initially a good Bill to be even better. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also stand up to support the nomination of Dr. Muraguri. He is a colleague since 2005. When I was an Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Health, we worked very closely. During that time, we managed to pass the HIV and AIDS Control Act and the Tobacco Control Act. I know we have travelled the journey of the Tobacco Control Act but we have not reached the end. Right now, the biggest problem which the tobacco manufacturers are fighting is the pictorial messages on the packets of cigarettes. I am very sure that with Dr. ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I join my colleagues in supporting these two individuals who have been picked in their respective PS positions. Listening and looking at their CVs and backgrounds, I have no doubt in my mind that they deserve the positions. I just want to add two things that have been touched by some of the speakers before. On the issue of the face of Kenya that keeps resurfacing, we have to reach a point when we must address it seriously. Before I finish that statement, I congratulate and thank the President for having picked somebody from my constituency ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I said the gods must have been kind to us. Still the issue of the face of Kenya is not cured by those two positions. Looking at all these, the positions of the PSs, I can see that 15 of these positions by just looking at their names come from two communities in this country. I think that is unacceptable but otherwise I would like to thank you for giving me the chance to speak. view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also stand to oppose the amendment for the very simple reason that Hon. Wesley is trying to premise his amendment on the fact that the system will be hacked into. When we sit here, we cannot work with the understanding that any system we put up is going to be hacked into. We have to work with the understanding that our systems are fool-proof, should be fool-proof and must be fool-proof. If that is the case then, I would say that there is absolutely no need. We should track all guns. Every time a ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: If we say that we will only track those guns after a crime has been committed then, as we say in the medical profession, we will be looking at a post-mortem problem. We want to deal with this issue before it happens or during the time it is happening. Systems should be fool-proof. If they are fool-proof, then we do not need to worry that anybody is going to hack into them. We should know where all guns are at any given time, whether they are licensed or given to the police or our security officers. view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Everybody needs to be addressed by their proper titles. That is what I was reminding her. I would like to thank my colleague for giving me the opportunity to second this Motion. It is important for us to manage emergencies properly. Why do we want a separate curriculum for this? In medicine, we have several departments. In each of this, you will get one form of emergency or another. If I may just quote one or two areas, in the field of Orthopaedics, they deal mainly with accidents. We have talked about accidents and ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I said six years. view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. This kind of medical personnel that we are looking at is somebody who can handle emergencies that will arise in all these fields. We now have emerging concerns in this country of heart attacks because of the problems of obesity and poor diet. We are eating junk food and we have problems of diabetes. You will even find young people developing heart attacks. The kind of medical personnel we are talking about is somebody who can handle an emergency case which cuts across all these fields. That is why they need some specialized curriculum to be able to ... view
