• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I have to revisit this whole question of medical equipment. As a medical doctor, the amount of money that goes to the medical equipment keeps changing and rising all the time. I am in the Departmental Committee on Health and we started off with Kshs3.2 billion and then it rose to Kshs3.8 billion. Lastly, when we were talking, it was Kshs4.2 billion but it is now Kshs4.5billion in this Report. I do not know why these figures keep rising all the time or is this mega corruption that is staring us in the eyes? view

• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, I would like to leave the House and the country with a popular English saying: “What is good for the goose is good for the gander.” For that, I mean that any revenue that goes to the county needs to percolate further down. If the counties are going to insist on 45 per cent, that money once it reaches the county headquarters needs to go further down with the same formula and percentage to the sub-counties and wards. That is what I mean by: “What is good for the goose is good for the gander.” Thank you, Hon. Temporary ... view

• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I support this amendment from my kid brother Chris. It is an amendment that fits very neatly with the Constitution. The tenets that run in every vein of our Constitution include, among others, equity, equality, fairness, diversity and democracy - especially expanding democracy, and freedom of choice and association. We all know the old saying that he who pays the piper calls the tune. I do not want to belabour the point of what many Members have talked about in terms of parties and unfairness during nominations. It has come to ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: biggest question that we have to answer is that of coalitions. I do not want to talk about post- election coalitions because those ones normally come in because of convenience. I am talking about pre-election coalitions where parties have deliberately come together and decided to support one person as a presidential candidate. When it comes down to that particular Political Parties Fund, we need to come up with very clear amendments of how the partners in that coalition are going to benefit from it, especially when it gets to that level of the dominant partner as we have talked about ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me start my contribution at the end, as I pose two questions before I go into other areas. At the outset, I support the Bill. The two questions that I would like to pose - and I can see my good friend, Hon. Kamama, is here - are as follows:- (i) Is it that the Committee that has interrogated the Bill did not want to confront the whole concept of licensing our guards and watchmen to carry guns? As it has been observed - and as we see everywhere – the watchmen are ... view

• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support it. However, we will look at the aspect of how we can bring in the two issues that I have raised. view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. I also want to add my voice on this Motion. First of all, the spirit of the Motion and the intentions of Hon. Abdul are good but the reality on the ground will speak otherwise because healthcare is completely devolved. That is where the problem will come from. Like I said, the spirit is good and the intentions are noble. However, the reality on the ground will dictate otherwise. Let me just point on one, two or three areas that I think will be a problem when it comes to implementation. One area is personnel. I ... view
