• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me thank my colleague and county man for giving me the four minutes and let me assure him that come 2022 - I garner he wants to be the Governor of Kakamega - he will have my support. view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I will pick up from what the gracious lady said as I was walking in. As a medical doctor the biggest mistake that we made in this country was to devolve health to counties. Health is so crucial that it should have been handled in the same way we handle education and security. It should be under the national Government. I will go on record and say that if we shall ever have a referendum in this country, one of the things we are going to push very hard is to make sure that health reverts back to the national ... view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Finally, I laud the Government for having come up with the Universal Healthcare System. I want to congratulate the counties which have rolled out some form of universal health care like Makueni. I want to urge other counties and especially my county Kakamega which is the largest rural county in this country that they are late and need to start the NHIF for the people as soon as possible. In terms of training it will be prudent and equitable for the Government to ensure that every constituency has a medical training college to train our nurses. view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I thank my colleague for giving me time to say one or two words. view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not understand. We are looking at the new clauses and we did not start from the beginning. We need to be educated and know what is going on. So, we should start from the beginning and not from Clause 99I. That can be explained to us by the Leader of the Majority Party, so that we can understand. Otherwise, we should start from the beginning. view
• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I can see where the Mover of this amendment is coming from. In principle I agree with him that we need to move away from monopoly because unless we make it almost mandatory it is going to become very difficult to move away from this monopoly of KPLC. Like we have said in the past, power in this country is extremely expensive compared to our neighbours’. If there is a way we can make sure… view
• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I agree with the spirit of this amendment. The only area that I have a bit of problems with is, unless you can deal with the two amendments to clauses 145 and 147, then there will be a bit of a hitch there. Otherwise, I agree with the spirit of the amendment, so that we have monopoly. And let us make it in mandatory terms so that we do not give discretion of “may” everywhere. I do not know how the Mover is going to deal with the two areas, clauses 145 and 147. Thank you. view
• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Sorry I might be seen to be taking some people back but when you look at these headings. One talks about Energy and Petroleum another one is about Energy Regulatory Authority. Yet you are amending by removing the word “Commission” and putting the word “Authority”. So in the end you are going to end up with Energy Regulating Authority. You have left out “Petroleum”. Maybe the Chair can clarify especially in areas where he is saying remove “Commission” and put “Authority”. view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also take a minute to pass my condolences, those of my family and those of my constituents of Likuyani, to the family and friends of the late Matiba. I have always said and I was telling some people over the weekend just after we got the news that I can think of three people who would have made great presidents in this country. One of them would have been Tom Mboya, the second one would have been J.M. Kariuki and the third one is Hon. Matiba. He was an icon. Everybody has said ... view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: As far as my contribution is concerned, I start by saying that I support this amendment Bill because of several reasons. One of the reasons is that I am one of the people who were extremely excited when we created counties in this country. I thought the counties would do two great things. One of them was that they would look critically at what their natural resources are or what can be exploited in their areas and in the process, create jobs and wealth for the people of those counties. Five years and eight months down the line, that has ... view
