• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Ngara Girls, where projects were started by previous Members of Parliament but up to now, they have not been completed. It is in order to ask for lists of incomplete projects so that the Government can look for ways of allocating resources to them. Normally, new MPs would want to start new projects rather than complete projects that were initiated by previous MPs. At Ngara Girls, we have a social hall that is incomplete while at Uhuru Boys High School, we have a wall that has not been completed because there are interested parties trying to grab the public land. ... view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I support the Report. I believe that there is need for more money. It is good to enhance the allocation to the Fund. The MPs, definitely, have a lot on their plate. How do you decide which school to fund and which one not to fund when all require classrooms, ICT centres and special units for the disabled? There is no money for that. You cannot choose one school against another. There is need for oversight and public participation to ensure that we have money specifically for them. view

• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Planning the following Question: (a) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that Nairobi County has not utilised the funds meant to cover emergencies for affirmative action groups as allocated from the National Government Affirmative Action Fund? (b) Could the Cabinet Secretary state how the funds for the Financial Year 2017/2018 were utilised and measures taken by the ministry to ensure that the funds are equitably shared and prudently spent? view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I want to thank my sister, Hon. Dennitah Ghati, for bringing this Statement to the House. We have been hearing about the BRT System coming into our city. It is important to understand that Kenya ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPWD) thus forming part of the laws in Kenya based on Articles 25 and 26. The BRT planners should use focus groups of users and form advisory committees to review and assess plans to access the BRT systems during the ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Motion to have waivers on morgue charges and charges for patients who die in referral hospitals. We have a problem. It is the Government’s agenda to provide universal health care. We have pilot projects being done in four counties but we have missed the point that Kenyans are poor. Even if we say that we are improving in the poverty index, and that we are now a middle income country, when you go to the ground and look at reality of the lives that Kenyans lead, they ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: combat extremism and pain that leads to extremism and if we want people to have hope, we have to start with the pain point. There is nothing that is more painful than lack of dignity like when a man has to steal his child from a hospital so that he can take her home because he does not have money. We need to investigate some of the problems of the Government. Linda Mama should have taken care of that child. Why did it not? It is because it provides Kshs17,000 which is inadequate. If we want to provide free maternity, ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Today’s newspaper says that our ICU does meet the required standards. It says that the medical services that we have in this country are not good. I can tell you that for a number of the patients in the mortuaries today, I will not be wrong in saying that maybe 50 per cent of them die because they could not access medical care, they could not buy the medicine and they could not buy the blades to do operations after accidents. So, we have a problem as a country. We have to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: be humane. The donors are watching. They have called to request for interviews to ask what is going on. They support our country with so much money for health. Why is it that we have detained patients? Why is it that we have detained bodies? What is the rate of people dying in our hospitals? We need data. We are going to have census but census is one thing. It just shows us how to plan forward. We need daily data of where our people are dying and what they are dying from so as to be able to check ... view
