• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: As far as we know, the officers in Kapsabet are serving three districts. It is unfortunate that those from Nandi North, a place I know so well--- I know the distance and also the population involved. If they have not being served, then we will make special arrangements for them to be attended to. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thought I was clear the other time. The directive by both Ministries was that candidates be registered while awaiting the issuance of the certificates; the directives deadline is today. It is true that we have in some districts certificates that have not been collected to the tune of 300,000.

So, when I use them interchangeably, I should be understood. This is so because even traditional medicine is from herbs, but there is a belief somehow at the back of our minds that, perhaps, herbal medicine is close to modern medicine, whichever the case. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, many communities that I have been to use traditional or herbal medicine. They are many because during my past career, I worked in seven provinces out of the eight, and I stayed long enough to know the practices of the resident communities. The majority of them use traditional medicine and they have been very effective.

• 5 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to record my appreciation and thanks for the Presidential Address to this House. There are very many issues that are very pertinent to our times that His Excellency the President mentioned.
