• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute. I want to thank the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. I urge this House to adopt this report about WTO, so that we can ratify it. I also want to make a point that even the National Assembly should be given a role to play in negotiating those trade pacts instead of only ratifying them. There are benefits that will be derived from this agreement because global merchandise expos are estimated to increase between USD750 million to USD1 trillion per annum. Exports from developing ... view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: are living in a time where most of the trade barriers have been removed in many trading blocs. Free movement of merchandise and goods has helped many countries to develop their economies. It is high time we ratified this and adopted this Sessional Paper so that countries will take advantage of that. We know that when there is delay at the border points - which this ratification will ease - it encourages corruption. This is because when goods cannot move across borders easily, that is when people device ways to do corruption. Therefore, this trade facilitation will bring more benefits. ... view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I am here, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important landmark Bill, which I support. I want to take very little time because we have two other very important Bills. This Bill is timely. The only input that I wanted to add is that health was devolved to the county governments. As my colleagues have said, there is a lot of suffering in most counties. I have discussed this with very many Members of the National Assembly. Most of the CDF funded dispensaries have no staff, leave along medicines. They are complete, but the ... view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: cheated through good language and they get treatment from these herbalists, who I doubt are licensed. As a result, Kenyans suffer poor health. This Bill should have addressed this because in every vernacular radio station, we hear people talking about herbal medicine. They say that they treat all diseases. They say that there is no disease that they cannot cure. I believe this is a lie because research shows that there are some diseases which have no cure. Clause 11 codifies the right to confidentiality. Every patient deserves confidentiality, so that it is not office gossip whenever they go to ... view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Bill. I support it. I thank the Constituencies Development Fund Committee for inviting me to a forum to try to sort out the High Court ruling. I take the earliest opportunity to thank the Chairman, Hon. Moses Lessonet and the able Committee Members for coming up with a very good Bill that will largely try to streamline the CDF, so that it conforms to the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. This Bill is very timely. As my colleague from Narok has said, it is ... view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Today, even areas that are represented by Opposition Members have something to show. There are projects under the CDF. There are chiefs’ offices, police lines, schools and feeder roads are being graded at very low cost. There are schools and dormitories in areas where they never used to be. This is very good. The CDF has brought about equity in constituencies that had been marginalized, whether by the national Government or the county government. Education gets the lion share of the CDF money either through bursaries or building of classrooms, which cost very little. Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) classrooms ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I do not know if someone stole my card. Thank you for giving me this chance to contribute on this very important Motion and also thank you for that caution because we are discussing a Motion that touches on somebody’s health and who is not here to talk about themselves. So, that caution is very important. I reject this Report in totality because this officer has served, he is unwell but he is recovering. I just want to ask our Committee to put themselves in his shoes. If you are old, sick but recovering, is this ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: University of Nairobi, or the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the KNEC, plus the other old cases. This is a trend I have observed. view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker, for your wisdom and that piece of advice. I have picked the word “compassion” from you. I will not dwell on other issues. I would not like to politicise this matter. However, I am appealing to the Committee, under the leadership of Hon. Asman Kamama, who is a very balanced Chairperson, to look for a soft landing for this officer who has served well. He could be given his gratuity so that he goes home with honour. Anybody can fall sick. No one has control over illness. I urge the Committee to look at the issue ... view
