• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. In substance, the amendment proposed by Prof. Nyikal is in order. Can the House imagine an 18 year old girl giving informed consent for this process? Because I know that the Mover can further amend this clause, in as much as it is late, I recommend that we increase this age limit to 25 years and above.

• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, permit me to allay the fears of the Member for Turkana. The amendment by Hon.

• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we need to choose one phrase to use in place of “in vitro fertilisation”. I thought that the understanding was that “in vitro fertilisation” is an assisted reproduction process. If we agreed to that then it would be a matter of changing the terminology so that we do not use the words “technology services” throughout. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, if we are merely replacing the words “in vitro fertilisation” with the words “assisted reproduction”; I would prefer that we do this consistently. We should not at times be talking about “services” and “technology” at other times. We are just substituting words “in-vitro” with a simpler phrase that can be understood by the ordinary citizen. view
