• 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will give you an example. Some hospitals do not have diabetes, high blood sugar and high blood pressure testing kits and yet, they are receiving money from the Exchequer. But they do not buy those items. Therefore, as we enhance the collection of taxes, their use should also be seen. We should check how they are used. That is because the inlet may be very good but the way the taxes are used out there, the public do not receive proper services from those who are supposed to offer them. view
• 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will give an example. In the county governments, each Governor is contributing Kshs22 million to a kitty in Nairobi. If we are talking of devolved governments, then why are they collecting money and sending it to Nairobi and saying it is for the Governor’s Council? They should serve us from their devolved places. They should not contribute more money after the taxes have been collected and transfer it to Nairobi. That is the kind of money they are using to hold seminars in all the places to talk about the referendum. I would like to ... view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. When hon. Abongotum was responding to the issue of the two doctors in Meru, he seemed not to have enough information. It is only four days ago that the businessman was picked from his hotel and his son who is a student at the university was murdered by thugs. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: But hon. Abongotum does not seem facilitated enough. If he needs a chopper, the Government should provide it for him to move around and see what is happening. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, he is not facilitated enough. Therefore, he is not able to get information about what is happening in the country. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: He is not, hon. Speaker. view

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I congratulate the Mover of this Bill. It is very timely. It was only the other day when one of senior citizens in this country was denied some service at the airport by one of the airlines. When people read about that, they asked whether the disabled have no room in this country to participate in its affairs and also to do things. The Mover has brought in this Bill at the right time, I support it and further say that county governments should look at the example of the county government of Nairobi; ... view

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: should have spaces for the disabled, so that they get service instead of queuing all the time. They should look at interest rates. If they are disabled, they are not able to work like people who are not disabled. Interest rates should be checked. Even Members of Parliament who are disabled should be given mortgages here at no interest rates. The disabled should be taken care of at all levels. Sign language should be taught from primary school all through. I support this Bill and say that we should be the example. People should learn from here. When the disabled ... view
