• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, so, I would like to support this Motion. Let the Government implement it and build dams within our arid and semi arid areas so that our people can get employment. For example, during the dry season we find that we import food. It is really pitiful for such a country like Kenya to import food when we have the resources. We have land and water but we do not know how to use them. A Member said here that Israel is a desert; it is true. I have gone there. They do not have rain but ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, so, I would like to urge the Members to support this Motion and at the same time urge the Government to implement it. There is no need for us to pass this Motion here in Parliament and it is not implemented. If that is so, we will have wasted our time. So, we urge the Ministry concerned to make sure that this Motion is implemented so that our people will really work hard to get their food. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: So, with that, I support the Motion and hope everybody will do so. Thank you very much. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, Sir. This is the first time I have caught your eyes. I beg to support the Bill because there is tea industry where I come from and, it has so many issues. If it were to be merged with coffee, sugar, or sisal, as some hon. Members have said, I do not think the small-scale farmers would get the best service. Hon. Speaker, so those who passed the Bill during the last Parliament did not think broadly about changes that are taking place in this country, for example, devolution. Our Government is now devolving into counties ... view

• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, many people in this country die of cancer and renal diseases because they cannot afford treatment for those diseases. My family is a victim of one of those diseases and, therefore, I strongly support this Motion to facilitate early diagnosis of those diseases, so that treatment can start at the early stages. view
• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: The Ministry of Health is trying to help women, especially in respect of cervical cancer by encouraging early diagnosis, so that the disease can be treated at its early stages. However, the programme does not cover the whole country. We need to understand that not everybody has been screened. One has to be screened for all types of cancer. We cannot deal with only one type of cancer, namely, cervical cancer for women and leave out other types like throat cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, brain cancer, among other types of cancer. view
• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Therefore, I would like the Ministry concerned to make sure that every year, they set aside some money for dialysis machines and cancer equipment. The machines should then be taken to the county-level medical facilities so that patients can access services at various centres. view
• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is a pity that 50 years after Independence, we have only four specialists in Kenya, when the Ministry of Health trains medical personnel every The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: year. Where are the specialists being trained by the Ministry going? There is so much brain-drain of specialists from Kenya to other countries because our Government underpays them. The Jubilee Government has pledged to improve health services in this country. Therefore, alongside this line, the Government should ensure that the welfare of doctors and nurses is catered for adequately, so that we do not continue to have brain- drain of our professionals to other countries. view
