• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I was with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Kenya Airways and he has a message for Members of Parliament. Hon. Deputy Speaker, 19 planes have been grounded. They have no problem but they are saying that Ethiopian Airlines which flies to West Africa comes to Kenya. So, the Departmental Committee on Health or the Ministry of Health should look into that. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, other airlines. Secondly, there is a request from the CEO of Kenya Airways that we do not make a lot of noise about this disease. We have made a lot of noise that even people from Asia and Europe have cancelled their flights to Kenya. It is like we, Members of Parliament, are showing that there is Ebola in Kenya. So, as a member of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade I am requesting the Members not to show that Ebola is in Kenya. Kenya Airways has this message; there are some neighbouring airlines which are flying ... view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: No, hon. Deputy Speaker. I was in a meeting with the CEO of Kenya Airways yesterday and he said that other airlines are landing from West Africa. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The humble appeal from Kenya Airways is that; let us not scare away tourists. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker! view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I appreciate what the Committee is doing. Firstly, I would request them to go to the Ministry of Health and have it announced that Kenya is Ebola-free because we are losing customers. Secondly, if Kenya Airways stops flights to West Africa, flights of Air Tanzania, Air Rwanda and Ethiopian Airline still operating from West Africa should not come to Kenya until the problem is fully addressed. view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you Deputy Speaker. Since Kenya Airways has its base in my constituency or in hon. Omondi’s area, I think the Health Committee should try to call Kenya Airways to defend itself. It is not fair for Parliament to do that. Airlines have loans and we are going to lose passengers. 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
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I am just saying that because you will kill a parastatal. I am giving my view. We should call this parastatal and hear what measures they have taken. The biggest disease we have in this country is to end terrorist. Can we do something about them? The small thing about Ebola is that you are just penalizing Kenya Airways, and that is not fair; call them to appear before a committee. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, I think we were contributing on the Health Report. It was in regard to the Global Fund. If our country can borrow a policy like Tanzania then we can create more jobs. The Global Fund which comes here should have a policy that mosquito nets should be stitched here locally so that we create jobs. I support what the Health Committee has been doing. We should tap into the Global Fund. I support this Report. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. First of all, I am glad that the Departmental Committee on Health has been sitting for eight months to come up with this Motion. I thank the Chairperson because I know what she has gone through. view
