• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me proceed. It is very important for the President to be respected. THAT, there is minimal sensitisation about the disease as opposed to comparable diseases like cancer, diabetes and HIV/AIDS that claim nearly similar number of lives as sickle cell anaemia does; THAT, there is no national registry or tracking system in place for this condition to determine the annual infants deaths caused by the condition or the number of people living with the condition; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: THAT, aware that there are many talents amongst the youth of this country; having noted that these talents have been severally displayed through various inventions and innovations by the youth in platforms such as the Science Congress and the Annual Youth Innovation Week; concerned, that most of these discoveries do not go beyond making sensational newspaper and electronic media stories; noting that most of these innovations are aimed at addressing the problems that afflict us as Kenyans on a daily basis; further concerned that there is inadequate enabling legislation and administrative measures to support these innovations; cognisant of the fact ... view

• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon.
