• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: That is the personal assistant. view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: But he is in concurrence with that. Obviously, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I cannot come to impersonate myself. I have the full authority to move on behalf of the Member. view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: What happened, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, is that the Member was actually away and he realised that he was not able to make it. So, he gave me a call and sent the PA to bring the letter. This is because he would not have been able to actually sign it. So, if the amendment falls, then it is to the disadvantage of the Member and yet I was ready to execute it on his behalf. view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Supplementary Budget. 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
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Before I proceed, I need to set the record straight on some insinuation that was made by the Member for Marakwet, Kangogo Bowen, to the effect that people with disabilities cannot be nurses. That is something that is rather unfortunate and should not go unchallenged in the previous debate. We have made a lot of progress and you cannot say that the work of a nurse is only to wash people. People with disabilities can do a lot of nursing and it has been proved. There are quite a number of them who have been rightfully admitted as nurses. Looking ... view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Supplementary Estimates also seek to speak to certain on-going projects that are critical. I want to single out Kenyatta University Referral Hospital. It will go a long way in ensuring that we meet the needs of the high population of this country, including Kenyans who would require specialised treatment. Therefore, it is important. With the allocation of these resources, we will ensure that the doors to that great hospital, which has consumed over Kshs8 billion, are opened to serve members of the public. This would, of course, mean that our young people will get opportunity ... view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: These Supplementary Estimates come under the backdrop of the on-going nurses strike. I would like to imagine that with the guidance of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, and the Council of Governors, we are going to ensure that we resolve the issue of the nurses so that they can return to work. The nurses are dancing on the streets while our dear Kenyans suffer. Patients have been turned away or they have been told to check out of hospitals. As a Member of Parliament, I believe that this issue can also be resolved. The idea I have heard the nurses ... view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: The other issue that also arises from these Supplementary Estimates is the fact that you cannot say that you can foresee all the issues that may emerge within a budget cycle. Our budget- making process has been, and has continued to be, dynamic. We need a government that is responsive to the needs of the people, and which is able to ensure that when there is an emergency, you can spend some form of expenditure to ensure that you respond to such need. view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: There are many Government projects that are speaking to the minds and hearts of Kenyans. Supplementary Estimates are not just for the sake of political expediency. When, for example, the Government makes a commitment to provide free secondary education in January next year or in the next fiscal year, some individuals claimed that they would introduce Supplementary Estimates in September. In my opinion, that is being a little bit dishonest because you have to ensure that you have a proper schedule of how you are going to collect revenue by the time you commit yourself. As a former Member of ... view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: It is important to have realistic timelines that would ensure that whatever commitments we make to our people, including students, teachers, and elderly people, can be attained. I commend the Jubilee Government for these timely Supplementary Estimates in response to the needs of Kenyans. view
