• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I apologise for not carrying my card. I rise to support the President‟s Speech. Last Thursday, I thought that the President set good precedent for our new Constitution. I thank him for the apology and the naming of the people who are being investigated. We must now begin to walk our talk. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The President said some things which his advisers did not guide him on correctly. For example, the issue of health is not a small one anymore. It is one in which there is most corruption in the counties. This House must deal with the issue of health. I want to plead with us to fast-track the Health Bill once the Cabinet brings it. People are dying like chicken in our counties, because the governors only see money. Most of them are not interested in the health of our people. We want to plead with the President not to claim credit ... view

• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Siaya health systems have collapsed. Rats are eating corpses in Siaya Mortuary. That is how bad it is. I do not know who will be my next governor, but I just know that the one sitting there now will not be. I oppose the idea of leasing medical equipment. Why can we not buy equipment to a few specilised hospitals so that our people can access medical care? I want to plead with the Budget and Appropriation Committee to buy medical equipment for the hospitals. The Kshs4.5 billion is a lot of money, which can even ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. We would like to move together, especially regarding your last communication to us. Hon. (Dr.) Shaban has expressed herself on the issue which hon. Speaker even talked about; the issue is leasing versus purchasing. If you look at the Bill page 169, it talks about leasing and purchasing. We want to plead with you to be a bit patient with Members, because of the way we ended the debate; we could come here and the speaker said--- view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Exactly, but the substantive Speaker indicated that we could canvass this issue about leasing versus purchasing during the Third Reading. view

• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: All that we are asking is to be guided properly on how to do the amendment; if you then rule that it cannot come from Members, then we need to be guided. Let me tell you one that affects you directly. This is particular issue in equipment leasing; it is just like the issue in the maintenance fuel levy. If you take Kshs3.3 billion and give it to the governors in a blanket manner, so many constituencies in this country that have been getting this money hitherto will have a high likelihood of missing it; use of it will become ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am talking about two issues. The first one is the leasing of medical equipment. We want it to be purchase of medical equipment and not leasing. view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: The second issue is Fuel Levy Fund on Page 170, which says “Conditional Grant from the Road Maintenance Fuel Levy Fund”. We want it to be conditional, but divided among the constituencies; that is what has been going on for the last couple of decades. view
