• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was on a point of order. I wanted to save Hon. Amina from the wrath of Hon. Wamunyinyi but my intervention has been overtaken by events. Hon. Amina is a lady. She does not deserve that kind of highhandedness from Hon. Wamunyinyi. Thank you.

• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what you are asking my party Chair is something very important to many Members of Parliament. As you know, it is only yesterday that a section of Members of my party, the ODM crossed the Floor. I am tempted to imagine the scenario which is now a big issue in Jubilee if you try to just pass a law. If you followed the contribution by Hon. ole Kenta, you will throw this House into a serious problem and basically the nation because it is not just this House which is affected. There are 47 counties including ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I do not think it should be by way of communication from the party. That information needs to be picked from the media and everywhere. The point I am trying to make is that, we need to take our time on some issues which are in law to get rid of them because they are restricting the way human beings behave. They are against the norms of the society. Those are the issues which you are asking. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I was telling Hon. (Eng.) Mahamud off the record that English is a Luo and Luhya affair. I eat my words. Clause 43 of the Bill says: “there shall be established a regulatory body by an Act of Parliament to regulate the practice of African traditional medicine.” It is not referring to the body we had established. It is now specific to the African traditional medicine. This has to be deleted. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Clause 43(1) has to go. view

• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I rise to support this with further amendment. I like the suggested amendments but I want us to make it clearer and specific. I would like to further amend Clause 54(c), which says “developing policies and strategies that ensure realisation of universal health coverage.” My amendment will be “including affordable healthcare and ensuring that the cost of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical supplies correspond to prices set by Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) and market forces.” view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: My understanding of the further amendment made by the Chair is that it is a new subclause which was originally Hon. Nyikal’s but the Chair has improved it. Let me convince my colleague, (Dr.) Shaban that it brings insurance to the last expense, which is not what we had said in (c). It enriches it so that we deal with this thing of who pays the last expense. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to inform Hon. Kaluma that I am not dying soon. They should not be worried about where to bury me. There has been a practice lately where I come from, where because of social issues, there has been a few cases where bodies have disappeared when we are looking for them, especially when the wife thinks that there are other co-wives. There are also other communities in this society which believe that if you are buried somewhere, then you are grabbing land. We want to allow Hon. Nyikal to recommit but he must ... view
