• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: We passed this Bill. Hon. Wamunyinyi is my friend and I will support his other proposals. Why the Committee decided so was simple. We are putting two things together. We are putting a regulatory authority and a society together. The Committee’s position was that societies are registered under the Societies Act. This is another Act. Basically, that is why the Committee decided we should split them. So, I oppose this. view
• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am not sure the House is quite clear. Hon. Wamunyinyi is quite clear. I still appeal to him and we can even look at this later. We are creating a regulatory authority and a society at the same time. It is like having the Kenya Medical Association (KMA) and Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board in one. I do not know how that will work. That is something we have to think about as we go along. We have two bodies - a regulatory authority and a society at the same time. The regulatory authority ... view
• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: You know since I became a politician, I have learnt not to be emotional sometimes. We are fighting a war that does not exist.

• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I seek further clarification as to what this exactly means. view
• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: To me, there is a clear difference when you say “has a degree in medicine or dentistry” as opposed to saying “a medical practitioner of good standing”. That is what you are putting in. Read it, please. view
• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I support this as I congratulate Hon. Oluoch. I remember a case when we put somebody through a disciplinary process and the hospitals declined to give the records and they said they are not under the jurisdiction of the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board. This is a good amendment, I support it. view

• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You are right. It is about crocodiles and hippos. Along the lake, children and cattle are dying. People cannot do horticulture along the lake because of hippos. Hon. Speaker, why I rise is that we passed the Wildlife Act here. Last year, there were two petitions relating to this matter and they were all stating that no compensation had been effected. This year, this is the second petition with a similar cry. As Hon. (Dr) Pukose has said, if the compensation levels are too high and money is not available, the Ministry concerned should come to ... view
