• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Colleagues, we have two things happening. People are being killed. Before, they were being killed through the economic processes. Farmers dying, even in the factories they were killing those who were honest. My own brother died in Mumias in 2000 because he was against figures being given of sugarcane crushed which are not crushed. They are now killing people directly by bringing poison. Eventually, we ask this question: If it is true that there is sugar with mercury, we are not seeing any action on the part of public health officers withdrawing sugar from ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: happening if there is poison? Why are we running against cholera if people have mercury and we are keeping quiet? Two, we are saying that we are going to put this through the Committee. Whatever the Committee recommends will be implemented by the Executive. Hon. Duale knows it. In my mind, the President knows. It cannot be that he knows and the President does not know. The National Security Council is chaired by His Excellency the President. He can summon all the people that can take action and instruct them and say: I want this tomorrow. Why has that not ... view
• 14 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is an extremely important Bill on taxes. Therefore, I would seek your guidance whether it is not important. I have looked at this Bill. It is relatively a complex Bill. It is not as simple as it is being put when being moved. Would it be in order, Hon. Speaker, that we actually get the Committee Report on this Bill before we go for full deliberations on it? view

• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support this vote, but what I would like to add is, as you go through the programmes you will see that they have Kshs1.4 billion for development. What I would like to urge is that the fisheries department should take a keen interest in working with the counties to develop fisheries infrastructure because like in my constituency, in Lake Victoria, people are still fishing the old ways and people are moving commercially to aquaculture. That is why we are having a lot of importation of fish coming from other countries, particularly China. We ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this thing started under my watch in 2008-2009. Basically, we observed what was happening in Brazil. Let me say this: The programme for the elderly persons is a good programme but I will just say the problems that need to be solved. Align the administration of this programme with devolution. The offices that deal with this are not aligned. So, this is left to the banks. That needs to be done. That is what is causing the losses. In the same Department, there are orphans and vulnerable children. I would like the Chair of this Committee ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: its offices on the ground. Many are being built but I talk to them, they are not directly linked in the distribution of this money. A lot of this money is actually staying in the banks. The health bit of it, again, was started. What was to be started was the same names to be given to NHIF to issue cards. I do not know why they are still going to the rural areas to register new people. Structural reorganisation of this is of utmost importance for it to succeed. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I suggest that when the amendment is being moved, it is better to use the format that is in the Order Paper and indicate what the increase is, for example, moving from this amount of money to that, an increase of such an amount so that Members are clear where we are. view
