• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I have no comment on the amendment of the Chair but I have a further amendment. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I may want to hear (c) clearly. It is slightly different from the last amendment that the Chair has made on the Floor which took care of my amendment. Sub clause (c), is not that explicit, unless it is improved. I am very particular about the definition of ‘health package’. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The last amendment on the Floor by the Chair takes care of my amendment so I drop it. However, I will look into recommittal of the Clause. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you. I also wish to thank the sponsor of this Bill. Professional health records are extremely important. These are the people who give data on which decisions and policies are made. When we implement this Act, there are two areas that we will look at as it translates to the sector. First, there are many cadres in the sector and so each cadre is seeking regulation under a certain Act. Therefore, at one point, as a House or as a country, we are going to look at a way of harmonising all these so that all the various Acts ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support what Hon. Gumbo has said. It is pointless to have Motions in this House which are not implemented. There are laws with regard to the Motion we are debating that are in place. These laws have timeliness and should have been implemented. Once again, we are coming here to bring a Motion to get them implemented. Going by what has happened, we suspect that this Motion will not be implemented. We need to make a decision in this House and give timeliness that when a Motion has been passed we ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not want to give a problem but I want to support it. Having seen the discussion the House has gone through, I would probably call upon the Mover to amend it on the Floor and put it as “resolves” instead of “urges”. I think we are exactly where we were. Standing Orders allow the Member if she so wishes to say “resolves” Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you explained to us that the need for this amendment is to make it actionable. Further, this Motion has come to the House before and there ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and hon. Wamalwa. I support this Bill because one, it says “resolve”; which means what we pass here can be implemented. It is a fallacy to say that what is passed here cannot be implemented, if it does not go through the Committee on Budget and Appropriations. This House makes rules and decisions, and the Executive looks for the money. Two, I support it because it is possible. In 1979 when I got my first ID card, I went to the officers, my photograph was taken and I got it immediately. It is practical. ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Bill. I rise to support this Bill because this House must protect Kenyans from exploitation by banks. The objective of banking system is to create a savings platform for individuals, banks and the nation, which can be ploughed back into business. Their second objective is to promote business and facilitate growth and development by making The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: savings available to those who want to venture into business so that they can create employment for people. If interest on the savings of the same people is very high that they cannot make any profits, then obviously this does not serve the country. In this country, we are struggling to create employment for the youth. We are trying to help the youth set up small business and banks have a crucial role in making this happen. That can only happen if interest rates are regulated and maintained at a level that entrepreneurs can make some money. If generation of ... view
