• 10 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is in relation to emergency care and treatment for it. Several Members have taken it that when we say that we must pay, we are saying that patients must pay before they get emergency care. What is proposed in the Bill and what we would want to say is that we must have a social health insurance that ensures universal access to treatment. It is through social health insurance and public funding that we will arrange for payment or compensation for emergency care, but not by the patient. The Committee believes that it ... view

• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support this amendment because the community should benefit. However, there is also a very important matter. In issues like mining and such industries, sometimes, you find that some of the processes may actually be harmful to the members of the community. If the members of the community are represented, they are more likely to sound a red alert. If there are no community representatives, people may take time and even try to hide. I, therefore, support. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Establishment of a Drought Management Authority is an important thing for this country. Drought is a reality and with the climate changes, we expect it to spread. Therefore, the desire to have this and to have it quickly is important. However, there are two issues at hand. One, this Bill should be passed quickly and secondly, the amendment in Clause 4 is whether we should have offices in every county. What we need to look at is this: If we want to establish those offices and the Authority and we say at the outset ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: of Kenya and I have not seen anything that can been done without some form of consultation between the national and the county government. If you take education, for example, where you say early childhood education is a county function while the rest is a national function, it becomes clear that when you are planning early childhood education, you must link it with what is happening in primary schools. To that extent and realizing that everything that is done needs some consultation, I support Clause 8. But Clause 4 needs to be looked at so that we leave room for ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, on Clause 34 on that day, I said that the operational words were “false” and I do not wish to withdraw that. The Press must be given the right to say anything that is happening but it should be true. If it is false, I still will stand with the position that in that case we really do not need to actually delete this clause. Clause 34(a) says:- “publishes any false or scandalous libel on Parliament, its committees or its proceedings”. The only thing I may want to amend there--- view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is so important for this country and that those who think differently, even in minute detail, should also be heard because the majority will have their way but the minority should have their say. Therefore, I would have proposed a further amendment in sub-clause (a) which would say: “false and scandalous” because if we use the word “or” then it may mean that it can stand on its own. view
