• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: As it is, I do not support because it includes the word “false”. Parliament is a very important institution. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Let me go to sub-clause (b). I have finished with sub-clause (a). My only problem with sub-clause (b) is that it says “speaks words” but again, if the words are false, which I would have if I had the opportunity and now I do not understand--- view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: The reasons he says may include what a Member in his own mind would have liked to do if the situation provided for that. I realise that as it is now and the mood in which this re-committal has been done is such that the only thing that we are expected to do is to go either way. Really what we must think is, is that information that can be printed whether, it is false or not? view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I am winding up. We have correctly quoted Article 34(2) of the Constitution but we have also cleverly neglected to quote Article 34(1) which says “…does not extend to any expression specified in Article 33(2)” which says: “The right to freedom of expression does not extend to advocacy of hatred that constitutes ethnic incitement, vilification-- -” view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Articles of the Constitution. I know history and the HANSARD will say that this day Hon. Nyikal was right but was alone. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, at this point, I do not support. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to discuss this Bill. At the outset, I support it but with very serious amendments. It is important that we have proper health records. Health records are key in the management of patients. If we do not have proper health records, many things can go wrong. Mismanagement of patients will occur; management of wrong patients will occur, wrong surgeries will be done and wrong surgeries in the wrong parts of the body will happen. More importantly is the follow up of patients. If patients do not have good records--- ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: It is also important that we have good records because it is from the records that we do research in the health sector. Diseases are classified and, again, it is the health records professionals who know the international classification standards and international classification practice of diseases so that when we have records of diseases, national data and statistics, they are in line with statistics and data from all other parts of the world. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: If research is undertaken in areas where there are no proper records, they may be invalid by the fact that records are not accurate and may not be repeatable. You cannot repeat research results from one place to the other even within the county. It is extremely important, therefore, that we have proper record keeping in the health sector. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when patients are transferred or referred from one point to another, which these days occur across countries or internationally, health practitioners will heavily depend on the records that are available to them. Sometimes, they may need records ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I will propose and make sure that the whole of Part IV is amended, so that we can have those people registered. The issue of licensing them to do private practice for a fee is a dangerous area that we do not want to get into. Similarly and arising from that is this: If then they are not going to have the practice on their own and raising funds - which I said is not desirable - there will be an issue of how we shall raise funds to run the Board. It is important and we may have to ... view
