• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: person who was doing the procedure, she actually undertook the procedure and obviously there was a major problem that occurred that had to be corrected later. We went back to the people who trained her and we found information that during her training under Dr. Ilako, she actually had a similar problem of not adhering to instructions. Actually, at one time, she enucleated two eyes of a patient when it was not clear whether the eyes were to be enucleated or not. She did that without referral to the consultants. On her own volition, she said she realised that her ... view
• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there are processes and facts. I do not want to go into the processes. I am not a lawyer and I would not claim expertise knowledge on the process of the House. I am still learning. But, Hon. Speaker, I want to tell you what happened, Hon. Speaker. It came as a petition through Hon. Shakeel Shabbir in the last Parliament. The Committee looked at it and the issues at the time mentioned the doctor and the clinic. So, the Committee made a report and sent it directly to Hon. Shakeel. He then raised a question through a ... view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a very important issue which is before us. What the Leader of the Majority Party raised and the question before us is whether we should discuss this Report. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Any report can be amended or rejected. The point is not to go into the content and the substance of the Report to discuss whether we should go on with it. That is what is becoming apparent. If certain portions in the Report are unconstitutional or not in order, we shall be guided at that point. We have spent a lot of time discussing the content of the Report which is not the issue. You should guide that we go on with the Report and where it is necessary, guide us as you always do. view

• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is an extremely important topic we are discussing, although going by the loud consultations in the House, it seems we are not listening to the debate. There is total lack of order in the road transport subsector. There is absolutely no regulation in spite of the existence of the NTSA Act. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is absolutely no regulation in this sector. It has gone completely private. The private sector is profit-driven, and that is as it should be. It is the responsibility of the Government to regulate the private sector to protect the interest of the citizens. In the transport sector, we have left it to SACCOs to regulate themselves. SACCOs are under a different law. I do not see how they can regulate the transport sector. Self-regulation must be accompanied by serious law. In this sector, there is no proper routing, whether it is within the cities or outside. ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: owners just wake up in the morning and decide the routes to take. There is no proper fare regime. People wake up and decide that because it has rained, the fare will be this much, or there is a threat in Parliament that VAT is going to go up and, therefore, we are putting our fares up without any consideration of how they have been affected. We do not have designated embarking and disembarking points. These days, matatus and even buses stop anywhere, take people anywhere and drop off people anywhere. We cannot live like that. It is important to ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Just recently, we rejected a Bill on Nairobi Urban Transport Authority. Although issues were raised on its constitutionality in relation to the counties around Nairobi, we need somebody who will sit down and put up structures, regulations, timing and routing. It is only then that we will be able to control the fares. I congratulate my colleague for bringing this. Look at the NTSA Act and bring it to us here. If you can, we should have a Bill that will force these people to route vehicles, decide on where people come in, structures that will be used for vehicles ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am a Member of the Committee and I want to thank all the Members who have raised the issue. This was a matter of great concern in the Committee. Issues of definition could have been dealt with through a Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. The Cabinet Secretary did not come the last meeting when we were considering this Bill. They take advantage of their access to the President to advise on issues that are not issues. If some of you read the newspapers, I was quoted as saying that these are things that should not ... view
