• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. It is not correct for my colleague to say that we call the provisions of the Employment Act because it is only applicable to persons who are employed. We are dealing with census where not everyone is employed. It cuts across everyone whether employed or not. The data that is available is only for those who are employed. So, it is not true to say that it is a replica of information. view

• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. I thank the Mover of the Motion for thinking about the issue. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Cancer, as it stands in the country is a national disaster. It has reached a point where the nation should declare it a national disaster because it is a scourge that is killing citizens. This Motion is coming at a time when we are mourning the death of the Governor of Bomet, Hon. (Dr.) Joyce Laboso, who passed away as a result of cancer. We are also mourning the death of a colleague, Ken Okoth, the Member for Kibra who died as a result of cancer too. Some of us have constituents who are currently suffering from this disease which ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Every single weekend, we attend to matters touching on cancer in our constituencies. It is not nice before our eyes. As leaders, we cannot stand by and watch as this thing eats into the society and livelihoods. It is destroying our nation and we need to address it. The fact that screening should be done for free is a welcome idea. The fact that the necessary medicine must be made available for free to the affected persons is also welcome. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I thank the Mover. The Motion has come to this House at a critical time. This is a poignant moment. It is not only cervical cancer that is a problem. I would urge the Mover of the Motion to encompass all aspects of cancer so that we address it wholesome. Indeed, cervical cancer is affecting our sisters and mothers, but other forms of cancer such as prostate cancer are equally a disaster. Men do not want even to think of somebody “visiting” their private parts to do some screening. Cancer has caused us to even put aside the issue of ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: It is about time, as a House, we rose to the occasion and ensured that measures are put in place to address this issue. When HIV/AIDS first struck, it took a strong intervention and cries of the entire nation to address it. Today, we are witnessing low levels of HIV/AIDS in terms of reported cases. That is a success in the entire world because we want to eliminate the disease. I think cancer should be declared a national disaster so that all the efforts and energies of the Government should be directed towards addressing this menace. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: The unavailability of drugs and the treatment of this disease is what is killing our nation. To treat cancer is expensive. It kills the spirit of the patient. It clears all the investment one has and eventually kills one. Families are left behind in poverty and desperation. They have to deal with the aspect of losing a loved one. As we pass the Motion before this House, I urge the other committees to pick up this idea and follow it to its logical conclusion. Let us engage the necessary departments to ensure that we address this menace, scourge, and national ... view
