• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: It is 1522. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I really respect Dr. Nyikal, but I do not see the reason why we need to define this. Must we continuously murder the Queen’s English? There is the biological father, father and heavenly Father. Why do we have to say that it is the father who donated a sperm and got married to the lady instead of leaving it the way it is? If one is a sperm donor, he remains to be the biological father, whether he will be married to the lady or not. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Again I seek a clarification, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. We are now on the amendment to ‘gametes’. Does that mean we have left the definition of ‘embryo’ out? I had a proposed amendment to it. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Okay, sorry. It went along with definition on ‘eggs’? view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, deleting the definition of “gametes” and substituting therefor the following new definition− “gamete” means a mature sperm from a man or a mature egg from a woman capable of fusing with a gamete of the opposite sex to produce an embryo;”. view

• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Of the many amendments that have been carried, this one is the best. This is so that we be specific that in Kenya, we do not recognize marriages between people of the same gender. I think we should be very clear on this one, and let us all support it. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Yes, this one is purely a medical term; and I think it is very important so that we can protect the human race, because laboratories and science can sometimes bring things that may not be desirable to us. You know what laboratories can do. It can develop a super human who will erase the human race. So, I think it is good that we clearly define it. I support. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am imploring on Hon. Nyikal, on behalf of the Departmental Committee on Health, to drop this definition in its entirety. I state this because there is so much debate about this word “primitive streak”. If we start with the belief, and again upheld in our Constitution, life begins at the conception. Then, when and where does the primitive streak begin? Who are we?
