• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also wish to make a serious contribution to this Bill. The Bill is geared towards giving structures and methods of dealing with refugees. Remember that refugees are people who ran or run away from their countries because of hostilities and circumstances that make their countries uninhabitable by human life. People run away because of war and conflicts. People run away from their countries The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: because of problems that are created by either politicians or leaders in those countries. They also run away because of problems created through hunger and all those other issues. Kenya is a blessed country because it has been receiving refugees since time immemorial from Rwanda and Burundi in the past years and refugees from Uganda during the wars between Milton Obote and Iddi Amin Dada. People ran away from Sudan and Somalia. Others ran away from Ethiopia. I thank God for allowing this country to host refugees who have been running away from problems in their countries. Remember we almost ... view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: The difference between illegal immigrants and refugees is so huge. Trump was talking about deporting illegal immigrants, which I think is a different thing. We are talking about people who have come to seek refuge in our country like what some Kenyans did in 2007 in Uganda. Therefore, this law will solve the problem that some people are trying create by declaring that Kenya should repatriate refugees immediately to their respective countries yet those countries are still experiencing serious hostilities and people are still killing each other. I wish to support this law because it gives guidelines on how to ... view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: you want the rich countries to give us money. Who made them rich? It is the leaders and the citizens of those countries that make their countries rich. Kenya is also rich. Therefore, we have an international obligation to ensure that refugees in our country are safe and secure. view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: This law also seeks to establish a secretariat that will deal with refugee affairs, so that whenever we are dealing with refugees, we do not deal with them anyhow. It also seeks to establish a Refugee Status Appeal Board. The CS could declare that one is not a refugee or an illegal immigrant. There should be a board where people can appeal and seek a determination of their status. This Bill also seeks to establish refugee reception offices. Remember, anyone can be a refugee any time. It is not something that can be planned. People can fight in their countries ... view
• 22 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to talk about this Bill, which touches on health matters. The Committee and the Senate have done good work. You must remember that health is a very vital department. Without even elaborating much, this country needs to re-look seriously the issue of health. Although the Constitution devolved health to the county levels, there is still a very serious confusion. This is because it has not yet been determined whether some serious health services are supposed to be in the counties or in the national Government. We all know that the referral hospitals ... view

• 22 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: proper treatment in the hospitals run by the national Government. You will be shocked that in some of the hospitals run by the counties, patients cannot get treatment. It is high time we looked at health services. This Bill discusses the inter-relations between both levels of Government in terms of health and that is a good thing. The training of nurses and doctors is still done by the national Government. However, these people are the ones going to work for the county governments. Therefore, there must be that close relationship so that both sides can work in a harmonious way. ... view

• 22 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Government. Some of them are doing business in this country and therefore making this country rich. So, why can we not provide these people with NHIF services for free? In any case we have cases of people stealing money from our Government facilities. We are still reading in shock about how people stole billions of money that was meant for maternity, HIV/AIDS patients and the provision of other services. view
