• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: ensuring equity in provision of health services across the country. Health is important in development because we may not be able to develop our country with unhealthy people. The second Sessional Paper takes into account the two levels of government – the county governments and the national Government. I pause to reflect on what is happening in this country at the moment. We have nurses who have been picketing for a very long time. We have so often seen our doctors and other health professionals staying out there and demanding for their rights in terms of better services in order ... view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As a House, we need to reflect on improvement of the health sector at all levels. I believe we need to have a way of establishing how well we are doing in terms of improving the health sector even as we pass this Sessional Paper. With those remarks, I support. view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to speak in this House. I wish to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for moving this Motion so that we can discuss matters of national importance. Indeed, there are a lot of things going on in the country and we need to take caution. I would wish to refer this House to Chapter Four of the Constitution on the Bill of Rights and specifically Article 35(2) which states: “(2) Every person has the right to the correction or deletion of untrue or misleading information that affects that person.” At ... view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Let me refer this House to Chapter 1 of the Constitution on sovereignty of the people and the supremacy of the Constitution. I am specifically referring to Article 2 (2). It says that there is no person who can claim or exercise state authority except as authorised under the Constitution. Anyone who does that will basically be misleading the public. I want to specifically say that the NASA leadership, who are senior officials in this country, are misleading Kenyans by trying to tell them that it is possible for us not to have an election as specified by the Constitution, ... view
• 13 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Hon. Speaker for the opportunity to speak in this House. I would like to first of all thank the Almighty God for giving us the Kenya and the people we have today. Kenya is peaceful irrespective of what is happening around. I would also like to thank the people of Tigania West for realising that it was wise to change the leadership and give me the opportunity to serve them for the next five years. I believe, with your support, Hon. Speaker, and the Hon. Members of this House, I will serve them expeditiously. view
• 13 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: I would like to congratulate you for having been elected the Speaker of the National Assembly and all the other Members who have been given various responsibilities. I believe that we are going to move together as a House and do great business. On matters of the day, I would like to note that the President’s Speech was finely balanced in respect of our national development blueprint, which is Vision 2030. It basically dwelt on the social aspect of it. It looked at the quality in terms of where we are right now, and exactly what we are here to ... view
• 13 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: growth of democracy in terms of numbers of either gender in this House. It recognised the fact that we have had an increase in women and youth representation. It clearly tells our youth that their leadership role, which has always been postponed to tomorrow, can be played today. Today, we have very young people who have been entrusted with the responsibility of representing their electorates in this House. I believe they will have the latitude to represent their electorates effectively. The President’s Speech expressed to Kenyans the sovereign right of individuals to bring us where we are, and to put ... view
