• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly through the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources: (i) inquires into how Athi Water Services Board and the Nairobi Water Sewerage Company arrive at the punitive tariffs that they charge the residents and the operators of this private borehole projects; (ii) inquires into the circumstances under which Nairobi Water officials arrogate themselves the power to use the brutal force of Administration Police officers to arrest and harass private water service providers; (iii)inquires into the circumstances under which Nairobi Water officials arrogate themselves the power to destroy private property in the ... view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Much has been said about this Motion that has been presented by Hon. Janet Nangabo. I still take the opportunity to congratulate her for a job well done. This is a well thought out Motion that is important and timely. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I will not go to the details of the condition because its descriptions have been made here. Beyond the physical attributes of this condition, there are some very dehumanising, emotional and un-dignifying effects that come with the condition. As such, it becomes a matter of national interest. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: More important, the numbers are very high. Because of that, it becomes an issue that this House needs to apply its mind on. One critical thing that is obviously missing in the wording of the Motion is “provision of free healthcare through insurance cover”, especially the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). It is important that we find a way of ensuring that there is provision within the NHIF cover to deal with this condition as a special case even as we push for cases like cancer and liver conditions to be covered in a special way by NHIF. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Beyond that, it is also a good time for this House to revisit the matter of healthcare in this country. We gave ourselves a Constitution and in our common wisdom, we decided that health will be devolved. However, six years down the line, we can take stock of how we are conducting affairs of health in this country. The picture of health in this country is bleak and this is the right opportunity for this House to reopen the debate on some of the functions that we devolved. Health is critical, even appearing as one of the big pillars of ... view

• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support that this Report be tabled and adopted. The ACP-EU august Assembly is an important formation. Although it is never said as such, it is not a loss to us, as Members of Parliament, that this Joint Assembly, by its very formation, is a roundtable engagement of former coloniser countries and their colonies. view

• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: In the larger scheme of things, and especially in this new emerging world order where we are seeing former superpowers falling and weakening while newer superpowers are coming up and rising, the deliberations of the 49th Session of the ACP Parliamentary Assembly could not have been more timely. This is especially in the light of the new era that is dawning that is being popularly called the ‘post-Cotonou era’, where we shall renegotiate the terms of engagement between the African, Caribbean and Pacific countries as relates to the EU and especially in matters to do with trade.
