• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Finally, there is the issue of reputation. Whether you are my opponent or I am your opponent, we must protect the dignity of the family. Sometimes, your opponent goes to the social media to tarnish the name of your community and your family just because of political differences. This law must protect the dignity of the family, the office and the person’s character. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Bill. But, at the Committee of the whole House, we need to introduce amendments. We need the Committee to take our consideration so that we can make this Bill good for all of us. Thank you. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Motion by Hon. (Ms.) Wairimu. All of us know that in this country, youth form the largest population. If we encourage such kind of activities like waiving of fees, many youth will get into self-employment. It also encourages innovation and investment. The little money that we give to the youth, instead of misusing them, can make them invest in little businesses. It is tiring and discouraging when you get youth coming to us leaders asking for money for these certificates so that they can apply for a tender. After ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: discourage the youth from applying for such tenders. So, we need to enforce the law that we have. The 30 per cent should be designated to the youth so that they compete according to their strength. I support it. Thank you. view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. None of us can deny the bad things are happening at the KNH, but I oppose this Report because it is biased. Where does a problem start? It starts from the top and then moves to the bottom. If you want to make KNH to work very well, we must start from the top. Why am I saying that the Report is biased? When the chairperson was discussing the Report, I listened to her keenly. She said that when Dr. Richard was there, things were good. The The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: KNH was operating very well. However, when the current CEO took over, things started going bad. We have been told that the present CEO is under investigation but here we have already judged her for poor performance. That means she will never get a job anywhere in this country. Let us be very careful as Members of Parliament. We should not judge a person before we get the full report. I am saying this Report is biased because of the issue of collective responsibility. We cannot judge one person and say that he was responsible for the mess at KNH. ... view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Recommendation No.246 says the new board should appraise the top-level management with a view to placing the right personnel with the right qualifications in these positions. This means that those who are there now are not performing. Whose mistake is that? It is the mistake of the Ministry. view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The report on the KMPDB was compiled without a nursing representative. The nurses have complained about that. So, when you are compiling a report or before giving a judgement, you must have included everybody representing the bodies you are dealing with, so that you can give a fair judgement to everybody. The KMPDB report is blaming the nurse. I was in hospital in December and I underwent a surgery. The doctor who performed surgery on me came to check on me. He brought the file to me and then he went to the theatre. ... view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I summarise, the Report that we have here today is okay. If we are going to work in cocoons where some elites and connected people sit somewhere and come up with a report to victimise some few people just because of their connections, that is not the job of Parliament. view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I oppose the Motion. Thank you. view
