• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: In fact, I was even thinking that four years is too long a time, renewable is eight years cumulatively. My view would be like take six years and leave. In fact, I am advising Hon. Angwenyi that next time, I would like to see him either as a governor or a Senator and not a Member of Parliament. Sometimes we need to agree to move on rather than stay forever in certain positions.

• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: When we put Members to committees, we look at their competences. I am wondering whether the Departmental Committee on Health has The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: doctors. We cannot spend time here discussing medical medicine and dentistry. We can use our time better. How do you expect me to be discussing whether medicine includes dentistry? That is the work of the Committee. What I am hearing now is that we have to add dentistry. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Hon. (Dr.) Eseli Simiyu started very well by giving us an assurance of the integrity of the Committee, but he ended badly by saying that the Committee was even accommodating, meaning there are things that were done which are not right. He is actually reinforcing our fears that this Committee has been compromised or compromised itself. How did you accommodate her? Can you explain to us the degree of this accommodation? We are probably legislating in a way that people and their interests are being accommodated. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, maybe, I am a bit confused but I think we need to be clear on how we are moving forward. I thought in the Health Laws (Amendment) Bill, we had proposed amendments to the Food, Drugs and Chemical Substances Act, Cap. 254, which after consultations, it is agreed that they should be dropped.

• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: We may not challenge the Speaker’s ruling at this moment but it is something that we may need to pursue with the Speaker. In my view, the Speaker is giving himself powers that he does not have. That power belongs to this House. If we continue allowing the Speaker to give himself the powers he does not have, he will be legislating for this House. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am not confused and I will never be confused. I am on Page 1333 on New Section 4A. I am very alert. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, in addition to reasons given by Hon. Millie, we need to support this amendment because when I place people in committees, I have a reason for doing so. I placed Nyikal in the Health Committee to be able to advise my side of the coalition. He is my shadow cabinet for health. Dr. Nyikal has advised me strongly that I whip our side to support this amendment, and so I do. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to add my voice in support of this Petition by Hon. Mbui, who is my deputy. I remember when we were students, involved in co-curriculum activities, especially music we used to have the whole trip including meals financed by the Government. At the moment, it has become so difficult. I will tell you that all these Members of Parliament get requests to finance co-curricular activities for The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
