Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the way I always start my contributions is by supporting.

8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to support the Petition and say that the practices that we see currently in most hospitals are worrying. The kind of unprofessionalism with which hospitals nowadays treat not just staff but even patients is worrying. I am sure many of us read this story about our local hospitals referring patients to India for treatment, even those who can receive proper treatment locally. I urge that the Committee looks deeper at the ethical and unethical practices that these hospitals get involved in. Lastly, I am worried. This may touch not just on the health ...

because medicine is not any other profession. It is important that this matter is looked into so that we are sure that we are getting doctors who come from well equipped universities. Thank you.

8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. While I support the petition by Hon. Chris Wamalwa, I want to add that when the education system in a county is messed up, it affects the generations that follow. If there is any institution that needs reforms, it is the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC). As a starting point, the Committee should recommend reorganization and cleaning up of the KNEC. The people serving in that body have either become complacent or there is a problem with them in terms of keeping pace with technological development. Let us just face it and admit that we are ...

17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly:
I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to support the mediated version of this Bill. While supporting the Bill, allow me to congratulate the Committee of 10 Members comprising of five Members from each of the two sister Houses. This outcome is a demonstration that our bicameral Parliament is working. It vindicates the requirements of Articles 110, 111 and 112. More specifically, it shows that Article 113 of the Constitution can be respected. We can live within it and work for the benefit of this country. I pray that this spirit is carried forward as the two Houses engage ...

17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly:
although late in our term. I do not think the people of Kenya created a bicameral Parliament by mistake. Now that we have found a new working formula with the Senate, let us respect each other as we continue deliberating on Bills that involve the two Houses, including those Bills that touch on the national Budget and public financial management. Having said that, I want to agree with those who deliberated and agreed on this mediated version of the Bill. In my view, the fundamental questions are two, namely, how prudently, efficiently and economically can we manage our affairs as ...

17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, I want to thank you for that informed ruling made partially but very quickly. Really, you were thinking on your feet. There were two clarifications that I wanted to seek from you although Hon. Kaluma has already asked one and so, I will not repeat. Hon. Speaker, a document has been tabled because this House requires that when you make allegations against another Member you do so. By the way, I want to inform my colleague, Hon. Washiali that we are not discussing him. What Hon. Jakoyo did was to challenge him to declare his ...

---only to find that the document is genuine. Hon. Speaker, I think I was thinking in Kisuba but allow me to come back to English. Hon. Speaker, Kenyans are fond of denying even the obvious. So, for us to be clear in our minds that Hon. Washiali truly does not know this company and yet the documents have his name--- In fact, Hon. Washiali should be very disturbed that someone has documents bearing his name, bank account and where the money went. Finally, as I sit down I want to seek another clarification and I wish Hon. Washiali listens. Hon. ...

17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly:
Members of this Committee and that issue has not been settled. Up to now members of that Committee have not been cleared by Kenyans on corruption matters. So, Hon. Washiali has a responsibility to tell Kenyans whether the serious allegations he made against Members of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives are true or he was playing politics. How sure are we that he is not continuing to play politics even now? Thank you, Hon. Speaker.
