• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. I stand to support the amendments under the Health Laws (Amendment) (National Assembly Bill No. 14 of 2018). These amendments are meant to realign the various Acts to be in line with the Constitution. This alignment will help stabilise various units such as the pharmacists, physiotherapists and others.

Yet, when you go to our institutions; dispensaries, health centers and hospitals, there are no personnel, especially at the lowest level. Apart from the nurses, clinical officers and doctors who are not available because of the salaries that are paid by the Government and the various counties; if a commission was established to handle all health matters together, we would not be having all these disparities.

• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Out of the nurses and clinical officers that the country produces, a lot of them leave the country to look for better remuneration.

• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand to support this amendment. It is clear that small business people have suffered a lot in this country. No attention has been given to them because of the volume of business they carry out. If Parliament sets aside a certain amount to support small businesses, I am sure that the economy will grow. In the rural areas, you will find table banking. Without table banking, people cannot improve their businesses. If they get 10 per cent allocation, I am sure there will be a lot of improvement in those businesses. view

• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: First, this is a defined contributory scheme which provides social security benefits to the members. The Bill covers all the employees of the county governments. Therefore, they stand to benefit when they reach the retirement age. The Bill lays down a very good administrative structure which will ensure the security of the contributions. The trustees will be appointed by the CS for the National Treasury, who has the authority to fire, if there are any misdeeds among them. The structure also brings a Chief Executive Officer who will be the accounting officer for the scheme. We need an accounting officer ... view

• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: The Bill also encourages or brings out the issue of investments. The fund manager will invest the earnings or income to assure the contributors of payment when they retire. If there is no investment, the scheme can die very quickly. So, this investment proposal is very good. It assures the contributors of continuous receipt of their contributions. view
