• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to air my views on the Health Laws (Amendment) Bill. First of all, I would like to thank the Committee that has worked hard to bring these amendments. I believe these amendments are being done to better our healthcare facilities and to run those facilities in a professional manner. In my view, as we pass these amendments, we need to look into very serious issues that are happening in our hospitals, especially in the counties and in the constituencies. This is because all the doctors have concentrated on the ... view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: The other thing is that we need to either amend or come up with a law that will make every Kenyan to have NHIF card. If it is possible, the Government can even subsidise and the cost lowered from Kshs500 a month to, maybe, Kshs100 or Kshs200. It could help. How many people in the rural areas can afford Kshs500? Even if you pay for a few, what about the rest? Therefore, I would like us to link it to NHIF so that we can regulate it so that everybody can afford healthcare and patients can be treated in those ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This morning I stand to support this Motion. I was really looking forward for this. Hon. Michael Muchira, this is timely because being a Member of Parliament, especially when you are new MP, every young man looks upon you to be their employer the next day. This has not happened. Having seen an opportunity in the NYS, we encouraged them to go there. Since we were elected, they have been able to do two intakes and I made sure I had meetings with them and about 100 of them have gone. 50 have already ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Michael Muchira has brought on the Floor of the House – that we find a way of absorbing these young people, even if it is not all of them in the military, but put them in some of the ministries where they can help. This is because they come out with very good skills. I have been an employer for 34 years in the engineering sector and the people that I employ from the NYS are very disciplined. They report to work at 8.00 a.m. while others that I poached from other companies come in at around 9.00 a.m. or ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: It is very dangerous to have a person with knowledge in a village and he is doing nothing. He will become the teacher of those who do not know anything. Therefore, we need to keep those young people very busy. It is the happiness of every parent that once a student has graduated, they continue learning or work and bring something to the parent who has invested a lot of money in the child. The Government has invested a lot of money in the NYS. We should not let this money and investment go down the drain when we know ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute. I rise to support the Motion by Hon. Osotsi. This is a very important Motion. Young people in this country need to nurture their talents, especially now when there are no employment opportunities. They can earn their living by nurturing their talents and engaging in sporting activities. We should establish sports academies in every constituency, so that school dropouts can have somewhere to train and nurture their talents. When we go home over the weekend, we come across so many young people at the market places doing ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Young people in Masinga Constituency are so talented but they only practise when they are in school. Once they finish Form Four, they put their talents in their boxes. That is the end of the story. There are so many youths who have so many medals because they are talented. If they can be nurtured continuously, they can become good athletes and footballers who can earn a living. I tried to nurture some youths but I did not go very far because of little resources. If the Government can help us by establishing sports academies, we will go down in ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the chance that you have given me although I wanted to contribute to the Building Surveyors Bill. Let me add my voice to this killing of innocent people. It is very sad that at this age people are still being killed by their neighbours who have formed groups calling themselves armies of the people or enemies of the people. It is timely that Hon. Barasa has brought this Motion, so that we can add our voice because it is very bad to kill another person who was not sick. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I can continue. It is very bad to kill innocent people. Wait for people to die a natural death. These killings are not only happening at these constituencies but also in other constituencies like Masinga. There are some young people who have organised themselves. They wait for the other boys who are coming from the shops at night and kill them. When you report and they are arrested, the police release them even without taking them to court. These kinds of killings might spread to every part of this country which will be very ... view
