• 10 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: The Constitution provides for the right to the highest attainable standards of health. I support this Bill because it ensures the right to health services, healthcare, reproductive health in terms of accessibility, affordability and access to information, the right to preventive services, curative and rehabilitative services. I would like to concentrate on Part II of the Bill, which talks about rights. Further to the protection of rights, the Bill protects and promotes the rights of children to basic nutrition and healthcare as stipulated in the Constitution - Articles 43 and 53. It is about the rights of the vulnerable groups ... view
• 10 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: The Bill further establishes a regulatory body which ensures that health products and technologies are accessed. It also ensures safe medication. Quacks will not have space in the medical facilities. We will not have cases like that of “Dr. Mugo”.

• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Petroleum Bill. This Bill is very important for many reasons, given the fact that Kenya has joined the league of oil producing countries. We are endowed with oil, gas and other natural resources and also, given the fact that the dynamics of the oil sector in Kenya is changing, it is quite timely that the Bill comes. I want to concentrate on Article 117 which talks about the community rights. This Bill gives the community the right to be informed. As we all know, the oil sector in Kenya is shrouded ... view
• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: The other clause that is very important is Clause 119 which talks of the local content. The communities need capacity building. This means value addition to the local and national economic investments. They should be given tenders, contracts and jobs. All these are under the local content, including the revenue sharing formula. Clauses 100 to 108 streamline land issues for oil operations.

That is because of the land that has to be given out by the National Lands Commission (NLC). ... view
