Dr. Joyce Cherono Laboso

Dr. Laboso, a distinguished scholar can best be described as assertive and confident. She had never thought of being a politician, her debut into politics was unceremonious. The first signals were sent as she eulogized he late sister, Lorna, who had died in a plane crash. A week later elders announced that they had chosen her to fill the vacant Sotik Parliamentary seat. In her two terms she has prioritized development of roads, education, water and electricity within the constituency. She also holds close to heart women issues. Dr. Laboso is the current deputy speaker, National Assembly.

  • 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank the Assistant Minister for the answer. However, is he aware that the said person was found with missing body parts, and that to date, we do not know where the parts are? view
  • 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the body was without some parts, including his private parts. To date, some of them have not been found. Is the Assistant Minister aware of that? view
  • 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, will the case of William Soi be one of the many that will just be forgotten by the family because nothing will happen? view
  • 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. I want to start by congratulating the Ministry for doing a very good job. I want to, especially, thank them for introducing new measures to benefit the people through various roads authorities. I believe that with the new authorities that have been put in place, we are going to see a more efficient way of running the Ministry. view
  • 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, even as I support the Ministry, I want again to reiterate that the road network in this country must be seen across the country. For a long time, this country has suffered from inequitable distribution of resources. What is going to change this country is when everybody will have a very good road network, either within the constituencies or the newly created districts. Even as we speak, I can tell you that my own constituency, Sotik, does not have one single tarmacked road. I am sure you might talk about the roads that are going ... view
  • 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is one particular road I would like to single out – the one that has been spoken about from time immemorial. It has been used to politicize the people. The KCC-Ndanai Road has been spoken about, I think, for the last 20 or 30 years. There have been promises to tarmac it but, after the elections, it is quickly forgotten. So, I would, again, wish to ask that, that road be considered, together view
  • 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will begin like everybody else by thanking this Ministry most sincerely for their continued commitment view
  • 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this important Motion. I would like to start my contribution by reiterating that the approved budget for this Ministry stands at 11 per cent when the agreed budget should be 15 per cent of the national Budget. This is an important indication of how this Government is taking health issues in this country. We should make sure that we are within the agreed 15 per cent, since we are signatories to the Abuja Declaration. view
  • 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Even as the Ministry tells us how much it will spend, we should ask how much the citizens spend on health. This is not an amount that is budgeted for. It seems to me that the budget has not made any meaningful impact in making health services affordable to all. I would like to request the Ministry to consider spending a lot more on preventive care than curative care whose expenditure keeps on rising. I would like to confess that my contribution cuts across the two Ministries. The Government should re-prioritize preventive care than curative care. view
