• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank the Mover of this Motion, Hon. Janet Nangabo, for highlighting some of the issues that are considered very private in my community. Matters private parts are The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: very private to the extent that I am alarmed by the statistics that have been given here. If for every 1000 births there are four cases, then you can imagine how private my people are because one would have imagined we do not have such cases in my constituency of Matuga.

• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I propose a situation whereby the Government lowers the cost of training for medical practitioners because it is out of that that you are going to have specialised medical practitioners in this field of fistula. The other issue that I would want addressed through this Motion is medical cover. When you talk about universal healthcare, one would have imagined that NHIF, which takes care of medical cases, would adequately and very fast cover such cases. Unfortunately, it is for those who subscribe and, therefore, pay. We know that in Kenya, we have a very high rate of unemployment. Through this ... view
