• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand guided. The Assistant Minister should also tackle the issue of excess working hours for doctors. Doctors work for over 70 hours in a week. What is the Ministry doing to ensure that doctors do not get overworked? I also want the Minister to comment on the creation of the Health Service Commission which should be handling doctor’s issues, just the way the Judiciary Service Commission (JSC) handles issues to do with judges and Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) handles the issues of Parliament. Lastly, but more important, the Minister should tell us when they are going ... view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise under Standing Order No.33 which says:- “The Speaker may direct any matter which, in the Speaker’s opinion, is secret or purely personal to be excluded from the Journals of the House and from the verbatim report of proceedings of the House, and to be the subject of a separate verbatim report, which shall be kept in the custody of the Clerk and made available only to Members.” view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the matter which we are about to discuss touches on our national security and Armed Forces, aware that our country is at war. Therefore, I would request that you invoke this Standing Order so that the matter can be heard in camera. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to second this Motion. From the outset, I want to join the rest of Kenyans, first, to congratulate our armed forces for the good work they have been able to do and stand firm for this country. I remember that sometime back, they were being referred to as a career army, but now they have proved that they are actually an operational army and the best we have in the region. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: In the region! Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said that, I want also to commend our diplomats for the way they have also managed to handle this war by bringing in the IGAD and the neighbouring countries. The issue of Somalia and the Al Shabaab is not a Kenyan problem. It is more of an African problem and a world problem. So, when Kenya is going through hard times economically and also in other fields, it is only fair and proper that other governments come in to shoulder the costs of this war. Therefore, the Motion put forward by the Minister ... view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other issue I would want the Minister to come and tell Kenyans clearly is what the exit strategy is. The issue of how, as a country, we are going to get out of this war is important because we do not want to be caught in a perennial war as other countries have done and their economies have been negatively affected. We would want the Minister and Government to show us a systematic process by which Kenya is going to exit from the war in which it is in. I believe that this is a step ... view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second. view

• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am the hon. Member for Mutito. It is rather unfortunate to see what is happening. Just the other day, a nationalist like hon. Paul Ngei who fought for this country went through the same problem. What is this Government doing to come up with a policy to assist those veterans who have served this country with dedication and have not been involved in corruption to get money for treatment when they are sick? Those people gave their lives to the nation. What policy does the Government have to ensure that such peoples’ medical requirements are taken ... view
