• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: excellent, many lives are lost and this should not be the case. Therefore, we urge the Government that we need close to 100 per cent coverage. We need healthcare cover similar to what they have in the United Kingdom. Seven million is not enough. On the issue of housing, the President talked about a vibrant economy that will create jobs so that people can buy their homes. In order for this economy to boom, manufacturing sector has to be improved. This is one part of the economy that has been neglected for too long. For far too long, the manufacturing ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to contribute to the Energy Bill. This Bill seeks to consolidate laws relating to energy and align them with the 2010 Constitution of Kenya. It seeks to do this with clarity by seeking to define the roles of the national Government and the roles of county governments. The Bill also proposes to repeal the energy Act of 2006 and the Act of 1982. In Kenya, we rely on three sources of energy as I heard the Member saying. About 68 per cent of energy in this country comes from biomass, 21 ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Local communities and county governments are very important. If we were to have a harmonious and peaceful country, our people must be made to feel that they are part of these projects. We need to enhance ownership of these projects by involving county governments and local communities. We also need to diversify this energy mix. We need to reduce over-reliance on these finite resources, create and increase the local capacity so that we can reduce foreign labour in the energy sector especially in the petroleum sector. We do not have too many of our people there. So, we need to ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I could be leaving so I might not be able to speak for long. Maybe we could give other speakers less time so that other Members may get a chance to speak on this Report. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This Report was as a result of investigations undertaken because of certain issues the Committee believed had happened at KNH. Some of these issues were sexual abuse, breakdown of critical equipment at the hospital and general operations of the hospital. The Committee met with the board and the management on 26th January 2018. They then made a tour of the hospital on 31st January to the various departments to see for themselves if the allegations were true. I agree with Mheshimiwa (Ms.) Wanga that just the fact that it did not appear on the ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: do more at KNH. The findings which the Committee came up with were not surprising. As many speakers have said, it was issues of lack of equipment, old and obsolete equipment and insufficient equipment. If we are told that the hospital of 2,000 beds has only one MRI and that MRI was put into operation in 2005, it is now obsolete in 2018.You begin to wonder how they do diagnosis if the machine stopped working two years ago. We hear of issues of cancer and we think of children. This is terrible beyond words. All this money going to the ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: if they are at stage 3 or 4. Not with the kind of equipment that we have here in these hospitals in Kenya. I heard another speaker talk about PET scan. We need a PET scan. You cannot analyse cancer unless you have PET scans. The MRIs will not do it. So, when we begin to delude ourselves that Kenya is a developed country... We say that Kenya is this and that yet if you go into those hospitals, instead of seeing a hospital, you will see a marketplace. We should change the way we do things in this country. ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. The Salgaa-Mau Summit Road has claimed so many lives that it has reached a point where we have forgotten the number of people who have died on this road. It is time the Government walked the talk. In 2009, there was an accident at Sachangwan which involved a fuel tanker where hundreds of people were killed. The then President, Hon. Mwai Kibaki, and many national leaders, attended the funeral of those affected. It was here that they promised to put up a trauma hospital at Salgaa Trading Centre. Nine years later, ... view
• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. As a member of the Departmental Committee on Lands, I should add my voice to this. This particular land issue has been an ongoing tragedy for decades to the people of Kilifi. The tragedy began when the colonial government forcibly evicted the local residents to pave way for colonial settlers back in the 1920s. Since then there have been fictitious amalgamations and subdivisions in an attempt to prove ownership of this land. The fact of the matter is that the land purportedly owned by Mombasa Cement Company, L.R 289 and 290, ... view
• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: I would urge the Committee on Implementation to take this extremely seriously so that when we come back in February this matter would have been finalised, and that those who have been affected for so many decades receive their land. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this and urge all Members of this National Assembly to support it. view
