• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I also want to bring forth the use of processed foods and lifestyle diseases. Food is processed mainly for it to be used when there is no glut, to increase its value and also to be used where such food does not exist. It not in the processed foods that we get diseases, but on the amount we take that can bring about diseases. So, sausages are not bad and they do not cause diabetes neither do potato chips. I want to talk about neonatal diabetes mellitus and its consequences especially in the later ages. When we do not diagnose ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: There is also need for communities to be largely educated on the management of diabetes, especially at the lowest level. There is need to train village elders who always hold view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: They are in a position to talk about issues on management of diabetes at the village level. There are many cases of people suffering from the disease who are now faced with amputation of limbs or other appendages of the body. Now, this cannot be done because of the beliefs and fears that people have. So, if you were to have this one done on time, that would mitigate many of the problems that we have with the consequences of diabetes.

• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: People have the privilege of having a few meals here in Parliament. You can do breakfast, 10.00 a.m. tea, lunch and also 4.00 p.m. tea, but the biggest and worst enemy of diabetes and high blood pressure is the food that we eat. Allow me to warn Members of Parliament that the food that we are predisposed to here in Parliament can be a big source of diabetes. If you take tea, several mandazis and maize and you also take sweet potatoes, my friend, know very well that you are predisposed to diabetes. Just eat a little bit at a ... view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Your chair is honoured. It is a privilege that I am here today to contribute to these amendments and I rise to support them. When it comes to healthcare systems in this country, I empathise with the position of Kenyans. I empathise with our very own because I recently overheard, though I have not seen one anywhere in Rangwe, that there are doctors from Cuba. But there are so many young people who are fully trained as doctors for five years and very many nurses who are trained for the duration that ... view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Yes. You are honoured, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. That will make you see where I am coming from. What I am trying to say is that we really need to take our healthcare system seriously, because the Kenyan doctors and paramedics work hard and they take an oath to serve people. Unfortunately, when we were reviewing our Constitution, of course, doctors were busy in hospitals delivering people and trying to take care of people’s lives. Where did they go? They were thrown to the counties. What happens? No salaries. A doctor works for this month and the next, hana mshahara ... view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: amending these laws, it is important also to thank the health fraternity for what they have done with so little. We need to thank our paramedics. We need to also thank people who have gone out of their way to study medicine even though they do not get employment. Where are we going as a country? Healthcare is one of the Big Four Agenda! Where are we going? view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Having said that, there are wellness clinics and we need to come out and sensitise people on lifestyle. A number of us, me included, rarely have time to exercise. We do not go for check- ups. Prevention is better that cure. Literally even at the constituency levels, people do not know that you can just go and have your blood pressure checked. I thank the CS, Madam Kobia, who came up with Huduma Mashinani. Systems were run in constituencies and the old people felt so nice and the longest line was for healthcare needs because they do not access some ... view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Why not increase the NG-CDF so that a portion is allocated to healthcare? Why not increase the amount so that we improve the very basic systems that exist in our constituencies. So, with the many remarks I rise to support and I hope that Kenya will be where it should be. Your seat is honoured. Thank you view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have not relocated to another place. My sister had made a very good contribution on the Motion whose debate is currently ongoing. I had gone to congratulate her. Besides that, she is unwell. She broke her leg. So, I had gone to empathise with her. Having said that, I rise to support the Motion. Fistula is a big problem in this country. For women, especially those with this condition, it is something that requires attention. It must be declared a national disaster. It mainly affects young and middle-aged women. This is the time ... view
