• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add onto the voices of others in congratulating the Minister for bringing a land policy at this time. It is a shame that we have not had a policy on land since Independence because it would have solved a number of things. It is an embarrassment and a shame that we are still talking about squatters and IDPs many years after Independence. Squatters, as we know, were created before Independence. When Africans worked on the farms of the white settlers, IDPs were created then. I come from ... view

• 11 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion which is timely. I congratulate the Ministry for coming up with this policy that takes care of older persons and the ageing. I really like reading the issues that are being addressed by this policy. This policy says that it will facilitate the enjoyment of quality life before and during old age. The other aspect that really attracted my attention was that it will ensure that older people will have access to safe, durable and affordable shelter. This is excellent. We have changed our ... view
• 11 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the people who cannot access medical cover are the elderly. So, to get even Kshs20 to buy a card in a public health centre is a nightmare to these people. Our elderly have become victims of the changes in the society where we are not taking responsibility the way we used to do. Culturally, Africans were brought up to take care of their elderly. So, we do not have a system where the Government takes responsibility and neither do we take the responsibility. There have been changes in the development of our country. The economic ... view
• 11 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: as Members of Parliament. They are malnourished because they do not have enough food to eat. They also do not have clothing and worse still, if they are hospitalized, they form the majority of those people we hear have been detained in hospital because they cannot afford healthcare. It is true that they have been detained because, as hon. Members of Parliament, we have been involved in fundraising for the elderly and their families say that they do not know who should take responsibility. So, this Sessional Paper is timely because the Government must take up that responsibility. We must ... view
