• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you. I would really like to applaud our President, Hon. Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, for having settled on Hon. Mbeo for appointment as the Chairperson of the Kenya Fish Marketing Authority. I have perused the pages of the Report, looking at the qualifications and experience of this nominee and found that, indeed, he is equal to the task. He has a wealth of experience. He has what it takes academically. Above all, this nominee was also a Member of the EALA at one time. This nominee will become the Board Chair and he is supposed to market our fish. We ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion, which was brought by the Member for Turkana East. Indeed, cattle rustling has become a menace in pastoralist areas. I want to compliment the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government for their effort in ensuring that they reduce insecurity in the pastoralist areas. Indeed, the KPR were armed to help the local community or compliment the National Police Service in handling insecurity in the areas. Unfortunately, you cannot establish the difference in activities between the KPR and the illegal gun owners. So, ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I border Turkana County. It is very unfortunate that cattle rustlers, using their illegal firearms, hijack trucks ferrying livestock from Ethiopia to some markets in Nairobi, offload the livestock and drive them away. Just yesterday, in Marsabit County, within Saku Constituency, a big herd of cattle was driven away by cattle rustlers to an unknown destination. As much as I commend the security docket, I appeal to the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government to at least put in place some measures to deter these bandits. While heading the education docket, he woke up one fine morning ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I appeal to Hon. Matiang’i. Insecurity in the pastoralist areas has become intolerable. People are suffering. People have become vulnerable to illegal gun holders. For how long more should people suffer? When are we going to have some peace in our communities? With those few remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Let me say a word on this one, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. Banks have always been lending money to borrowers in this country and by doing so; the borrowers are required to provide guarantors. When a borrower defaults on loan repayment, the banks go after the guarantors. So, it is very important that a guarantor should be protected in such a way that the bank should go after the person who has borrowed the money. The bank can ask the borrower to provide collateral. In the event that the borrower ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this Report of the Departmental Committee on Health. I wanted to contribute to the earlier Motions discussed in the House like the one on the 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
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Appropriation Bill and the Statement read out by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations, Hon. Metito, with regard to Hon. Njagua who had issued a statement to expel foreigners out of Kenya. I could not get a chance to speak that time and I thought it was a bad day for me. But now that you have given me a chance to add my voice, I thank you very much and appreciate that I caught your eye. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I have listened carefully to the debate although my colleague, the Vice-Chair of the Departmental Committee on Health, spoke in an Indian dialect and I could not grasp his words properly. However, I commend the work the Committee has done in coming up with this elaborate Report that details the status of our national referral hospitals. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Provision of health is devolved except for referral hospitals, namely, KNH, MTRH, NSIRH, MNTRH and the KUTRH. The Report says that hospitals lack land for expansion and do not have enough equipment or facilities like beds and laboratories. We must welcome the Report with both hands as opposed to treating it like the other reports which are normally brought to our attention and then taken to the shelves to gather dust. In the Big Four Agenda, which was introduced by the President, health is one of the components. It is unfortunate that since Independence, the status of our hospitals is ... view
