• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I also rise to support this Motion that provides for specialised training and subsidised costs relating to fistula surgery. My colleagues who spoke before me had actually explained in detail what fistula is. Having known that it is a condition that affects women and girls due to unattended labour at birth, or as a result of, maybe, rape I think it is important that we support our women countrywide so that they can get subsidised medical care in all our health facilities. As a matter of fact and as ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Motion which has been brought by Hon. Jessica Mbalu on the construction of post-trauma care facilities throughout our constituencies. Many people have suffered in this country. Many women have suffered in this country in the past - also including men. As you are aware, there is a lot of gayism and lesbianism the world over. Such practices take place in our country and institutions. So, I support the Motion. Thank you. view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wanted to contribute to the Coast Guard Service Bill. Thank you. view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second the Motion on the Kenya Coast Guard Service Bill. This Bill requires the establishment of the Kenya Coast Guard Service, whose mandate will be to patrol our territorial waters for purposes of safeguarding them. Currently, you may have observed that we do not have anyone patrolling, safeguarding or trying to keep a hawk’s eye on our territorial waters. In fact, this country has been under the mercy of God that we have not had external attackers using our territorial waters as an avenue to attack the people in Kenya. In ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I also rise to support this Motion, which seeks to have cancer declared a national disaster. Cases of cancer are skyrocketing in Kenya today, especially in Marsabit County where I come from. Sometimes back, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Kenya Television Network (KTN) aired a programme in which they named my county “The Desert of Death”. Many people in my constituency die as a result of cancer cases. Many children die. Many adult people die. Cases of cancer are being reported until today. Nothing much is done. view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Sometimes back in the years 1995 to 1998, there was a petroleum company which was doing oil and gas exploration in my constituency. It is believed to be the one which deposited toxic materials underground. It could be the cause of cancer in my constituency. I will find it prudent if the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) is put to task to investigate by testing the soil, the water and even the vegetation to find out whether that is the cause of cancer killing my people or not. view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: A lot of people have died of cancer. Unfortunately, nothing in terms of compensation has been paid to them. The fact that this Bill is talking about compensating those people by creating a fund to means it will also be prudent if we create a database to capture each person who has died of cancer and those who are living with it. Imagine people in the villages and how vulnerable they are. They cannot afford their medication. Cancer is becoming very expensive. All kinds of ailments follow people. If you go to hospitals, you will find that people cannot afford ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to the Bill being deliberated upon. The Computer and Cybercrimes Bill has come at the right moment where many Kenyans today are facing the challenges of 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
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: people sending them very bad messages, pornography included. Many people are actually unable to tolerate that kind of behaviour. Unfortunately, there has been no proper law in place to deal with cybercrime. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as you may have noted, many parliamentarians have actually succumbed to this cyber bullying. It is very unfortunate that as much as we appreciate information technology it has come in handy to help many Kenyans to go about their business. You may have realised that in the old days, people used to sit in their offices and write everything manually. Today, information technology has ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Some people use other people’s names to register themselves as the owners of sim cards. The telecommunication companies should be advised to deregister and register people anew. That way, we will start from a new page and the companies will know that the data which is captured in their systems is truly of a particular person. Some people purport to be certain people and yet they are not. People impersonate other people. view
