• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Opposite where he is sitting! view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, initially I had difficulties understanding where the Chair was coming from, and where he was going to. But now I understand. I want to also disagree with Mr. Githae. The intent of the Constitution and the spirit of it is to bring all Kenyans on board, even those in far flung areas. view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: I am opposing this Motion. Can I proceed? view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: And why he had difficulties in declaring whether he supported or not. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will appreciate that the teaching fraternity today is predominantly in the hands of women. It would be important that opportunity be accorded to women to a higher degree, up to about not less than 50 per cent, particularly in the management. But above all, it is very disheartening to see view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for his efficiency on this matter. But I do not quite agree with him that it is efficiency. It is compliance with the law. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my Chair has just pointed out the position and I want to build on to that. Indeed, it is not just a matter of procedure that we have this laid before the House; it calls for public input. We look forward to engaging the Minister so as to find a way of securing that. I would also want to point out that much as ... view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you. On behalf of my constituents, the people of Rangwe, I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to you on having lost your councillor. Again, let me take this early opportunity again to wish the people of Rangwe and the people of the larger Homa Bay County a happy and prosperous new year. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, let me thank hon. Monda for this timely Bill. At the risk of being repetitive, Members of Parliament have done a wonderful job in trying to enhance the quality of life in the ... view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we would want to see the implementation of this Bill upon becoming an Act, so that we eliminate the brokers that are, indeed, a cancer in the procurement of medical supplies. We can have an authority that can deal directly with the manufacturers with an aim of reducing the cost. It is imperative that this process be fast-tracked so that people start benefitting from these facilities. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to ask Dr. Monda in his capacity as the chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health to ensure we have nurses posted ... view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I run the risk of being ruled untimely in my point of order. Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Minister to move this Motion and gloss over it by just saying that there are certain names that need to be passed? This is a very critical time and Members need to really appreciate the need to sit tomorrow morning. He would have done us a lot of good by trying to itemize the issues that we will need to deal with tomorrow morning. That would make Members come and attend the Sitting, instead of ... view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. In supporting I want to point out that it is important that we celebrate our leaders. Our leaders are part of the heritage of this country. Our leaders must and should remain as role models while in service and even after. This is the practice the world over. With those remarks, I support. view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support. In the same vein, I want to point out that very few people are serving this country at those levels. They serve this country with a lot of dedication. I imagine the kind of stress that the Vice- President goes through. At the end of the day, you have expended all your energy. As you go into retirement, it is only honourable that you live a dignified life. You remember that those people retire with a lot of experience. They retire with a lot of wisdom and you, possibly, want ... view
