• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: The control over what to buy over the counter and what not to buy used to be enforced by the Kenya Pharmacy and Poisons Board but that is no longer happening. Anybody can walk into any establishment, especially a chemist, and buy what they want. We hope when the Bill is enacted, it will add more power to control drugs. view

• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: I yield my time to Members to comment on this. We dealt with it in the Departmental Committee on Health for a long time. It is a good Bill. In closing, I want to make sure that Members understand that the Bill has been moved as it is but there are proposed amendments that will be introduced, which will separate drugs from food.

• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill which is timely. Also, I want to thank the Committee for the good work they have done. view

It is all centred on me. So, the interest may be skewed. That has been happening with KRA. Many people are frustrated. Out of that frustration, a lot has led to harassment and psychosocial issues, and even economic issues. Even businesses have closed because some cases protract for years. It has also led to many bankruptcy cases, lots of job losses and tax evasion. If you cannot breathe, you will always ... view
• 1 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My own worry in this is that the process of popular initiative was challenged, but those who were challenging the process in the High Court did not even conduct public participation.
