• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: expectant mothers have been reluctant to visit health institutions for fear of contracting the COVID-19 disease. Expectant mothers are now opting for private midwives to assist in home births and postnatal care. It is of concern that traditional midwives have never been endorsed by the Government despite their existence. Further, the preexisting crisis may draw more women to give birth in their homes and as a result, more infants and young children will miss the pediatric appointments for routine immunization and other health related matters. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the ... view

• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second the Report as it has been read by the Hon. Member. From all that has been read by the Mover, we have heard about the nominee’s experiences and abilities. It is good that this nominee has been working in acting capacity even though he was the Chief Manager, Programmes in the NG-CDF Board. view
• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: At least a majority of the Members have interacted with the nominee. They know his strengths and weaknesses. When vetting the nominee, we looked at his academic papers and experiences in the public service. We noticed the 16 years he worked in senior management positions. We found the nominee, if approved by this House, capable of being a substantive CEO of the NG-CDF Board. view

• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: He met all other requirements as read by the Mover in terms of EACC, KRA, DCI, HELB and others. It is true that from one of the memoranda, a member of the public was really contesting his appointment. He said if this House approves his nomination, he will be working as a CEO for more than the stipulated time. I also want to echo the words of the Mover who said that a person in an acting capacity is not subject to term limits associated with that office. Only a substantive holder of an office is subject to the term ... view
• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: The letter that had been given to Mr. Mbuno was only holding brief until a substantive CEO would be appointed. Therefore, there is no law that stops a person serving in an acting capacity, from applying to be considered for appointment as a substantive holder of that same office. If he is blamed for the length of time he has served in an acting capacity, it will be wrong. We can only count this as an opportunity for all of us and especially the Select Committee to have known this nominee better. Therefore, without much ado, because we understand the ... view
