• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I know that what we are seeing in this Report is fairly similar to what we will see in other Government institutions, namely, very weak and poor procurement processes, poor controls and very weak governance structures. All these need to be strengthened. We should do whatever it takes as Parliament to ensure that the Judiciary is strengthened. Already, through the provision The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: of funds which rose from Kshs3 billion in the previous year to Kshs16 billion in the year that we are discussing, that was already an indication that Parliament means well to strengthen the Judiciary. view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I support the recommendation that those who are mentioned in this Report should be investigated as individuals and then held responsible rather than just lumping everybody together in a group. They should be held personally responsible. The State organs that are charged with investigations should do their work, namely, the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). I hope that this time, they will do their work properly as is expected, so that the appropriate action is taken against those who are found culpable. If that does not happen, then we will be looking at such ... view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I also notice an issue that we should give top priority. The issue of human resource development within the Judiciary is highlighted in the Report as one of the very weak areas. The Judiciary is not like a factory or plant that has machinery. It depends on the people. They should have the best human resource development systems. However, from this Report, you find that the systems are fairly weak when it comes to issues of recruitment, human resource policies, promotions, deployment and other benefits. This area should be given serious consideration and focus, so that we can have the ... view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: There is a whole litany of underlying irregularities in several pages. There are all manner of irregularities from procurement, leases, purchases and in nearly every transaction. This is a very worrying situation and we call upon those who are responsible, the leadership and the whole country to take this Report seriously and take appropriate action. view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon, Speaker, with those comments, I support the Motion. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this important Bill. It is only right that a professional group of biomedical engineers have an Act that regulates their activities. As the Bill provides, it is able to regulate the training, registration, licensing and the practice of that profession. We also have addressed a number of other professional cadres through legislation in this House. That is a very positive step because we need to encourage professionalism and specialisation, particularly in an area such as medical engineering, which is a fairly new field that needs to ... view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: have come into office to look at the overall provision of health in the country, to work very hard. Even when you look at the structure and organisation, you find that in health centres where certain fees are charged, that money is deposited into a central account in the counties. It is so difficult for the money to be disbursed back for use by those facilities. That needs to be looked at very carefully and given priority so as to save our health sector. Otherwise, I support this Bill. It is a very important Bill and should allow promotion of ... view
• 9 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support and commend the Petitioner for bringing this Petition. The areas that he has enumerated there are just examples. They are areas that are of concern to all of us. However, I know we can pass and amend all the laws, but the problem is not lack of laws to deal with the areas that have been pointed out. The problem is the commitment and the implementation of those laws. Therefore, we should be looking at implementation and commitment more than anything else. We should find out what is lacking from our enforcement ... view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the appointment of Dr. Muraguri as the Principal Secretary for State Department for Health. Looking at all the papers that have been presented to us, I have no doubt that Dr. Muraguri qualifies for the job. I have interacted with him mainly through activities of the Departmental Committee on Health, in which I sit. He is a serious person who knows what he does. He has experience and is involved The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
