• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you. The amendment is in order because it clears the ambiguity in Clause 37. It is well explained by Hon. Ochieng because it shall be clear on who is supposed to conduct elections. view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Bill. I want to lament the current situation that is facing the health sector. The sector is in a serious crisis and Kenyans are suffering and dying because of the doctors’ strike. I want to ask the stakeholders in the health sector to consider the plight of Kenyans who have lost their lives and those who are languishing in homes because they cannot get medical attention, and expedite the process of negotiations. That way, the health problems that are affecting Kenyans can be solved. Hon. ... view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: The objective of this Bill include making provision for training, registration and licensing of clinical officers as well as regulating the practice to provide for the establishment, powers and functions of the Clinical Officers Council of Kenya. From the objectives, I want to support this Bill because it finds a solution to one of the problems that is facing the sector. This Bill will provide standards in the clinical profession. We have quite disorderly issues and, therefore, we cannot ignore that profession. Anyone who provides medical services to our patients must have the right training, qualification and knowledge. This Bill ... view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I want to talk about the implementation of this Bill once it is enacted. Section 14(1) of the Bill gives the Clinical Officers Council of Kenya the power to inspect clinics and come up with disciplinary actions against non-compliance. Issues must be dealt with squarely at this point. We have good laws in this country, but things are not done within the right concept during the implementation. Once the Council is put in place, it must ensure that the officers and facilities conform to the requirements of the law. We cannot afford to gamble with a profession that is dealing ... view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the adoption of this Report. Foremost, I want to thank the Committee for the kind of work they have done. It is quite exhaustive. They have submitted to this House very factual details pertaining to transactions of the Tassia II Project. But quite fundamentally, procurement process issues have been raised and there seems to be no integrity at all. The process was seemingly flawed, illegal, unprocedural and no prudent management practices were adhered to when this full exercise was done. This raises the issue that we have certain officers in ... view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: provides for that. It means that from the outset, the project was crafted by individuals to siphon money from Kenyans. Therefore, legal action should be taken against these officers. I also note with a lot of interest that the China Jiangxi International Kenya has been winning tenders for all the large projects at the NSSF. In this country, people get away with any illegal actions. How does this come in? Are proper audit procedures followed to ensure that management practices in our big corporations are monitored on a day to day basis? This will prevent a situation where one company ... view
• 13 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology, I beg to reply. This is one of the Bills that have attracted a lot of attention from the Members. Within four hours of its debate, it had been canvassed by about 26 Members. The concerns that were raised by Members in this Bill will be considered and tabled during the Committee Stage. I beg to reply. view
• 13 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: THE COMPETITION (AMENDMENT) BILL 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
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Without much ado, I want to take this opportunity to thank, congratulate and appreciate the Kenyan heroes and heroines who put our country on the world map. They did a commendable job. As a sportsman, I understand it takes a lot to prepare for a sporting event. They did us proud and we must take an initiative and make a very decisive mark to invest immensely in sports because it is the only way we can nurture talent. We should start mentoring programmes to inspire the young people. Sporting activities are also important for ... view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I want to really commend my colleague, Hon. Wamunyinyi, for coming up with this amendment Bill on VAT. At least, sugarcane growing farmers will benefit a lot from the trade of sugar production in this country. view
