• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I notice that there is actually a change. I give a case of 30th when a pastor who is a very good friend of our family was suspected to have COVID-19 in Bungoma. In that situation - and he is in a referral hospital of the county - they were not able to do a test to enable him to be transferred to another facility even though they suspected he was a COVID-19 patient. Then they were not able to transfer him to ICU because, apparently, Bungoma has only one ICU bed. I consulted Kakamega to ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: So, if we are talking about a health system that is already overwhelmed, especially in the counties, how much more when we are talking about police stations? I think it is incumbent upon us, as leaders, to let people know that we are dealing with a very serious situation and the way people have been joking and taking this issue very lightly, we need to wake up and deal more seriously with it. I see my time is up. Otherwise, I thank the Committee for taking this initiative. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Wanyonyi, while Hon. Millie is upstanding you shall take your seat. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just go by the Standing Orders, if I am upstanding he has to be seated. However, is Hon. Wanyonyi in order to propagate this falsehood that every time that there is a matter brought here, that women are in New York? We know that every year there is something called the Commission on the Status of Women. We are not the ones who have not put up the commission on the status of men and we can lobby for them to have it. However, even when we have that, women are here. Therefore, ... view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I know there are Members who would like the debate to end with good reasons. However, when we are dealing with issues to do with treaties, they should indulge me because I am the one who introduced in this House the Bill that produced the Treaty Making and Ratification Act, which has ensured that Members debate and ratify treaties in this House. The Constitution provides that all treaties that are made in the country become part of the Kenyan laws, but it did not give Parliament the mandate to discuss them. ... view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would have wished we speak more strongly to the issue of security. Also the other issue that I know was not canvassed because people think it is not very important, but from a power relation, I wonder whether the Committee will address the issue of the naming, the Luigi-Broglio Malindi Space Centre. Why will it not be Malindi so that the power is primarily Kenya because it is actually situated in Kenya? Even naming has an impact and importance. view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support with reservations. view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support and thank the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for bringing it. The only thing is that I was a little worried when Hon. Chairman and Hon. Otiende were speaking as though they were sacrificing efficiency at the altar of speed or necessity. But having listened to their reasons, there are times you can do that. Especially when we know that we have the possibility of amending, should need arise. Therefore, I am persuaded. Ordinarily, I would not sacrifice justice or efficiency at the altar of speed. I know ... view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Sorry, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is not you who is out of order. I am the one who is out of order so I wanted to report myself. I am out of order because I really should have said this even in the earlier Session when the substantive Speaker was here. It is just to say a very big thank you to the Office of the Speaker and Parliament as a whole for giving us the opportunity as MPs who are interested the Jerusalema Challenge Initiative. Many people may not have understood. Some Members may not have actually understood ... view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: what we tried to do was to show that even as we are moving towards electioneering period, there is so much divisive politics. Politics is divisive in nature, but we wanted to demonstrate that we can still talk and listen to each other, and do politics devoid of violence even with those challenges. That was our theme because we are a bipartisan Parliament. I have noticed that a majority of the Members who participated in the challenge yesterday are not here today because it was extremely exhaustive. I want to thank the offices of the Speaker and the Leader of ... view
