• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: We know, even in this House, that we have lost our own colleagues like Hon. Joyce Laboso and Hon. Ken Okoth to cancer. I was a very good friend of both of them, especially Hon. Joyce. I know the challenges she used to face even after she went into the first remission. I was also a very good friend of the late Mary Onyango who was a cancer champion and I also know the challenges she went through up to her last minute. It is, therefore, important especially in this era, as we have been taught by the COVID-19 Pandemic, ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I am also very happy that the Bill seeks the training of oncologists even at the county level. I know most of us, as Members of Parliament, come up with very good Bills, but in Kenya, the challenge is actually the implementation. We say it year, in year out. I want to encourage our governors and senators that instead of fighting over things that really do not help Kenyans, especially now, they should focus on things that really matter. Almost every hour or less, there is somebody probably dying of cancer. I do not have the correct statistics, but I ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: of being given death sentences, but when they got the support they needed, they lived an extra 20 years. So, what we do as a country to ensure access to the support that the patients need is what is important. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I also want to agree with Hon. Amisi about the issue of herbal medicine that we have not explored it duly. We know, for instance, that the Periwinkle of Madagascar has increased children’s chances of surviving Leukemia. In Kenya, I am sure if you use a lot of herbal medicines that we have, which are probably lying somewhere, we have not yet explored, we will find the cure for cancer and not just a medicine that will prolong life. view

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Unlike my friend, Hon. Jeremiah Kioni, who is waiting for 2022 to declare competence or otherwise of the Chair, I hereby declare that I have worked with the Chair for a long time and I know he is extremely competent even to serve as a governor. I am not under any duress to say so. He has done very well as the Chair. He has done extremely well as the MP. That is why he has been given the second chance. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report ... view

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Let me congratulate the Chairman and the Committee for this good job. I will just make brief comments. The Report looks at 48 State corporations. They have done their best in terms of looking at the corporations and accounting issues. There were just some issues that were standing out, some which other Members have spoken to. One was on the issue of need for titles for State corporations. This is a very big problem in the country, not just touching on State corporations but also touching on other public lands. When I got in as Member for Suba North, the ... view

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for indulging me. I will be very fast. We must find a way of dealing with co- mingling of funds. For instance, when different entities are dealing with Government funds, namely; counties, NG-CDF and other corporations. If one is building something, our counties are notorious for taking up an almost complete project that has been abandoned and complete it. The original building could have been done at Kshs20 million but they put in Kshs50 million in paper The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
