• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: The national Government must give clear directives, so that county governments do not give piece-meal directions. This disaster is a national Government concern. Let the President be more decisive. We will not die if we do not go to weddings, churches and other places. He should say that people should not go to weddings, funerals and harambees . He should not encourage people because we do not have a tendency of obeying rules. That is why some Members who had travelled out of country came to the House. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I encourage us to stay safe and help the Government in dealing with this virus. view
• 12 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 12 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. From the outset, I support it because it is good. I also wish to note that there is a Member of the National Assembly who has brought a similar Bill. But I think it is under a different name - geriatric care - which basically is care of older persons. view
• 12 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Perhaps, one of the issues we need to speak to is ensuring whenever Members of the National Assembly and the Senate have similar Bills, there is a way of ensuring they harmonise the Bills and co-sponsor them. This essentially means that if this Bill passes then the one by the Member of the National Assembly who has put in so much work, will go to waste. As we speak, today there was a Bill by the Senate Health Committee on Reproductive Health Care going through public participation. I also have a Bill on reproductive health care with exactly the same ... view
• 12 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: title but the content is somehow different. If the Senate one passes, then mine collapses because the Senate has fewer people. In essence it will look like the Senate is working and we are not. I was not here when Suba North Constituency was ranked. I was surprised people were creating so much hullaballoo because some of us were given good ranking. People rank us all the time and one of the rankings done in the past about Members contribution in the House shows women Senators are much better than women MPs who are also doing excellent work. But because ... view
• 12 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I want to ask the Speaker’s Office to hasten and ensure there is harmony. I think this work should go to the Procedure and House Rules Committee. I even know Hon. Amos Wako has a Bill similar to one by a Member from here on public participation. Therefore, we need to harmonise so Members can co-sponsor. Sometimes this sacrifices Bills to the detriment of society. I brought an Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill in the last Parliament which was passed in this House. When it went to the Senate because there was the Reproductive Health Care Bill, they killed mine for ... view
• 12 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Despite the fact that we know there is a similar Bill in this House. I wish to support and congratulate the Hon. Member for bringing it. When the Mover was moving she said the public did not contribute and they relied on a public participation report from the Senate. I checked and did not see such a report. So, I want to encourage committees when doing serious work, to not just get reports from the Senate but go an extra mile and ensure public participation is done at their level. view
• 12 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: When promoting the Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill I mobilised the public to give their views even though they did not want to. This is because they usually complain a lot because of misinformation. This morning, I found a group raising placards against Hon. Esther Passaris, outside a certain church for bringing the Reproductive Health Care Bill and yet it was brought by Sen. Susan Kihika. So, the public should be up to speed. Otherwise, very soon we will say some people are bringing politics to legislation. It is unfortunate that a church was doing so out of ignorance. If it ... view
• 12 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: am old. Then suddenly it made me realise that those of us who are sitting here and we are talking about old people like we think is yonder… There is no yonder. You are the old one in this House. So stop thinking about old people like you think they are in another world. You are the ones who are old. I came to this Parliament when people used to call me young. I do not realise when I reach this point people are calling me old even though I am not old but middle aged. However, from their perspective ... view
