• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: That Motion should be stepped down. It should not even be discussed. view

• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had indicated that I support the Health Laws (Amendment) Bill, but I will be supporting it with proposed amendments by the Committee. I had indicated some of the reasons why I was supporting the Bill. The Bill seeks to amend 17 pieces of legislation relating to the health sector and they include: a) The Pharmacy and Poisons Act; b) The Mental Health Act; c) The Medical Practitioners and Dentists Act; d) The Nurses Act; e) Kenya Medical Training College Act; f) The National Hospital Insurance Fund Act; g) The Medical Laboratory Technicians and Technologists Act; ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: it was enacted as a Government policy by the House but sometimes you see the Government not even adhering to constitutional standards, yet it keeps referring to the Mwongozo Code of Governance as though it is the Constitution. There are certain constitutional principles that are way more important than a Government policy. I do not think that the Mwongozo Code of Governance is bad in itself, but it must adhere to certain constitutional standards such as inclusion of the civil society, gender, persons with disabilities and regional balance, some of which are included. One issue of concern to me is ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. When calling for public participation, can we include the 17 pieces of legislation? You could find a person who is not interested in the Pharmacy and Poisons Act, but is interested in the NHIF Act. However, when they see the Health Laws (Amendment) Bill, they get confused because many people think we are amending the Health Act which they may not be interested in. Nurses may not be interested in the amendment of the Health Act, but they may be interested in the amendment of the Nurses Act. Going forward, perhaps we need to very specifically ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to support this Bill. They do excellent work, especially for reproductive healthcare for women who are about to give birth. They are the first line of response. I have just seen that Bill Gates has written about how we can stop the next pandemic or pandemics. Part of the issues he raises in his forthcoming book is that there are innovations and ways that we can do it. What you can see from COVID-19 is that you do not even need to go far. He mentions that we can invest in healthcare, ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank the Committee and at the outset say that one of the reasons I will support this nominee is she is a woman. I am saying so because I heard the Mover of the Motion saying that we should not just be appointing people because either they are women or youth. I want to indicate that constitutionally, that is a reason to actually appoint a person because she is a woman or youth or a PWD. Our Constitution is clear under Article 27. That, the State ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: service and they are the ones who take care of us, how do we expect them to take care of themselves? Sometimes we think that they are very complex issues affecting the police, but sometimes they are very basic issues of bread and butter. I would like to encourage her that as soon as she takes up office, that is the first thing she needs to look at because it is not just about MPs. We have other people in this country that are suffering including the police. For the graduate police who are not getting their dues, who are ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: I also want to encourage the Government to take very seriously an issue that is emerging which appears to be extrajudicial killings. I will not say authoritatively because I do not know yet but when we find bodies floating in rivers and we discover that some of them are actually police officers, that is really scary because if the ones who protect us are getting killed and are swept downstream in rivers, how safe are we? I encourage that we look at the cause of the killings that even involve police officers. view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Finally, as the Leader of the Majority Party indicated, this is a very straight forward matter, I wish Hon. Sankok were here because he alluded or made disparaging remarks against Hon. (Dr.) Matiang’i. We should not use the podium or the Floor of the House to cast aspersions on persons who are not in a position to defend themselves. Hon. (Dr.) Matiang’i is not mental. You may disagree with him, but he is not mental. He is doing his duty as per the Constitution. If you do not agree with him, raise the matter in a constitutional way by bringing ... view
