• 24 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to inform the Attorney-General that I was very actively involved in a programme that was sponsored by several development partners, including SIDA, which is called “Mainstreaming in Action”. What we were doing was mainstreaming the human rights of women, children and other marginalised groups. When you now see a woman involved in the construction of roads, it is not accidental. We fought for it to ensure that a woman can also be involved in the construction of roads, even if it means doing light work. We increasingly see that happening, and we think that ... view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I want to congratulate Dr. Monda for bringing this Bill which is timely. In supporting this Bill, I want to note that there are increased cases of cancer and, as a country, we need to do something to deal with it. Most of last week, I was in hospital visiting various people and, coincidentally, most of them had Cancer. One of them is a very good friend of mine who has championed breast health in this country, Mary. She was in hospital for most of last month. She ... view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important that this research be enhanced and be centred in a facility that actually looks at issues of cancer. We need to look at our plants that are of importance and value. Unfortunately, many people have taken advantage, and you find all manner of people coming up as herbalists. It has given a very wrong connotation to issues of plant genetic resources that are of value to mankind. view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: I know a friend of mine whose mother was diagnosed with cancer when we were young. She was discharged from Kenyatta National Hospital to die because there was no further possibility of treatment. This lady went to a woman who is known to have the cure for cancer in Tanzania. She was treated and the cancer completely disappeared. But when we talk about these issues, when we talk about them like fairy tale? This woman is still alive and existing. Why has the Kenyan Government not collaborated with the Tanzanian Government to find out what is it in this plant ... view

• 22 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Last week, I requested a Ministerial Statement from the Minister in charge of wildlife in relation to buffaloes and hippopotamus that were harassing people in Lambwe Valley. After I sought that Statement, one of the buffaloes was killed by the members of the public but another one was yesterday sighted in Ogongo. It is posing a serious threat to human life. In fact, the persons who found it were children. You will remember that the last time I sought the Ministerial Statement, the Minister was not here, but he is here now. ... view
