• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: me take this opportunity to send my condolences to the people of Nduru, Lambwe and Suba North in general. However, in a very special way, the reason why I am raising this point of order is because tragedies do not respect orders. I will later be raising a more substantive issue. I request the Government to assist. I know there are people who are already helping with the rescue. I ask the Government to help us because as people of the lake, those who die are buried immediately their bodies are recovered. The Government can help us to assist the ... view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity and indulging me. Before I make my request, I just wanted to indicate that there is erroneous belief or information that the Waqf Bill is about Muslims. It largely affects Muslims, but my reading tells me that even non-Muslims can create a Waqf. So, we should refrain from that notion that it is something to do with Muslims. It is also to do with us and I have brought amendments to the Bill. Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 44(2)(c), I rise to request a Statement from ... view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Again, this is not the first one. There was one that resulted in several deaths. It is about the time when the late Senator Otieno Kajwang’ was there. We have some that will result in fatalities of one or two people, but sometimes we have very many. view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: I can see Hon. Mbadi is trying to remind me of others. Hon. Speaker, you probably may give him an opportunity if he so wishes. I am not hearing him. I am just urging the Committee Chair if he could please give a response so that, in instances like this, there should be an agency that is stationed in every beach to help in rapid rescue so that people do not wait. Like in this instance, they died a few metres away from the shore. Those who could swim were able to swim ashore. Those who could not swim died ... view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Let me thank Hon. Pukose for bringing this Bill. As he was moving, I was a little concerned initially because I thought he meant that there is no a legislative framework, but he clarified that, indeed, there is a legislative frame work only that he is seeking to make it better, which is a good thing. If there is one thing that we Kenyans have, then it is a very strong legislative framework. However, our challenge is usually on the implementation. Therefore, I would want to encourage us, as ... view

• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: it is an issue of standardisation so that our products are not trusted just within but also outside the country. I was worried that we have not provided for one category that is significant. I have seen that we have made provision for herbal medicine. If you look at the medicines that are used for all manner of treatments, most of them are herbal. If you ask our forefathers, which you do not even need to… Even our parents know that we would be struggling with very major diseases that conventional medicines cannot cure. All that your grandmother tells you ... view

• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have been consulting and presume this is the Social Assistance Bill. view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am very reluctant to support the repeal of this Bill and I have told the Leader of the Majority Party who was trying to persuade me otherwise. So, I might consider supporting him reluctantly. The reason why I am not very eager to support the repeal is that this Act has in itself never been operationalised.
