• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I know that the treatment of malaria is becoming more challenging because of the resistance. Every now and then, the various medicines that have been used are becoming more and more ineffective as the parasite becomes more and more resistant. For example, chloroquine, which used to be very cheap and easily available, is now no longer used because of resistance. Now, we are in a third generation and maybe going to newer generation medicine. So, I fully support the fact that research needs to be done especially by Kenyans and other African countries where malaria is ... view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: So, instead of duplicating institutions, I think we need to increase resources to already existing institutions so that finances and other expertise and more training of researchers is given more emphasis so that we get our own scientists to come up with solutions. I know that there is a lot of expertise in this field even among Kenyan doctors and researchers but I am sure they have to struggle for sponsorship from external sources and very little finances are given to these institutions and scientists to carry out independent researches and come up with local solutions to the menace of ... view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, so, I stand to encourage the sponsor of this Bill to think in terms of enhancing what is already there. The KEMRI is a reputable institution with very highly competent Kenyan professionals but who are at times working under sometimes very difficult conditions because of the resources that are availed to them. Therefore, instead of duplicating, we would rather finance researches and allocate adequate finance to research so that we are able to come up with better prevention methods and even eradication programmes, if possible. view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also like briefly to say that the issue of research should be taken seriously in this country. While we have a lot of competent professionals and scientists, their hands are tied because we do not allocate funds to them. I think it is high time that, we, as a country, thought of not just using what has already been researched on and found by other countries and being consumers of other people’s researches but creating innovativeness that is there within our professionals and scientists by financing and investing. It is interesting to note that ... view

• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this amendment. I just would like to ask the House to be very understanding to the sparsely communities because once this 40 plus rule applies, then many constituencies in the sparsely populated areas will collapse. Based on that, I beg to support this amendment. view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Members to support an amendment Motion, only to end up walking out? view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand here to support this document. view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Many speakers ahead of me had named people who contributed from early times to the struggle for the creation of a new Constitution. I stand here to mourn those people and areas affected by lack of a good Constitution. Due to human right practices in this country and a very powerful presidency, many marginalized communities were treated in an inhumane manner and many lost their lives. It is because of them that I stand here to support a new Constitution that will treat all Kenyans equally. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Shifta Movement treated Kenyans - those people who were ... view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to be very brief, to let this House and the nation at large know that there has been some news about cattle deaths in a holding ground near the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC). view
