• 27 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: This is one man who knew that the country was in need of this leadership. He was not such an insecure leader. He was such a consultative man. He always gave people permission to serve in respective ministries. When you listen to those who served with him, they tell you that they would go to him to consult for advice and see how best to improve this country. To talk less or even more about this man is the massive infrastructure we enjoy in this country. People talk of Thika Road. But go even to the villages and you will ... view

• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have been in this House throughout. Listening to all the contributions, I realise that we are repeating the same things about empowerment, registration of our youth, et cetera. I have been consulting with the Mover, and he says he has enough information on how he can improve on this Bill to assist our young people. Looking at the mood of the House, and rising under Standing Order No.95, I request that you call upon the Mover to reply. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the Health (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 14 of 2021) be read a Second Time. The main objective of this Bill is to amend the Health Act (No. 21) of 2017 to provide the national Government and the county governments a room for consultation through existing intergovernmental relationships so that they establish regional cancer centres. We all agree that cancer is the third leading disease in the world. It is causing many problems in our villages because most of the patients are very innocent or green. We go ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: every county the way I had proposed earlier. These centres can save many perishing lives. If screening of cancer is done early, medics in this House can confirm, there are better chances of people surviving. Whenever the screening is done when a person has gone to the very late stage, the chances of survival are minimal and the costs that are involved in treatment are quite high. New research is indicating that new signs or cases of cancer are emerging. With research in our regions, we are likely to curb this menace in our society. The Bill also seeks to ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill does not in any way delegate legislative powers, neither does it limit fundamental rights and freedoms of any citizen. The Bill concerns county governments in terms of Article 110(1) of the Constitution as it affects the functions and powers of the county governments as set under part two of the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution. I wish to bring to your attention that the enactment of this Bill will definitely occasion additional expenditure of public funds. However, even if money is going to be involved in this Bill, in Section 5 of No. 21 ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: stabilise the patient and make arrangements for a referral commits an offence. I will be making proposals on the kinds of offences. With the recommendations and input of this House on this Bill, I will appreciate if we get it right on this Bill and ensure that our public hospitals and medical officers work. Medical officers do a lot of work. At times when you go to the reception of public hospitals, you are handled by subordinate staff who may not understand the conditions of a patient. We may end up losing a life. For the purpose of Section 7, ... view
• 30 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I wish to support this Bill. I have had time to interact with the sponsor of this Bill, Hon. Osotsi, and I know the hard times he has gone through to come up with some of the proposals in the Bill. We regard him as a professor in the Committee; and I hope he will be one because he is a professional in this field. This is one area that has been abused. We all agree that the ICT profession is one discipline that cuts across. I remember that we had ... view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I support the Pensions (Amendment) Bill. It is coming at a time when many Kenyan retirees are living undesirable lives. Today as I stand here, I have several names of retirees on my phone who I need to check the status of their pension here in Nairobi. Sometimes, my Personal Assistant (PA) is involved in this exercise from morning until evening without getting any response. I want to congratulate my friend, Hon. Barasa, for coming up with the Pensions (Amendment) Bill. With this Bill, we shall specify the timelines on how ... view
