The late Hon. Wakapee, as we commonly called him, suffered for a long time from cancer. During the last Parliament, there was a time he was out of the country for close to a full year. When he came back to Kenya, he invited me to lunch and told me: „My brother, I believe that my problem is over. I have been treated by the best of the best, and so, I have no doubt that I have recovered from the scourge of cancer that has been afflicting me.‟ Little did the late Hon. Waititu know that it was still ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we mourn our departed colleague, cases of cancer in the country that were so much highlighted in the last couple of years are not largely forgotten. We do not hear anybody in the Committees on Health of both Houses or even the Ministry of Health paying attention, at least publicly, to the scourge of cancer, which continues to be a major killer of many Kenyans. Something has to be done. We have gone through many investigations and reports about equipment that is supposed to help Kenyans, but we continue losing very valuable lives. If MPs are ...

As we continue to lose colleagues in the manner that we have lost the MP for Juja Constituency, it is a reawakening to this country on the state of the health sector all over the country. You will all remember that we buried the late MP for Matungu Constituency just because there was no oxygen available in the nearest health institution. I am sure that many more Kenyans have lost their lives due to lack of such basic equipment in hospitals. Health is a devolved function, but most of what we can talk about are just buildings. In those buildings, ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This Statement is very important and this House should support it fully. There are many children who fall in the hands of criminal benefactors who come in the name of adoption, running children‟s homes and appearing like they have come to help our children from poor families. They however end up turning into pedophiles.

Along the Coast, in areas like Watamu and Malindi in particular, where Sen. Madzayo represents, we have many people from Europe who come ostensibly to settle. They have been exposed once in a while by the media as running rings and chains of abusive conduct to young children; girls of 10 years, 11 years up to 13 year and 14 years of age.
