• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think we should not be seen to be more discriminative, particularly in the process of doing a Bill like this. We have maintained a standard and we should not try to give some special preferences to some specific positions. What am I saying? Let the minimum qualification, as we have maintained throughout the Bill, be a degree. If you have a Master’s degree or a PhD, that is an added advantage. We should not be seen to be preparing some ground for some individuals wherever they are. That is a dangerous trend. For ... view

• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Just like my colleagues have said, this is an independent arm of Government. There is a continuous attempt by the Judiciary not to accept the independence of Parliament because some of the decisions which we make do not please them. The Committee followed the procedures which are laid down. A nominee or any other person did not come forward to say that he would not come for vetting for certain reasons. They kept mum and somebody proceeded to the High Court and filed an injunction. For how long will we work with this kind of thing? view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I recognise and respect the High Court and the Judiciary in entirety. However, the procedures that govern the good order of doing business have not been followed in this case. We miss a section of the way we do business. This Committee followed the procedure which has been set. Therefore, having exhausted all the mechanisms, they came up with their Report, which I support. It is very unfortunate that the Judiciary seems to take control of almost everything. I see Hon. Kajwang’ there. I know that he is part of the Law Society of Kenya. He is a very senior ... view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: person I have respected for many years. They need to stand with this House because this is where they spend most of their time. They will be much more remembered for being here than out there. I ask the legal fraternity in this House to take the first step of defending the independence of Parliament. By so doing, we will restore our responsibilities very carefully and strategically. view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Lawyers are very intelligent people. They take LSK and manoeuvre their own ways. I am not a lawyer. Therefore, I will not contribute so much. I am talking about the deletion of that item. The proposed Report is good for the sake of order because we cannot kill ourselves. I support the Committee’s Report. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. The issues on this Report can be grouped into four: the overcrowding of Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH); a continuous trend of under-funding; serious shortage of staff; and, obsolete and old equipments. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The KNH has success cases, but due to these observable situations it has continued to render what has been found in the Report as sub-standard services. Whereas, I agree with the Report, we should not lose sight of the case studies emanating from the KNH and which have been identified as some of the best in the world. The notion created by some Members that the student registrars could be incompetent is not correct. They are suffering as a result of long hours of working. To render good service to everybody, this House should recognise the good work these people ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there are two Members who were shouting, as I spoke. They have taken one of my minutes. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. There is no concrete evidence which has been laid before this House to prove that the doctors were grossly incompetent. What has come out is that they are working long hours. Since human is to error, it could have forced the accident to occur. So, we need to urge for proper funding of the Hospital. There are issues to do with management and the overseeing board. My statement is that we need to restructure the board. We cannot comprehensively state – and it has not come out from the Report – that the board is incompetent ... view
