Considering the report that has been filed, this is a nominee who has no pending integrity issues. He is a nominee who has equally not been convicted by any court of law. This is a nominee who is prepared to meet the challenges within the Prisons Service, in particular the question of congestion in our prisons which you will find everywhere. After the approval and subsequent appointment of this nominee, we expect that he will travel across the country so that he can see for himself what is happening to our prisons and seek ways in which he can improve ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I rise to support the Bill. In supporting this Bill, I want to begin by saying that, indeed, the culture and traditions of various societies are a way of life and are so rich that if they are well utilized, they can serve as a source of income.

Communities have been defined in Clause 2 of the Bill and if you look at it, you realize that various communities have their way of doing things right from birth through marriage to death. There are so many things that are attached to the rights of passage that I believe, if they are taken seriously, this country will go a long way. In the community that I come from, we have tried in terms of preservation of those cultures. My community is rich in what we call kayas . If today you had the occasion to visit

, you will realize where some of those things that are attached to our communities are found. We have had so many people visiting those areas. We have had the tourists that Members have spoken about. They have, on so many occasions, visited our kayas and they have been impressed. We only need to formalize them so that they can serve the people. Hon. Deputy Speaker, what attracts me in this Bill are the provisions of Clause 4 and Clause 5 of the Bill, which talk about the roles of the county and national Government. If the county and national ...

we see it happening that a good number of counties within our Republic have organized cultural weeks. They have also gone ahead to promote cultures. Several weeks ago, my own Governor hosted a very big group of local musicians. Some of the issues that have been defined as traditional practices here include our local songs. So, those are very important steps. The only thing that we probably need to do is to have enough funding to ensure that emphasis is given on such activities.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I cannot conclude without speaking to Clause 38 and Clause 39 of this Bill. The problem that has affected progression of our traditional practices and knowledge is the question of protection by our law. So, you now realize that a holder, as defined under Clause 2 of this Bill, is capable of instituting civil action and taking somebody to court for having infringed a particular right. Those are very important developments in the law. Clause 39 of this Bill talks about the remedies that are available to any person who goes to court. These remedies include questions ...

Suala la afya kwa Jamhuri yetu ya Kenya, kama vile wengi tunavyofahamu ni kwamba, baada ya kupitisha Katiba yetu mwaka wa 2010, iliweza kuweka uongozi mara mbili, kwanza kwa Serikali Kuu na pili kwa serikali ya ugatuzi. Masuala ya kuwafundisha na labda kuwaongeza ujuzi ndio masuala ambayo yamewekwa katika Serikari Kuu. Serikali gatuzi imewekewa yale masuala mengine ikiwa ni hospitali, zile zahanati ndogo ndogo na pia yale masuala yanayohusu afya.

Katika kuchangia Hoja hii, ni kweli kuna masuala mengi sana ya dharura ambayo yanahitaji kuangaliwa kwa kina. Tumeona watu wetu katika Jamhuri ya Kenya wakipoteza maisha yao kwa sababu kwanza, ya ukosefu wa vifaa vizuri katika hospitali hizi na pili, pia matibabu ambayo yanastahili ndio waweze kuepuka maafa.

Nikichangia Hoja hii, nitaangalia mambo mawili. Kwanza, hata kabla tuzungumze kuhusu kuleta mafunzo kwa wale wahudumu ambao wanastahili kututibu katika hospitali zetu, ni lazima tuangalie ikiwa hospitali zetu ziko na vile vifaa ambavyo vinahitajika. Baadhi ya masuala ambayo yanatokezea kwa dharura mashambani, utapata kwamba baadhii ya zile hospitali ambazo ziko kule hazina vifaa ambavyo vinastahili, na ambavyo vinaweza kushughulikia masuala ya dharura. Ndio maana wakati mtu anapoumia, wakati ambao hali za kighafla zinatokea, vile wanavyopelekwa ni rahisi kupoteza maisha yao.
