• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. While I support this Motion, I am just going to hospital. My father is also suffering from the same, though he is 90 years old. I thank Hon. Wanga for bringing this Motion. However, I want Kenyans to know the causes of cancer. Sometime back, we used to be told that cancer is a disease of the white man. However, it is now everybody’s disease. When you look at our rivers and environment, we see heavy metals discharged from the sewer systems from our cities. That water goes downstream. Many Kenyans and people from ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is high time that, as Kenyans and leaders of this country, we addressed corruption. It is not just about corruption. It is about our lives. Cancer is emanating from the proceeds of corruption. We do not even know where the Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are coming from. We do not know where the eggs that are brought to this country are coming from. Even the Kenya Bureau of Standards is not functioning. We should not be asking ourselves where cancer is coming from. We know where it is coming from. On top of the proposal ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On training of oncologists, most of the county hospitals, levels 5, 4 and 3 do not have professionalism. We could give them those machines, but are we training them? We might be killing our own Kenyans in the name of training them in those Level 5 hospitals. The Ministry of Health must be tasked to have professionals handling those patients. We now have a trickle- down effect from oncologists to the home care givers. It is going to be very easy. We need to manage cancer more than thinking of treating it. Treating it is very expensive. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: In the last three months, I have lost more than five people. We have, in the process, got other doctors who are exploiting Kenyans. I do not want to mention them, but there is Texas Cancer Centre, among others. If you take your patients there, you are taking them to the grave. We need to regulate even the doctors who are claiming to cure cancer or who claim to be professionals in that sector. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I support this Motion and I hope the nation will listen to it. This should not just be a Motion like any other, it should be implemented immediately. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much for giving me this chance. I support. view
• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, given that most functions like heritage and culture are taken care of in the Traditional Knowledge and Cultural Expressions Bill, I support the proposed amendment by the Chairman of the Committee. view
• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to shed some light on this Bill. It is a good Bill, but it will be implemented in consultation with the county governments. My concern is that a county can have many cultures. For example, a county can have more than four cultures. Some cultural practices can be stepped on or put down. view
• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I wish this could remain a national function because some county governors are moronic and idiotic. We cannot entrust them with the cultures of our people even though the people live in those counties. I come from Machakos County. When we have an arrogant governor, there is no way he can respect the Maasai, Kikuyu and Luo communities living in Machakos County. With due respect to the Chairman, I would like some of the clauses urging that the Bill be implemented, in consultation with the county governments, amended. I will bring further amendments to the same Bill. view
