• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Let me move to the arena of blockchain technology. If we do not have an enabling law, blockchain technology has the capacity of bankrupting our nation flat. We saw such examples in the 11th Parliament when we debated the betting laws. We slapped hefty taxes on them. The money in blockchain technology in Kenya will be earned in Kenyan shillings, but the people who invest in such an industry live abroad. So, what do they do when they are appropriating money out of this country? It leaves at a click of a button in foreign currency, which we only earn ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I urge the House that, as we go through the Committee of the whole House of this Bill, we all need to be here because it is not about us as individuals. It is about the security of the nation and about our entire posterity. It relies on this because this is our next frontier for this country and its competitiveness. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I thank you for your indulgence. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to make a contribution about what the Member for Kaiti had mentioned about the adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in our syllabus, provision of adequate resources and the general development. This must be one of the issues which Hon. Tiren mentioned about agriculture and fertiliser. If we have a database which is ably developed and percolation of ICT within every single locality, we would see a lot of tracing of the possible damages towards food security in this country. It is important for our bread basket, ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order. I think the Leader of the Majority Party is out of order. In this House, we contribute on statements of facts. It is only fair that we have fair administrative action. You cannot use the Floor of the House to prosecute people who are not here, especially those who are professionals and are serving, to defend themselves. Prof. Magoha is serving yet you are mentioning him and his son on the HANSARD. A lot of the things that the Leader of the Majority Party says are pretty weighty and are taken seriously out there. You ... view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: It is about statement of fact. We are led by rules in this House. The Leader of the Majority Party cannot be bashing doctors endlessly who cannot defend themselves on the Floor unless he has something substantial to table against Prof. Magoha or the son. Let him present it here so that we can interrogate a report that indicts specifically those particular people. Otherwise, he should withdraw those statements. view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I want to continue from where Hon. Sankok has left about intention. The medical profession is indeed one of the most sacred professions in this country because it deals with the human capital. People recognise that by the time you are going to hospital, your life is in grave danger. We are all members of society. I support the Report that was ably moved by the Chair, and which has articulated specific issues of concern at KNH. We have, indeed, seen that there is systemic ... view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: that needs a lot of attention and we should not condemn carte blanche the work that has been done without looking at the thousands of people that go into that institution day-in day-out and indeed come out healed. It is bad to condemn carte blanche the work done by KNH without looking at the statistics. Many people still exhibit a lot of confidence in that hospital because they go there, get treated properly and get healed. In the event that there is failure, they exercise professionalism and advise people to seek further attention. I had a case of a sick ... view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: On reference to Prof. Magoha, the country and, indeed, this House, needs to register its appreciation because of his professional conduct, in saying that he had to recuse himself from that particular case because the doctor involved was his son. If he had not declared his interest, the country would have never known that it was his son we were dealing with. At no point did Prof. Magoha or his son advertise that he was a son of a renowned surgeon and as such he needed to be there to operate on that patient. At no point was that never ... view
