• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Githunguri Constituency has a total population of about 150,000. As a matter of fact, there is not a single doctor posted by the Government anywhere within the constituency. The nearest facility which would actually help the people is Githunguri Medical Health Centre. Why has the Ministry delayed upgrading that facility into a district hospital? For your information, there was, indeed, a doctor there. Recently he was transferred to become a Medical officer of Health (MoH) in Kiambu. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is already a pending application for upgrading of this facility into a district hospital. There is already a maternity wing which is serving over 60 mothers per month. There are no facilities there. It is the Ministry which is actually supposed to help upgrade it to the next level in order to serve all the people who are coming from there. What concrete promises is he giving to help upgrade the centre, so that it can also have a doctor and the other facilities? view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to oppose this Motion. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for defending the rights of those with contrary views, more so on a matter as important as this one, which relates to the leadership of Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. I only wish to state quite clearly that the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs appointed by this House did deliberate on this matter and filed a report. At that time the Report was unanimous; we are still of the view that the candidates who are the subject of the approval Motion today are--- view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can take on board that correction, and at the same time simply point out that there was a majority decision. This is a very important Commission as far as the fight against corruption is concerned. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what I am saying is that the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission is a very important institution as far as implementation of Chapter Six of the Constitution is concerned, on leadership, integrity and ethics. The persons seized of leadership of this Commission require to also demonstrate by their past careers that they will rise to those standards. The person who is sought to be approved as the chairperson has had an illustrious career in the past as it was presented. Evidence has been presented before this House. There are issues that touch on his performance that also ... view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is evidence that was adduced during the Motion that was in support of the Report of the Committee of the House and it is already part of the records of this House. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there was a report that was tabled in this House supporting the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs Report and accompanying the same day there was an affidavit that was tabled before this House by Dr. Khalwale who is right here. That evidence had also been received in the Committee and--- view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am saying that I would urge my colleagues that whereas the majority may have their day, it is also important to allow the minority to have their say. That is the way to carry this country forward. There is already evidence on record touching on the integrity of the first nominee who is sought to be vetted and this will not augur well at all as far as the responsibilities he is about to undertake are concerned. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not referring to the report as such. I am only referring to the record. I am only seeking to rely on the record that was exhibited here. It was not expunged! There was only a vote against the recommendations the Committee was making. To that extent, that evidence remains part of the record. But basically what we are literally trying to say is that the Committee has spoken. This is a very unusual situation where Parliament has assigned a Committee or Departmental Committee a responsibility and then makes a decision that cuts across the recommendations ... view
