• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: The Employment Act has not been implemented. It has literally been ignored and that is a major concern to all the local authorities in the country. There must be constant inspections to make sure that workers are treated as human beings. In this particular case, terminating 250 workers is destroying families in a very strange manner. We also note that employment in local authorities is conducted along tribal inclinations. A father, a son, a daughter, a brother and a sister are involved. That should not be allowed to happen. We need to make sure that employment in this country is ... view

• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity to very briefly contribute to this very historic Motion. This is a motion on the health of our people.

Our new constitution guarantees the Kenyan people the right to good health. Therefore, it is important that to make this nation productive, the Kenyan people must be healthy. Those advanced nations such as Israel and USA have invested ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: It is also important to note that cancer has continued to destroy families. The number of cancer victims in this country is increasing day by day. To show commitment and dedication and to wage a war and make sure that this country continues to advance in its social responsibility, there must be cancer facilities or branches in all the 47 counties. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is the best moment for this country to realize that objective. A lot of money has been misused through corrupt deals and impunity. The money has run into billions of shillings. These billions ... view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the good answer that has been given by the Attorney-General, could he in addition consider paying some interest on the dues accrued for the 18 years this claimant has continued to suffer? view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, reducing the numbers in this very important Authority is tantamount to weakening its functions. Therefore, I very strongly oppose the amendment and allow the current membership to remain. view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has confirmed that four people died as a result of this outbreak. What financial assistance has the Ministry extended to the immediate families who have lost their loves ones? view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hail the Deputy Prime Minister for the Statement that he has issued. Could he indicate to this House what measures the Government is taking to tame the rising Government expenditure, specifically the plans and the Ministries to be affected? view
