• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: which can arise. A Committee from the two Houses of Parliament sat together and found that there are real problems. They came up with solutions, but they are short-term. There is the issue of the 15 per cent, which is being referred to a referendum. There is nobody who is saying referendum is not good. Referendum is good. I am waiting for it. Some of us have a problem with the constitutional provision that one should get 50 per cent plus one vote of the total vote cast in order to be declared the winner of a presidential election. We ... view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you. I think our Committee has no sense of taking us back to the old days. What we are fighting for is the lives of the people of Kenya. The health of this country is paramount. We know that we fought for devolution and it is there to stay. When we were going round the country visiting some of the hospitals, we found out how our people were suffering. Some of the hospitals do not even have drugs and yet, here in Parliament, we are budgeting and allocating monies for our hospitals that are not performing. We ... view

What they did is that they went to the Executive and forced it to give them powers to take over everything since they wanted to control all the monies. It is high time that the Government listens to ... view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On the matter of distribution of drugs, I think the best distribution center for drugs in this country is Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA). That is the only way we can control drugs and avoid giving our people chalk. If we allow everybody to distribute drugs to our hospitals, we shall be going back to the old days of corruption. Let KEMSA perform its duties. It was created because there were problems. Why do you want to go back? A law does not come just like that. When God came up with the Ten Commandments, he had problems with people ... view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take this chance to support this Bill which has been brought by my colleague, hon. Sang, at the right moment. I think this Bill will help us, people who are not trained. It is a very important Bill, especially at this time when most of us are suffering from lifestyle diseases, bodaboda accidents and so on. The other issue is that this Bill will help in easing congestion in our hospitals. It is high time the Government thought of taking physiotherapists to our dispensaries. After treatment, patients are sent to the villages and ... view
