• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we did budget Kshs6 million to buy a new machine for Thika District Hospital. As soon as this money is made available to us, then we shall decommission the machine because it is costing the Ministry too much to keep on repairing it. As I said, we spent Kshs397,197 on 3rd August, 2010, and the machine has already broken down. I agree with the hon. Member of Parliament that we need to buy a new machine. As I said, the money was put in the Budget and as soon as it is made available to us, ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion as amended. I have listened very carefully to Members who have contributed to this important Motion. However, I would like to appeal that we maintain the dignity of this House. We sit at a very important historical moment of our nation. We are doing very important work of making a final decision view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: on three very important people in our judicial system who were recommended by the two Principals of this nation. Let us look back at this process and learn something. The vetting system, as is being practised in Kenya today, is new, but is an important achievement of our Constitution, for which national patriots have struggled and shed blood over the years. For some of us, we celebrate this moment; it is very gracious and very humble to the Kenyan people, who finally voted this Constitution to be the foundation of our Republic. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: So, as we start this system, let us, as a House, handle it with the dignity that the people of Kenya expect of us. One thing I want to say is that we should learn that the process of vetting needs some attention. Some of the issues raised in the Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee of Parliament should actually have been raised in the earlier Judicial Service Commission process, which received curriculum vitae of all the people who had been shortlisted. When it comes to the Parliamentary Committee, it is already in the process of confirmation. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: If you look at the practice in the USA Congress, you will appreciate that when it comes to confirmation, the Congress is given the opportunity to examine the individuals and satisfy itself that, indeed, the process has been followed, and applicants are qualified to hold those offices. It is something which is done with sobriety, without appeal to political party affiliation, or affiliation to any interest group. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what we have done in this House, which is very unfortunate, is to begin segmenting hon. Members into compartments either in terms of social origin or in terms of ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: General of ODM – that we never held any PG meeting to whip our Members to hold any one particular view. We left it to the conscience of every individual. This, indeed, must go down in history. With those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the Bill and join my friend, hon. Martha Karua, in emphasizing the importance of this Bill. We are dealing with extremely important independent offices, whose appointments and rating are important. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: At a later date in the life of this Parliament, I would like to bring a proposal to the House that we establish a Health Services Commission for this nation. You will realise that one of the fundamental rights of Kenyans is to have access to free and affordable healthcare. Further, every county government will be duty bound to provide this care. When we bring a Bill to this House, the House will realise the importance of the proposal that was made to make the health services commission one of the commissions of Article 248 on the Commissions and Independent ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Since Members of Parliament have all contributed, could it be in order to call upon the Mover to reply? view
