Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought I was being helpful but if, indeed, I am not being helpful, then I am not aware.

21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, the only avenue I can use is the health professionals themselves; the Questions asked are specific to specific health institutions where health services are delivered. It will be unprofessional, on my part, to seek information from any other person other than from the medical practitioner, who performed either an operation or was involved in a case. It will be hearsay to involve other parties who are not professionally qualified to deal with life.

21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted to say something, but I was trying to feel the mood of the House. Nonetheless, my dear friend, hon. Ethuro, is right to talk very passionately about this issue. It is an issue of national importance. It is an issue that should be attended to very urgently. Mistakes have been made and I believe that all of us, as Kenyans, must pull together and ensure that we guarantee security and peace in our nation. I do not believe in a blame game because I do not believe that blame games will help anybody. I ...

2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would really like to second Sessional Paper No.3 of 2012 on Population for National Development. Statistics and population information is very important for planning for national development. Without a good knowledge of the demography of the country, its structure, geographical spread, the manner in which it uses space and its health status, we cannot plan effectively. Apart from the information that we get from demographic and health surveys, the Government cannot rely on any other data to help in planning for national

20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly:
Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to congratulate Augustino Neto Oyugi, Member for Ndhiwa Constituency, who waged a valiant struggle to capture that seat, amidst all kinds of propaganda and subterfuge. I must say that from his Maiden Speech, he promises to be an extremely fluent debater, focused and, indeed, constructive in this National Assembly. So, we look forward to adding one more jewel in the crown of ODM, in the person of Augustino Neto Oyugi. Karibuni. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support The Prevention of Terrorism Bill for the following reasons. ...

18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill, which I support, but I would like to make some observations on it. While contributing to this debate, hon. Mungatana made some observations on the provision for fines, and particularly fines on minor traffic offences and the penalty involving sending someone to prison for committing such offences. Whereas we want to make sure that people obey the traffic rules, we should not be too punitive, especially when it comes to serving prison terms. So, the point made by hon. Mungatana ...

18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to refer the House to page 1783 of the Bill, on restrictions to be put on motorcycles carrying more than two passengers. This is extremely important but there is another restriction which should be looked at very carefully. That is the restriction that says that passengers on motorcycles should only sit with each of their feet on either side. I have seen women being carried on motorcycles sitting sideways precisely because of the way in which they dress. Whereas I sympathise with women, it is extremely dangerous. I think this rule is extremely ...

28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to support my colleague and appeal to my dear friend, hon. Baiya, that the presence of the Permanent Secretary for the time being responsible for Finance is useful to the board. This is a training institution and, as you know, our training institutions will continue expanding. Given the demand in the production of a lot of human resource, they may even go into post graduate training of lawyers. This will require advice from the Permanent Secretary for the time being in charge of Finance for the financial implications of this. So, rather than ...
