• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I do not want to repeat what my Vice Chair has said. We technically agreed that hon. (Dr.) Pukose, who is a medical doctor and was also best placed to give the expert opinion of the medical doctors and gynecologists in the Departmental Committee on Health, to present. I would like to start by saying that I respect the fact that hon. Millie Odhiambo has come up with this Bill which is very emotional and if we do not understand the expert opinion, we can be viewed as being against it. ... view

• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: have one; it must be accompanied by all the others, including research. That is what the Health Bill has done. In Brazil, they call it Assisted Human Reproduction Act. It touches on all and not one. If we say that we amend then we will be re-writing this Bill. It is going to be completely different from what we have today. view

• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: With due respect to the Member and all women out there who would like to be assisted, I feel that it is also important that we look at what the other countries are doing and we fit in. We also need to look at what the Ministry of Health has worked so hard for, that is, the Health Bill. The Ministry has dedicated a whole chapter on matters of reproduction. In Bulgaria and Cyprus, they have a general law. In China, there is no law, but they allow IVF. We do not want to go that way. We are saying ... view

• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I want to continue with other countries. In United Kingdom, they call it the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act. In United States of America (USA), they view it as different levels of ART regulations within the State and the Federal level, but they do not have an IVF law. So, as we make the laws we need to understand that even we Members of the Committee are not experts in this. However, we are saying that this is needed, but not in the form that it is in. It should be given more time. We have engaged the hon. Member, ... view

• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: At the same time, we will also be required to go back to hon. Mutava’s Committee because talking about the authority is a money matter. That is not the big issue. The big issue is the ethical issues that we need to take care of. We need to provide the women of this country with a Bill which is more comprehensive, usable and acceptable even to the Ministry itself. It is not talking about the Ministry only; rather it is also about the professionals. It would be vital to adequately cater for life that comes into existence in these conditions ... view
