• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: riders are getting involved in sexual activities with school girls. It is important that we leaders support them in terms of ensuring that they are properly trained and that they have an insurance cover. We encourage the police to be patient with Members of Parliament, especially those who are assisting the boda boda riders.

• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also rise to seek a clarification from the Chair. Is there proper monitoring and evaluation to ensure that the most needed services are given to the people with albinism? I am asking this because I am aware that this matter is being handled within KEMSA, which is under the Ministry of Health. Are there proper consultations within the Ministry of Health to ensure that this product is given to the people who badly deserve it? view

Members and for those which require further information, we will request to be given time so that we can seek further information from the Ministry. The first question by hon. Serem is why we are still flying to Nigeria and yet other three identified flights have been suspended. I would like to point out, and this question has been asked by several Members, that the Ministry is targeting passengers and not the airlines only. This is because if ... view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to make reference to a public statement that was made by the Cabinet Secretary for Health. This is a contingency fund and it is from our emergency kitty. As a country, we cannot say that we give this bill to Kenya Airways.

This fund is meant to ensure that we are properly protected. There is the contingency plan ... view
