• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Much obliged, Hon. Speaker. The KNH is a key health facility not just in Kenya but in the whole of East Africa. It is indeed regrettable that we had a surgery mix-up at KNH and I wish to apologise to all Kenyans affected by the news and particularly to the affected patients and families. It is good that the Report recommends that the patients be compensated for the physical and psychological distress that the mix-up caused them. Hon. Speaker, KNH is a referral hospital, meaning that it should be attending to patients who have been referred to it from other ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: problem in all referral hospitals and in fact a number of patients end up sleeping on the floor, something that nobody should go through. The Report shows that the nurse on duty on the night of the mix-up was overwhelmed with work and having few nurses attending to the patients and still attending to inquiries. This is a key challenge in our hospitals where the medical staff available are inadequate to observe the patients. Doctors and nurses are few in hospitals and usually are overworked. More doctors, nurses and even support staff should be employed by the Government to ensure ... view

• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I am impressed that this Bill requires all public service vehicles operating wholly or partly within the metropolitan area to conform to national standards and specifications by Authority. I am in the matatu business and I know exactly what happens in this town. Many accidents are occasioned by the poor state of vehicles. For example, an old vehicle that is out of shape may operate on our road and at times, brakes fail or some other part and it ends up causing an accident. Sometimes, the drivers give the turnboys the vehicle to drive and that causes many problems in ... view
• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority Bill, 2017 also requires drivers of the public vehicles to be well trained and acquire a certificates as prove of professionalism. This professionalism will ensure that Kenyans are driven by safe hands. With sufficient training and examination of drivers, we can expect zero accidents due to reckless driving by unqualified drivers. view

• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to pass my heartfelt condolences to the family of our departed governor. It has been a heart-wrenching morning for those of us who have been working with him. The news of his demise has shaken us to the core. I appeal to all hon. Members to pray for his family so that they may find strength in the Grace of God as they move through this dark period of time. Let us also pray for Nyeri County so that God may hold our hands and guide us. Let us be still and know that ... view
