• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to be honest with you. I have contributed to this Motion. My request is for the next Motion. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I also join my colleagues in thanking Hon. Janet Nangabo for bringing this critical Motion touching on the lives and dignity of women. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Obstetric fistula is the most devastating and serious of all childbirth injuries. It is a human rights issue. Obstetric fistula is a hole between the vagina and the rectum or the bladder, which causes leaking of urine and sometimes faeces. This is caused by obstructed or prolonged labour of like seven days or more. It is caused by neglected labour or sometimes labour that is left unattended, which in itself is negligence and demeaning of a human being. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Fistula occurs among women who give birth without proper medical care, coupled with some traditional practice such as FGM and early marriages. This is an issue that is very common in areas like Isiolo County where I come from, where women have to trek kilometres to access even a small health centre.

• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I have encountered in the last one year women who have been chased away from their homes by their husbands who are supposed to give them love and care just because of a special condition which is not of their making. Therefore, I am contributing to this Motion with a very heavy heart. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Having said that, we also appreciate the Government of Kenya for some positive steps it has taken to improve the reproductive and maternal welfare of women. However, I believe much needs to be done. I am proposing, on top of what Mheshimiwa Nangabo is proposing, that the Government needs to come up with strategies to improve maternal healthcare to make sure that patients have access to information, so that they can make an informed decision such as where they can go for their post-natal and ante-natal care. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Further, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has developed an important recommendation for clinical management of fistula as well as programmes to address issues of fistula prevention and rehabilitation. However, Kenya has not adopted this recommendation. I, therefore, propose that the Government develops and implements a national fistula strategy in accordance with WHO. I also urge the Government to carry out awareness programmes that raise information to the public. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Lastly, there is the community midwifery model to cover the whole county and to address the payment of those midwives who are the traditional birth attendants. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, I support. Thank you. view
