• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: a country, we have a duty to bequeath our children some values which have worked well for the community. Last evening, I was sharing a conversation with my little boy who will be turning six years by the end of the year. Just because he knows how to turn on a computer and use it and change channels in a TV, he thinks he is cleverer than those of us who do not know how to use it. If we had these values, then they would know education without values and character is not enough. You do not succeed as ... view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: respected and how our cultural days were conducted. Mzee Nyachae had one every year and I would wish to go back and hold the same. Through that, we pass values to our children. You do not read these things in books. The way we did our circumcision was something I treasure today, painful as it was. Indeed, it is one of the best things that ever happened to us who had an opportunity to undergo it. It made a huge difference between being a small boy and believing in oneself and doing what an adult is supposed to do. Those ... view
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to speak to the Motion. I want to thank Dr. Susan Musyoka for a well thought-out Motion. From the outset, I want to mention that we all perish due to lack of knowledge. Even the good Bible says: “My people are perishing due to lack of knowledge.” Coming up with an extra lane to be used by our ambulances ferrying patients to hospital is a noble idea. However, we are aware that we are living in a Third World country where resources are limited and we can only do this much. ... view
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Flying doctors should not be an option at this point in time. There is need to enable the private sector like Africa Air Rescue (AAR) Health Services who are doing a lot of good work out there. I know they have a corporate social responsibility. Sometimes they go out of their way to even ferry patients who cannot afford to pay for their services. Because they have an obligation to the community and all Kenyans, they have done it. There are many other institutions like African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) and St. John Ambulance which are doing noble work. ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to voice my opinion and support this timely Motion that has come to address the concerns of Kenyans, especially at this moment when we are going through very difficult times. Technology has come in handy and it can be used in both negative and positive ways. We are going to embrace technology for the good of the country and the safety of the people. In His word, God tells us that life is sanctified and, therefore, it should be protected at every opportunity that we have to do it. ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: takes to ensure the safety of the people who have been put under our care in terms of leading them. We all know that curbing insecurity is a concern for everybody else. It is not enough to have this technology in place and then sit back and say that we have done our part and so, the people of Kenya are safe and secure. We know that we need to do a lot of civic education to educate our people to understand that security starts with them. If we have somebody in the family whose behaviour is not understood, or ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Looking at the wording of Clauses 17 and 27, there is no harm whatsoever. In the interest of time, it is better that we delete Clause 17 and move on rather than go to Clause 27 then come back to Clause 17. That will cause a bit of confusion in the minds of Hon. Members. We might not save the time that we want. view
