• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: I would like to support the Petition by my Member. He is from the Wiper Democratic Movement of Kenya (WDM-K). That is because it is important that, at this very hard time, peoples’ salaries be paid. But as the Committee looks at that Petition, it is important to note that, first and foremost, the system of Postal Corporation of Kenya — the issue of postage of letters and documents — is being overtaken by technological changes, the fear of biological warfare and things like Coronavirus. So, Hon. Deputy Speaker, that Corporation needs to start adjusting itself and moving on, so ... view
• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. You know the regulations have already been published. That in effect means that they are operational. I sit in the Committee on Delegated Legislation and – with your permission – we will be having meetings next week to talk to certain stakeholders that are raising concerns about the same regulations. However, what the Leader of the Majority Party has said is the right thing. One of the stakeholders that we should also be listening to is the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock. They can access the regulations and see how they affect what they ... view
• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, on this particular Report, I think it is important that he also investigates further the identification criteria for those who would qualify because that is one of the biggest problems that we face when people are identified to benefit from a Government programme and we are not sure how their names were picked. Secondly, the issue has been canvassed very well and the marketing of Kazi Mtaani by the Government has been very successful. That means every unemployed youth in every constituency believes that there is some money going to come to them from the Government. So, it ... view
• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. view
• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Most of the points of order we have had are points of argument. Maybe we could hasten our debates and then they can all get opportunity. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. You can tell the emotions on this matter. The Member is still talking. My contribution on this Report is as follows: First and foremost, we must understand that we are a capitalist nation and land is one of the factors of production. We must be careful when handling land matters, whether it is land disputes between individuals, businesses or between individuals and the Government. We must handle them soberly as the former Leader of the Majority Party has stated. After the promulgation of the new Constitution in 2010, we established the National Land Commission ... view

• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Amendment Bill by my colleague Hon. Mishra of Kesses. view
• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: My colleague says we take few minutes so that we can all get an opportunity. I think this is a brilliant idea because we are looking at ways of providing policy guidelines for referral of patients. What has been happening in the past is that anybody from anywhere chooses where to go, how to go and when to go. That is why it is important for us to come up with a policy. I would like to point out a few things which, maybe, we need to look into. The first one, which I agree with, is that it is ... view
• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: The other issue is this: You said that we have to ensure that these facilities that they go to have adequate facilities, personnel and medicaments. But then you still propose that we use the Kenyan embassies abroad to be the ones that determine whether they are capable. I do not know whether they really have the capacity to do that. I think it is important that you align that. Kenya has this slogan: Buy Kenya, build Kenya. If we encourage people to be referred to external hospitals, then we are killing the country. We need to improve our infrastructure and ... view
