• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: That is why this is a timely Motion because it proposes to have blood transfusion centres in every sub-county. It proposes to have--- view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. There is need for these proposed blood banks and ICUs to be established in every sub-county. We need to have medical personnel, ambulances and fire brigades because the disasters are all over. We also need to improve our security systems so that if there is any disaster or problem, they can move quickly to sort out this problem. view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I want to point out that the national Government has already taken up part of this and has come up with two health centres in every county which will be upgraded. However, our Constitution says that the health sector is devolved to the county governments. Unfortunately two years down the road, after the county governments were formed, we are still having problems of management of health by our counties. Our county governments are failing this country. I want to give the example of Machakos County where we have dispensaries. In my constituency, we have dispensaries in every sub- location but ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: The Senate should be dealing with these issues. It is good that it is with us here but it needs to take up its role which is to oversee the counties and ensure that some of these things that we are passing here can become laws of the county governments. view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I said that Kenya has too many man-made disasters. There is one area that I want to propose, on a light touch, that they need to devolve it up to the ward level instead of the sub- county level; this is Nyeri. Despite the fact that we have these iron puns, we still have a major problem in Nyeri. Men are getting drunk everyday and women are attacking them. The situation is exaggerated in that place. So, it is important that even as we establish blood transfusion units and ICUs in our sub-counties, in Nyeri, we do it up to ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I support this Motion and thank you for the opportunity to contribute. view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I want to first thank the Mover of this Motion. From last week, I have realised how important the 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
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: institution of marriage is to our people. We have a lot of information on what is affecting young people who want to get married. The laws that we make in this House are meant to assist the people that we represent. So, as we make laws, we must be very alive to the fact that the laws are supposed to benefit the people and not to punish them. There are several laws that have passed in this House, but later on we find a lot of complaints from members of the public. The Marriage Act of 2014 is one such ... view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the cost of marriage, of course, as my colleagues have said, is quite high because we are talking about 14 centres for registration of marriage in the country. We have 47 counties and that means, basically, that it is one centre for three counties. So, if a man and a woman want to get married and they have to cross two counties to get to the centre, it is very expensive. It also means they may have to stay overnight. After they get permission to start the process, they also have to give notice of a ... view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Marriage is a holy union for many of us but if it becomes complicated to get married in the church, what is likely to happen is that more and more young people will go into the unions we call “come-we-stay”. That obviously is going to erode the moral fibre of the nation and it is something we will not be proud of. view
