• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Nigeria was able to be taken out of the global threat because of the amount of resources that they mobilised. They were able to make sure that their professionals were provided with the necessary materials. In our case, the National Treasury should give the Ministry of Health enough resources. Even the Kshs700 million that the Ministry has requested for is peanuts. It cannot assist much. That is why instead of using thermo scans, the health personnel at our ports of entry use what they call “thermo guns”. As you pass through the entry point, they point something at your ears. ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Our medical personnel are not adequately trained. We need more funds to train them. That is the only way we can make this country safe. The Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has created an isolation or quarantine ward but it is ill-equipped. It is improvised. In this era, we need a modern quarantine room with a big capacity. If we suspect that certain people are infected with the Ebola virus, there should be sufficient room to hold them for even more than 20 days. Yesterday, there was talk of some Kenyans being airlifted back home from Sierra Leon and Liberia. They ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I urge the Treasury to support the Ministry of Health in order for them to be able to provide care for Kenyans. view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Mule, for bringing this Motion. view
• 21 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me to contribute to this very important Bill on securities and investment analysts. I want to join my colleagues and say that this is a very timely intervention by this hon. House. For a long time, we have had people who are not very qualified or quacks pretending to be security investment analysts and many Kenyans have had problems in accessing critical information in as far as investments in securities are concerned. view
• 21 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, many Kenyans in the past, whenever there have been issues of trading in the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE), where certain companies are floating their shares, are faced with challenges. Whom do you go to? How qualified is the person who is going to give you advice on various areas of investment? That is a big 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
• 21 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: challenge. You will find that, more often than not, people have invested in some securities firms which have collapsed with peoples’ investments and those could be life savings. When we are blaming Kenyans for not being able to save, it is because of the fear of the unknown. Kenyans fear that if they go and invest in a certain company, it may collapse soon and go down with their investments. That is because that has happened over a period of time. If we can regulate that industry, where somebody who is a security or investment analyst is registered and we ... view
• 21 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: So, this is timely. Again, I want to join my colleagues by saying that we must also be able to have penalties for those who are going to flout market regulations. That is because when people invest, they need to have sincerity and trust. We need to trust those who can assist us to invest in a company and make money. When you go to other countries, especially West and East, the reason why people invest in the stock exchange is because they have confidence. During breaks, people are able to look at the market price for their commodities or ... view
• 21 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: So, we should impose stiffer penalties for those who are going to flout the regulations. We should be able to regulate that sector. So, with those remarks, I support this Bill and thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to contribute. view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Adjournment Motion. First and foremost, I want to thank you for the leadership you have given this National Assembly, both inside and outside the House; recently there were outreach services rendered by the Parliamentary Service Commission during the Parliament week. Hon. Speaker, we really appreciate your role in guiding this House in various debates on Bills and on other areas, where we have faced difficulties. You have always given us your wise counsel. As we go for recess, one of the biggest challenges is lack of food ... view
