• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: We want to have people carry their own responsibility. I know very well that the Deputy President was here at the KICC for three days and everybody saw him on TV. When was he organizing anything? We know people who went to the streets and said that they could not accept the results and today innocent people are suffering. They are moving from one country; from Kenya to The Hague to defend themselves on trumped up charges. This is unfair. This is not right and this should be condemned. We know that Waki had a constitutional mandate and we shall ... view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support the amendment as proposed by hon. Dr. Nyikal, who is my senior colleague in the profession. But when it comes to this issue of disposable plastic syringes, cannulae, catheters, blood bags and infusion sets, when you look at the first schedule, we have exempted the issue of infusions. If we cannot exempt the infusion bag to which the infusions are carried or the blood bag to which we are able to carry the blood, then we will be doing disservice to Kenyans. Most of us will remember that whenever we ... view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: essence of this is actually to make healthcare affordable. When you go to almost every health centre, dispensary or hospitals, if we do not make syringes, infusion bags and cannulae available, then even when we have an emergency, our hospitals will not be able to conduct those emergencies. So, it is important for hon. Members to realize that giving something that can save life is a good service to these Kenyans. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, as my colleague, Dr. Nyikal will say, at times we make laws that can kill millions of populations; but if we make good laws, they ... view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I do not know whether one of my colleagues, hon. Simba Arati, is properly dressed. Has he conformed to the dress code of this House? view
• 1 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, these people were evicted from their land which they were allocated by the Government in 2002. These people have been living under very difficult circumstances; most of them are in an IDP camp and they are referred to as forest evictees. These people have suffered a lot from 2002 up to today. After discussing with hon. Cheptumo, we agreed that he be incorporated so that he can give us a legal opinion, because this land was legally given to those people who paid the Government the required amount of money. The title deed has even not changed ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: No, hon. Speaker. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. The PAP is the legislative body of the African Union which acts on oversight, advisory and consultative powers. So, is the Member in order to tell us that the Constitution does not talk about the powers of the Senate and the National Assembly? When you look at the role of the PAP, where they are talking about oversight, advisory and consultative powers as a legislative body of the African Union, those are the functions at the national level. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the reduction of the publication period from 14 to 12 days will ensure that this Bill is fast-tracked. It will be one of the first Bills for this House to discuss. The Marriage Bill is an important Bill. One of the foundations of the Jubilee Government is the importance of having a family. This formed part of our campaigns and we want to see to it that families live in harmony. I beg to support. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Gikaria: Hon. Speaker, I rise to support. In fact, I even wanted the period to be further reduced so that we can come up with amendments to the clauses that are so punitive to us. I support the reduction, but if it could be reduced further, that would be far much better. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to this very important Motion. view
