• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also like to start by thanking the Mover of this Bill, Dr. Monda, for a job well done. I know that it has taken him time and resources, but I think the job is well done. view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: We are talking about a very serious disease, whose diagnosis is very expensive. Very few people in this country can afford the fees to diagnose cancer. The Mover has actually shied away. He should have said in the Bill – and I hope he will do that – that every Kenyan will be entitled to free diagnosis of cancer. He shied away and he should not shy way because we are talking about a very serious disease. The same case applies to medicine. I was expecting to see a clause in the Bill that says that all medicine related or ... view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, wherever you walk on the streets, you will find notices that read: “ Daktari kutoka Zanzibar anatibu magonjwa yote.” We need to have a clause so that we can protect our people. Those notices are everywhere. They say that they treat all diseases including cancer and yet they have no equipment. You are just given some few bottles of concoctions which you do not know where they are from and then they say that they can treat cancer. So, we need to prevent our people from being exploited by the so-called herbalists. view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: We are talking about a very serious disease because this disease does not respect persons or class. It affects both the poor and the rich. It also affects the young and the old; the illiterate and the learned; the beautiful and the ugly and the professionals and the non- professionals. This is a disease that affects everybody and does not respect persons. Unless we want to have huge population of sick people from cancer, we need to take more serious steps. view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was also expecting in this Bill that there will be a cancer hospital in every county where services will be provided free. That is the only way we can help our people as they suffer, because most of them are suffering in silence in the rural areas. This is because they cannot even afford the fee that is charged by these hospitals. So, we require some drastic steps. We also require as a minimum duty-free equipment and medicines. We also require free diagnosis. With those few words, I support and congratulate the Mover. view

• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. Let me start by thanking hon. Maina Kamau for, in spite of his busy schedule, getting time to come and move this very important Motion. I wish him good luck. I cannot agree more with the Motion. Cancer is spreading very fast. Cancer is killing not only prominent people but people from all social classes. Therefore, this disease is spreading very fast among the people of Kenya. Therefore, it must be tackled effectively. One way of doing so would be ... view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I am just wondering why you said you have no information on Clause 13, because it is actually on the Order Paper. I do not know what you have done. Have we amended it or not? Have you ignored or what has happened? view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I would like to have a clarification because this amendment says “the regulations made under this Section shall be tabled before Parliament for approval debate before taking effect.” view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: I am wondering what it means by “approval debate”. What is “approval debate”? The amendment does not make any grammatical sense! view
