• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I am also saddened that Stegro Sacco Factory in Bomet County was not included. It was a presidential pledge that was made one year ago - that the Government was going to support the farmers in the tea growing sector to complete their factory. They are really waiting for the money. But it is unfortunate that we have not been able to capture it in this vote. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I, therefore, oppose the Vote because it is quite unfavourable to me and the people of Bomet Central. I wish that we had enhanced it to ensure that the pledge is taken care of. The pledges we have been making all over the country are turning the other way and it is not good for us. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I oppose it. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to second this amendment. I believe the amendment is very important because the Report generally is very good. However, it is contradictory to its recommendations because the Report has identified where the real problem is at KNH. I concur with what Hon. Shaban mentioned that the problem 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
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: at KNH is bigger than one person and the board. It even goes beyond the Ministry and the Departmental Committee on Health because it requires a lot of resources. The Ministry of Health in the current Budget is allocated about Kshs69 billion. Out of this, only Kshs9.1 billion goes to KNH which normally requires about Kshs16 billion, hence there is a shortage of about Kshs7.5 billion. That shortage means that KNH is unable to recruit adequate personnel in terms of doctors, nurses and purchase adequate equipment. For the Report to say that the board and the CEO is the problem… ... view

That was not KNH, but Nairobi Hospital. Two years later, I saw on newspapers the Nairobi Hospital advertising the sale of their CT scanner and I realised that it was faulty. So, these problems can happen anywhere even in the hospitals we consider first class. This amendment by Hon. Mugambi needs to be supported by all. I second. Thank you. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to support this Motion by Hon. Tiren. We need to pay our farmers timeously so that we can motivate them to continue farming, because farming is the backbone of this country. We need to ensure that we continue with subsidised fertiliser. I want to appreciate the Government for coming up with this idea of subsidised fertiliser, which is also assisting our tea farmers. We rely on tea in the South Rift, especially in Bomet Central, which provides foreign exchange to this country. I want to ask the Government to support the new maize ... view
• 13 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to also make my comments on this Motion for Adjournment. From the outset, I want to declare that I support the Adjournment Motion by Hon. Sossion. It is timely and we need to act on it. I know the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research has commented that there is insecurity all over, in Mount Elgon, Kerio Valley and elsewhere. But, I thought the recent killings of teachers which happened somewhere in the former North Eastern Province was quite unique. Normally, insecurity in the Kerio Valley and elsewhere ... view
• 13 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: are not passing this information? Those are the issues that need to be tackled. The desperation on the issues of unemployment is forcing people to go to places which are risky. As a House, we need to ensure that as we deal with the budget-making process we provide adequate finances so that we employ more teachers. Now that we have shortage of teachers of about 104,000, let us put more resources towards education. If we invest in the education sector, certainly we will not lose and it is going to be a wise investment. Once we have teachers all over ... view
