• 27 Jun 2023 in National Assembly: can be extended to cover Lake Victoria which we share with our three partner states to make sure that the lake is not polluted in the same manner. With those few remarks, I support. Thank you. view
• 3 May 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am very concerned. The main objective of this Bill was to introduce a section for the development of policy guidelines… view
• 3 May 2023 in National Assembly: The objective of this Bill was to introduce a section for the development of policy guidelines to regulate the referral of patients to health institutions. This is a section that will set out and write proposals that the health authorities and those in the health sector will have to comply with in terms of referrals. At the moment, the referral process is a hotspot. It is a mess. Patients who do not need to be referred are being referred. We have problems with our health service. We do not have enough Level 6 hospitals. We only have two Level 6 ... view
• 3 May 2023 in National Assembly: understood that this is a Bill to develop policy. In the health sector and other sectors, bureaucracy is a very big riddle. If you leave the health care providers to make their own guidelines and regulations, that will never happen. I have an amendment before the Departmental Committee on Health to have Level 6 hospitals in every county. I have been the Chairman of the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH) for twelve years and we paid all our workers and did everything in time. I have sent the proposal to the Committee to take JOOTRH to Level ... view
• 27 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I acknowledge and note the Report on PAP. It raises a lot of concerns and good points. I am not a black African. I am a brown African, as my friend says. Since the early 20th Century, African countries have had the vision to become the Pan-African States of Africa. Gaddafi tried. The Egyptian leader Abdel Nasser tried. Lumumba tried. Nkrumah tried. The vision is excellent. The implementation is not. Vision without implementation is hallucination. There is the AU organ in Addis Ababa, there is PAP, there is ECOWAS and there are very many others. ... view
• 27 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Sudan and yet the country is falling into disarray is sad. Now the Republic of Sudan and Ethiopia are warring. Arab States and Israel are watching how Sudan is disintegrating. I have not seen one comment from PAP or the AU. It is sad. The PAP should get its act together. It should no longer be a group of parliamentarians, each with sovereignty, who go to South Africa and sit for two weeks every set period. We want to see results. We want to see PAP helping in certain areas such as advancing pan-africanism and resolving issues of sea boundaries. ... view
• 27 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: We did not draw up the Nile Treaty but it was done by Europeans. My constituency is flooded at this moment because we are unable to desilt our rivers. We are unable to construct channels and dams because it is against the Nile Treaty. Those are the issues that the Pan African Parliament must look at. I was shocked and horrified one time. There was a group of people who called themselves African chiefs who went to meet Mr. Gaddafi. Among them was the biggest crook that we have ever seen called Mr. Pattni. When did he become an African ... view
• 27 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker. view
• 27 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Okay. I withdraw and apologise. However, we had somebody who definitely was not an African chief. view
• 27 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: The point that I am making is that we must not trivialise the fact that Africans want to get together. We must not trivialise the fact that common African unity is going to be the strength of Africa. If, we, Africans, get together, we are a force to reckon with. We must not trivialise the fact that we have invisible boundaries. Why can I not fly from here to Morocco or somewhere else without a visa? We must also not trivialise the fact that we do not have a common currency in Kenya, Uganda and other countries in Africa. These ... view
