• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank my dear sister Mhe . Gladys and the Seconder Bwana Owino for bringing this very important Bill. Cancer control has been a major problem in this country. Hon. Gladys Wanga has given some statistics about the number of oncology specialists in this country. It is sad to note that in Manchester, London, the number of Kenyan doctors who are oncologists and nuclear specialists are more than those in Kenya. The reason is because they are valued in that country and not valued here. The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: In this country, cancer patients are being taken for a ride. They are being cheated left, right and centre by conmen and quacks who have opened up small clinics allegedly giving out treatment to cancer patients. They travel from all over the country to be attended to in some sub-standard units created by some oncologists working at KNH. They are scamming poor people. Now that the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) is giving certain money towards cancer treatment, this has become more of a scam. A person who comes here for simple treatment is asked for Kshs90,000 upfront. Then, the ... view

• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I want to congratulate the Budget and Appropriations Committee for doing an excellent job. However, there is the Uwezo Fund that falls under the same category. It has taken over a year for an approval of Kshs4 million to be made for release. I am afraid that the same cannot be said on Uwezo Fund. I request the National Treasury to tighten its operation on Uwezo Fund as it is one of the Big Four Agenda of the Jubilee Administration, to stimulate the economy. The bureaucrats seated here are frustrated by the delays. view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, let me confirm that I support the BBI Bill that resulted from the sacrifice and dedication that the two principles had to make to bring peace to us after the divisive elections of 2017. I was in the Constitution of Kenya Review Commission (CKRC) and my number was 406. We were fighting to put together a new Constitution. I can remember how we worked. At one time we sang: “ Yote yawezekana bila Moi .” We came up with a zero draft. That draft was taken to Naivasha and it was butchered. That ... view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: I do not know but you were there and you did not support. There are certain people I saw there. Our President was there, Ruto was there, Orengo was there and Amos Wako was there. They butchered our Draft Zero of the Constitution. 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
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, but you were there. So, you can tell me who were there. We had all of them there. Uhuru Kenyatta, Ruto, Amos Wako, Orengo, Kimunya and many others were there. They destroyed the issue of the Senate. Anyway, it is good that those who sacrificed and went through the two to three years of sitting every day at CKRC are now seeing progress. I want to remember my friend, Dr. Mbai. We now see where we came from. It is the issue that the BBI Bill is coming to handle. It is the content. Our Constitution covers it ... view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: people want. The President should not come and tell us that he is powerless because the system has tied his hands. I think that is why he is asking that the BBI Bill becomes a simple document that people can understand. Everybody knows about ethnic antagonism. We know we have been tribal. How it came about, we do not know. But we must say, let us go and accentuate the positive. There are very many positive issues in tribes and ethnicities. There was a time a Kenyan was loved. When you went abroad and said you are a Kenyan, they ... view
