• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I urge this House to support this Bill. I support it. Thank you. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I rise to support the Motion on improving the management of cancer in the country. I want to thank my sister, Hon. Gladys Wanga, for bringing it to the House. Cancer is a leading cause of death in the world. According to the statistics that our sister has given, cancer is 70 per cent in developing countries. I read an article in the Daily Nation about a health research that had been done. The health data shows that the rate of death from cancer in Kenya is ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: In this country, between 2010 and 2014, the rate of people dying from cancer increased from about 31 deaths per 100,000 people to 33 deaths per 100,000 people. That statistic is telling us that the death rate associated with cancer has surpassed the population growth rate in our country. I am glad that this Motion is before the House. If we pass it, the 11th Parliament will go into the annals of history of Kenya. We have ignored or forgotten this killer disease, which can cause a lot of problems to our country. Our sister, Hon. Wanga, felt that we ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The budget that Hon. Gladys Wanga has given us for offering scholarships to one medical Masters student per county to study oncology is Kshs3 million. How many billions of shillings do we lose through looting and corruption? That is just a piece of cake and it is not something we should take a second to think about. Every year in my county, we have a number of patients who are diagnosed with throat and breast cancer. If we get a system of detecting the disease in its early stages, we will save the patients. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I support the Motion with the strongest words. If we care about our people, we should pass this Motion because it captures the aspirations of the people living in the rural areas, like the ones I represent in this House. They cannot come to Nairobi. They do not even know the direction to Nairobi, in addition to the treatment of cancer being very costly. The people out there are very poor. Instead of contributing for patients to go to India, we should come up with a way of treating the disease in Kenya. view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to contribute to this very timely and necessary Bill. Culture guides communities to their origins. This Bill provides a framework for the protection and promotion of traditional knowledge. This will encourage our young people to stick to our cultures because they will realise how important our cultures are. In the Somali culture, there is a dress code. However, nowadays our young boys sag their pants and put on fitting shirts, which is against the teachings of our religion. In the Islamic religion, men cannot sag their pants to show their underpants. The ... view
• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. I stand to comment on the Presidential Speech made on 26th March, 2015. The President‟s Address on the State of the Nation is one of the most memorable Presidential Speeches that will earn him public confidence. It will also go down to the annals of history as bold and articulate. The President spoke on a range of issues. However, I will comment on the issue that touches on the people that I represent. First and foremost, I would like to commend him for taking one of the most unprecedented steps ... view
• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: portray us. The President has also disbursed Kshs5.3 billion of Uwezo Fund. This is a great move. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Motion. The nominee who has been brought by the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations has vast experience and good academic qualifications. He is a good fit and match for this position. I want the nominee to focus on national security. Insecurity and terrorism in Kenya is mostly from Somalia. We want an ambassador who has strength and can deal with all those issues and stresses coming from that part of Somalia. Since we have committed ourselves and placed an ambassador in Somalia, ... view
