• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. I also wish to congratulate hon. Kigo Njenga for moving it. The greatest resource that we have in our country is the human resource. Where I come from, the biggest problem that we have is the issue of poverty and I am sure it cuts across the country. As I went round campaigning, I saw so much poverty and the people who are mostly affected are our youth. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: The people who could make a difference in this county are your youth, yet they have turned to the backstreet corners where they take alcohol and all manner of drugs. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: This Motion is very timely and it is important that we embrace it because it will make a difference in our country. I have been inspired by some educated young people, who are willing to take risks and do some great things for this country. I have a team of young people who are doing a project on energy in Machakos using garbage. This is quite inspiring. They will be using 100 tonnes of garbage to produce 3 megawatts of electricity. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Procedural Motion. It is high time that we stopped procrastinating and made a decision on the Marriage Bill which has been in public domain. Men should stop fearing. Thank you. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Motion and congratulate hon. T.G. Ali for moving it. This is a very important Motion. We seem not to learn from our mistakes and the calamities that have befallen this country. It is high time that we had an authority to handle issues that come our way from the numerous disasters that we have year in, year out. Disasters are not specific to certain areas like Isiolo, they happen in the entire country. We face all manner of disasters. It is not just floods and famine. We have fires in ... view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, we need that take positive action because this Motion has come at the opportune time. It is important for us to embrace it and set up an authority for disaster management. I think the Mover of the Motion has been a disaster manager in many occasions. We have watched many bad things happen, but we stand there watching helplessly. Hon. Speaker, recently, in the last rains, I was called by somebody who was in Masinga. The person informed me that somebody had drowned because the water levels had come up. The crocodiles were on the rampage and ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy, Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Motion as amended, even though I am not comfortable with the proposed number of nurses. I do not know how the Mover arrived at the figure of 5,000 nurses. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the amendment as it is. That is why I am asking why the Mover has proposed 5,000 nurses instead of 10,000 nurses. I do not know whether I am in order to say so. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am supporting the amendment with a proposal for addition to the number of nurses. Is that an additional amendment? view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the demand for health care services in this country is so big that we need to increase the number of health personnel, especially nurses, clinical officers and laboratory technicians. We cannot provide meaningful health care services unless we can diagnose what we are treating. We have made big strides especially in malaria control. However, if we cannot have diagnostic capability, it will be difficult for us to achieve what we want to achieve. So, passing this Motion without providing for an appropriate number of personnel would be an effort in futility. That is because we ... view
