• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to add my voice on the President’s Address. First and foremost, I want to comment on page 11 where the President says that our lowest common denominator or our irreducible minimum is a collection of communities. It is our unwritten contract binding one to all. I like that statement. I 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
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: believe that the President should be the symbol of unity for Kenya. Kenyans become more divided as we near elections. As we move towards 2017, we become quite divided along tribal lines. The 42 communities should be one nation as it has been clearly stated. The President being the symbol of unity should put great effort to see that Kenyans are united. Right now somebody has said that the high flying jobs have been divided between two ethnic groups. Statistics to support that is available. About 60 per cent of the jobs have been divided between two groups. This should ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Motion with a lot of passion. I thank Dr. Ottichilo for bringing this Motion. It is a very important Motion. It is important that we should all support it. Somebody said that cleanliness is next to godliness. In the Bible, somewhere in Leviticus, God instructed Moses that there had to be cleanliness in the tent or in the area where the Israelites were staying and God would not come to them unless there was cleanliness. He instructed them to dig a hole and cover the human waste and if ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: There is so much litter in our environment in Kenya and so much garbage in our towns. It is important that we create a culture of cleanliness. It is important that we all become concerned. Article 42 under the Bill of Rights of our Constitution states that every person has a right to a clean and healthy environment which includes the right to have the environment protected for the benefit of present and future generations. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I believe we all have a role to ensure that our environment is very clean. We all have an obligation to make sure that we participate in cleaning it. The littering and waste disposal that we so carelessly do is not just out of ignorance, but it is also impunity. There are people who dispose garbage because they are ignorant of the dangers it poses and there are those who do it out of impunity. We need to know, understand and take responsibility of our environment and make sure that it remains clean. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Several years ago, I went to Singapore and found that you could not chew gum in the streets because you would litter. We see in other countries people walking around with their pets carrying bags to collect the waste the pets may drop on the roadside. If they can do that for pets, what about us and our own human waste? We should be responsible and clean our environment. It is important that we have a day which will be of conscious awakening to remind us and to actively involve everybody in cleaning our environment. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: When grass and plants were planted in Nairobi along the roadside, it created a sense of beauty and breathing of fresh air. It also prevents one from littering. We need to sustain that and take it to all levels in our areas. When we look at the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), water and sanitation, poverty eradication, clean energy and clean environment come in. We need to take responsibility and go with the rest of the world as they implement the SDGs. As leaders, we need to be at the forefront. We need to take a stand and lead the rest ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you. I was talking about disease outbreaks. These disease outbreaks, especially cholera, happen year in, year out. This is a disease that we should have eradicated long time ago. In countries where they have taken care of the environment, you do not see typhoid fever and cholera outbreaks. They are dealing with a “more honourable” disease, if there is such a word. They are dealing with better illnesses than those outbreaks. So, we should eradicate such illnesses by keeping our environment clean, being conscious and taking the responsibility by going out of our way to ensure that we maintain ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support that amendment. It is important that the authority and regulatory bodies supervise and also see what is happening in the private hospitals and institutions. These institutions will be offering emergency services even before they are paid. view
