• 27 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to ask the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC): a) To provide a list of total number of persons and holders of public and private offices who have been prosecuted and proceeds of corruption recovered since 2003. b) What efforts are being made by the Commission in recovering, repatriation of proceeds of economic crimes in form of assets held both locally and in foreign countries? c) What are the challenges in enforcing anti-corruption laws during recovery of assets of economic crimes and the mitigation measures to address these challenges? d) How many persons have ... view

• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to talk about this amendment Bill. I support these amendments. Before I talk, let me brief you about health and myself. I am a doctor by profession – gynaecologist obstetrician. I used to work in the public sector in one of the largest universities as head of department and senior lecturer. I was at the Moi University School of Medicine. Also, in the private sector, I was the founding chairman of Mediheal Group of Hospitals. view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Kesses, JP): Thank you. To achieve ideal health in the nation, we should have four things: adequate infrastructure, well updated, upgraded and branded equipment, excellent health personnel and human touch. Health cannot be practised in a commercial way. Today, we have amended few laws and we have brought some new changes. As my colleague, Hon. Eseli, said, changes are inevitable. Changes can bring mountains. It is good. Having said that, we have to bring amendments all the time about health as and when they are necessary. We are trying our best to create infrastructure and provide equipment at the county ... view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: 75 to 80 per cent of ideal and adequate health personnel are in Nairobi, the capital city. The rest of the country lacks health personnel. So, we have to develop and improve our health education system because we have more medical and training colleges and schools for both medics and paramedics so as to give service. As we know, a very good aircraft cannot be flown if the crew is not adequate. An air hostess cannot replace the pilot. We must have the right people in the right positions. So, we have to develop more and make the health education ... view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Apart from that, we should also encourage manufacturing. Africa is not known as a manufacturing continent and for that matter, even Kenya. Now, as we know, there are 38 companies manufacturing medical pharmaceuticals in Kenya and that is very encouraging. But we, as Government and Parliament, should know how to encourage more manufacturers in the field of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment and furniture. That is so that it not only gives better quality products of fair prices to our hospital industry but also creates real employment in our country and continent. view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Apart from that, health is paramount. We have to be very particular about getting the right equipment. China is 50 years behind the western world like Europe and the USA. How come we are bringing that equipment? As a developing country, we do not have enough force to get maintenance, repairs and so on. We have to take all these things seriously. We have to make a national policy on where and how we should procure our extremely high end medical equipment. This is because we are buying equipment which is not proven or in practice because of getting loans ... view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: good health summit. We should pre-arrange in the right way and at the right time with the leadership of the central Government and the county governments, stakeholders like medics, paramedics, pharmaceutical and medical equipment-making companies and the public sector. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me this chance. view
• 20 Sep 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the smart and hard work of the Committee. We, parliamentarians, should be careful next time. We have to stop corruption. The people who have taken our money should give it back to the Government. Secondly, we should spend our money in a smart way. We should be wise when signing loan agreements. We know that some members of the international community are giving us loans easily. We have to be very careful with the terms and conditions. Otherwise, we will be in trouble in future. In this loan crisis, why not revisit the terms ... view
