• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: deal with the roads that are within their jurisdiction especially those urban roads. I gave an example of Nairobi because I am Member of Parliament from Nairobi County. Most roads in Nairobi are so dilapidated. The City County Government is saying it is not supposed to maintain those roads because there are other agencies that are supposed to deal with it. This is bringing many problems. Most of the blame is coming to us Members of Parliament. They say we are not working because when roads are not good, most of them look at the Members of Parliament. So, we ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance also to contribute to this Bill. We must look back when we began this process. What was the intention of us setting up that vetting process? When we came from the old order to the new order, Kenyans were yearning for fresh air and they wanted to weed out the rotten potatoes from all our institutions. That is why we started the process of vetting. We have seen that some of the processes that have been going on have been very successful. But some have ground to a halt. But ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: We have seen several judges and magistrates who have been weeded out running to court and trying to stop the process. That has slowed down the vetting process. Some of them have challenged the decision of the vetting process. This is also an area that has actually challenged the vetting process and it has become very murky. view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: One of the earlier speakers mentioned that before the vetting process came into place, some of the Judges were the law unto themselves. Some of them were so arrogant that they could decide to dismiss your case before you even opened your mouth when they just do not like you. That vetting process has brought some sense of responsibility. These days, you will see professionalism being injected into the Judiciary. People who are applying to become judicial officers are people of high integrity. We must also look at the performance of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). That is where the ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I support the extension of time because that process must be finished. This is the way Kenyans wanted the Judiciary to be. Especially, as we head to the general election, the Judiciary must be above board. It should not be suspected of being partisan or influenced or directed by anybody. The judicial process must be independent. The pronouncements of the Judiciary must be seen to be fair to all and respected by everybody. This is something we must safeguard as a country in order for us to move forward. What have failed us are our failed institutions. Some people have ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion but, first, I would like to thank Hon. Wanga for bringing it to the House. It is a very important Motion. One of the areas in which we have not done very well as a country is that of health. We have not invested wisely in the health sector. If we do better, we can save many lives. Financially able Kenyans use our foreign exchange to travel abroad for treatment of cancer-related ailments. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The highlighted figures are conservative. I am sure that the actual figures are larger. If we prioritise our investment in the health sector, we can equip all our Level 5 hospitals across the country and minimise the cost occasioned by long distance travel to KNH and MTRH in Eldoret. Many other institutions that are able to treat cancer are very expensive for an ordinary Kenyan because they are private hospitals. We know that Kenya trains personnel for many countries. We must address the issue of brain drain. We train our personnel but because we cannot employ them, they find their ... view

• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wanted to speak on Clause 6 but I still support the amendment on Clause 7. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support. It is just for purpose of clarity. view
