• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion as amended. Sometimes, the problem begins when evacuating people from accident scenes. Unless we have personnel who are properly trained to handle people from scenes of accidents wherever they occur, injuries will be aggravated right from the scene of the accident to the hospital. At the hospital, there are sections earmarked as emergency wings. When patients arrive there, there is nobody even to take them in or to attend to them. So, it defeats logic as to why they have indicated those places as emergency ... view
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Let me give myself as an example. A few months ago, I was involved in a minor accident and ended up in a hospital’s emergency wing. I remained there waiting for somebody to attend to me for three hours. Three hours is a long time. Somebody can lose his or her life. I believe that if people are trained properly and given adequate support, they will save many lives. Many times people are injured even in their own homes. If that is not properly handled by a trained person, that person can lose a life. We need even to go ... view
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: We also need to look at why hospitals are reluctant to admit accident victims. The first thing they do is to demand for a deposit before somebody is admitted. We need the Government to change the policy on healthcare so that it is not a preserve of the rich. It should be for all Kenyans. If somebody is injured regardless of his or her situation in life and goes to a hospital with an emergency they should be attended to. Once their lives have been saved, they can then look at other things later. We understand sometimes that it is ... view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the foundation of this Bill is Article 43 of the Constitution. Every person has the right “a”, “b”, “c”, and “d” to education. If you have a right to education, how do you exercise or realize that right if some head teacher somewhere says you cannot get your certificate? If some university Vice Chancellor says you cannot get your certificate, that right becomes moribund. It becomes totally academic. I urge this House to support this Bill so that the children in Nyeri, Bomet, Samburu, the favoured Kiambu, Kakamega, Bungoma, and everywhere else favoured and not favoured--- view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I also wish to understand the rationale for rejecting this amendment because I believe consultations will enable the CS to make informed decisions. That is because the Board will have done investigations and whatever they are doing will be something that will come out more clearly. I think it will create consensus. So, I believe the Committee would have looked at this amendment again. It is a well-meaning amendment. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: No, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I had wished to speak to the earlier amendment. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the deletion but I would like---. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: A deletion of Section 37 and substitution thereof of the proposed amendment. I would like to get more clarity on this from the Mover on what they intend to achieve by this because we are likely to create a monster here if we are not careful. view
• 15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Bill. Speaking as a lawyer, I know especially what goes on in our courts. One of the courts in our court system that is most efficient is the Court of Appeal. It has a very efficient registry. Before the Supreme Court came up, the records at the Court of Appeal were very neat. The registry was very well organised. The filing of documents was very efficient and I believe that this Bill will even enhance the efficiency in the Court of Appeal. It ... view
