• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Secondly is the issue of training of medical staff. You can never have a functional medical system or health system without well equipped, trained and motivated staff. There are many cases of medical staff going on strike and many cases of doctors being fired. As a society, we need to respect the medical staff by training, equipping and remunerating them properly so that they get motivated to offer services. view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the Report and hope that the Committee on Implementation, as Hon. Gladys Wanga has said, will not merely bring reports for debate here. This is will, with due respect to my friend the Vice Chair who is here, take action to implement the recommendations of the Committee where they are feasible and workable. Thank you. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to weigh in on this Petition. I want to make two comments. First, it is the issue on how we treat petitions in this House. Indeed, we have received so many petitions that are so important and so critical to the welfare of the people of Kenya. Unfortunately, we never have an opportunity to conclude those petitions to the satisfaction of the people of Kenya. Probably, in due course, we might have to look at our Standing Orders because it seems the Public Petitions to Parliament Act seems to rely so ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: disappointed if time lapses before the Petition is presented in this House and they are not given a chance to be heard. Secondly, the issue of historical land injustice, more or less, seems to fall within the purview of Article 67(2)(e) of the Constitution of Kenya, which donates those powers to the NLC. I am sure, and all of us know, that the outgoing NLC has not lived up to its mandate. I urge the Committee of the House in charge of land and related matters that, as they seek to constitute a new NLC, special attention needs to paid ... view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the two Petitions. The spirit of the first one is the issue of historical injustice which should be within the purview of the National Land Commission (NLC). However, because the former NLC was preoccupied with compensations and there were massive cases of corruption, it forgot one of its key mandates. However, it is important that the directors of land buying companies be brought to account for the activities in respect of the processes leading to the allocation or allotment of shares to respective members. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: On the second one, the Constitution, under Article 41, is explicitly clear about depriving a private individual interest or right in property without following due process. Based on international best practices, whether they built the property as an illegal structure or not for as long as there is demonstration that, indeed, the property was duly approved and allowed to be constructed, demolition should not proceed until just compensation has been made for the built environment.

• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Specifically, demolitions are an indication of a systemic failure on the part of City Hall or whichever authorities in question which approve building plans. It is also failure on the part of professionals in the built environments, especially the architects who do not countercheck the alignments of the wayleaves before they design and supervise construction. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I support and will seek to give my contribution during the hearing of the Petition. I thank you, Hon. Speaker view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me weigh on this matter. My comments will be brief and restricted to three issues. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: First, as much as the framers of the Constitution had good intention, there is a very high possibility that any other bad President would definitely misuse Article 115. However, it is in our Constitution and we must live with it. I join my colleagues to echo the sentiments that the President should use it judiciously and in the best interest of the people of Kenya. view
