• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: I have been assessing my colleagues in the House and making a visual diagnosis, and I note that nearly all of them are stressed. This is depicted by the level of irritability, aggressiveness and egocentrism. That is just part of the differential diagnosis of what I have noted. The treatment is rest. Just rest. Then, we will come back out of the disease and continue functioning normally. view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just enumerated the signs and symptoms of stress. But if I offended hon. Members, I withdraw and apologise. But, indeed, irritability is one of the symptoms of stress. In the last one month, there has been lack of quorum in this House. More often than not, less than 30 hon. Members have been passing Motions and Bills. We cannot be naive not to accept the reality that, may be, we need rest. Indeed, during this Session--- view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not said that. I have not talked of quorum. I did not mention anything to that effect. I only picked on numbers.

• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, 4310 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 7, 2006 you can evidently see signs of stress in this House. Would I be in order to request that you allow the Mover of the Motion to respond? view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to congratulate the Minister for Energy for the passing of this important Bill. I, however, will request him to move expeditiously and pay attention to the stalling of the Rural Electrification Programme (REP) which has been ongoing. We know he has already given out contracts and so he should flex his muscles. view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I congratulate the Minister for the passage of this Bill, I will humbly request that the officers of this Ministry work very closely with the Ministry of Health, especially so in the monitoring of the demographic changes on the surveillance of disease patterns in this country, especially the purportedly eliminated diseases like poliomyelitis because we are concerned. view

• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Nakuru Provincial General Hospital has adequate drugs at the moment. The Hospital received some essential supply of drugs in November, 2006 from the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA).

Indeed, between 1st February and 21st November, 2006, KEMSA supplied Nakuru Provincial General Hospital with insulin and other medical supplies amounting to Kshs34,239,855. I wish to table the ... view
