• 8 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, I wish to support this Bill based on those two facets and also encourage Hon. Members to support the same and maybe strengthen it, through amendments of few areas that are of interest just to make sure that we safeguard and lock it completely. This will ensure that fraudsters who have been going round trying to convince Kenyans to buy properties that are not tied anywhere are stopped. I have a case study of myself. Hotels are also adopting the same motto whereby they are selling part of their apartments for a given period of time. You can occupy ... view

• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to speak on this Report that has been compiled by the Departmental Committee on Health. From the outset, I congratulate our Committee for a job well done. It really burned the midnight oil to come up with this Report in the interest of Kenyans, having realised that we cannot achieve the UHC without addressing the issues that are ailing our referral hospitals. Some are not popular especially the Spinal Injury Hospital, the Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital, the MTRH and the famous KNH. There is a raft of ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Article 43 of the Constitution provides that every Kenyan is entitled to the highest level of medical care up to and including reproductive health. If that is the case, there is not a single patient who will walk to KNH as much as it is a referral hospital, and be turned away. We need to have a system of referral. Let us know the kind of people who are supposed to be treated in our referral hospitals, namely, MTRH, KNH, the NSIH and the MNTRH, failure to which, we will have the influx that we have been experiencing in those ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to speak on the Nuclear Regulatory Bill. From the onset, I want to congratulate the Departmental Committee on Energy for a job well done. They are well prepared for what is going to be another first for this country where we will join the league of developed countries in terms of use of nuclear energy. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: In the past, we had challenges where we introduce new firsts in the market without laws. This one has come in time. We are saying that by 2030, we will be producing nuclear energy. But most of the lay people, when they hear of nuclear, it sends some cold shivers down their spine because we always think about what happened in Hiroshima in Japan and the effects thereof. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: But going forward, I want to congratulate the Committee for taking time to get the right laws and prepare beforehand so that we can add more power to our national grid because there is deficit. We have tried wind energy, hydro energy and geothermal energy, but still we have a deficit. I believe this will come in handy in addressing the issue of the shortage we are experiencing and importation of power. So, we will get to a place where we will also export power to our neighbouring countries. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: On the issue of safety in case of terrorism, I believe it is well taken care of in this Bill. We cannot wish away the safety issue because we are living in the age of global terrorism. This law will ensure that we avoid this catastrophe in case of terrorist attacks. Therefore, I join my brother, the Chair of the Departmental Committee of Energy, in saying that this is one of the Semi-Autonomous Government Agencies (SAGAs) which should be domicile either in the Ministry of Health or in the presidency because of security issue. There are issues of radiation and ... view
