Hon (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) I withdraw that statement. On the plans by the Ministry to educate the public, issues about endometriosis started arising when we lost a female media personality, who comes from my county, Kitale. The disease was highlighted because many ladies have been suffering from it,...

Hon (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I am aware. I can seek the services of a lawyer in just the same way that when a lawyer becomes sick, he has to come to hospital for treatment.

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Yes.

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , Hon. Irene Mayaka requested a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health regarding the regulations and lack of facilities specialising in the treatment of endometriosis. The...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Mayaka has indicated that the number of gynaecologists since we attained independence is 700 in the whole Republic, both in public and private. I am a surgeon, and there are even fewer surgeons. We have 700 gynaecologists, both in...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) I think we are speaking the same thing with the Hon. Deputy Speaker. There is a cosmetic role for surgery when you do... Just listen to me. I am a surgeon... No! No! You cannot teach me surgery. There are cosmetic reasons for any...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Unfortunately, you know, I would not want to go there. But, for record purposes, everything has… You are not listening. It is not only one reason. One is cosmetic; no woman would want a big scar in her abdomen. Two, they would not want...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Unfortunately, Hon. Speaker, we have diverted from laparoscopic gynaecology. That is the basis. We were discussing laparoscopic gynaecology, not the issue of whether you have endometriosis or not. That is the point. You are a lawyer and I am a doctor. I cannot dispute...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Hon. Speaker, the Member for Igembe South has asked for a comprehensive report. I am aware of the research that was carried out which was a data collection from the Maua area. It was a collaboration between KEMRI and the County Government of Meru....

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Hon. Speaker, could I have two minutes? My document is at the reception.

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I hear Hon. Kamket asking for review of the qualifications in marginalised areas. I think that is discrimination because even in marginalised areas, for a long time, we have taken advantage and have de-marginalised the rest of Kenya by asking for...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Millie, Whip of the Minority Party has said that we have cases of influenza, and there is no proper treatment.

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I take this opportunity to congratulate Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona for being nominated the Whip of the Minority Party.

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to move that the Mover be now called upon to reply. I can see we have a Committee of the whole House on the same. I will make my contributions during that time.

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the outset, I would like to support these appointments. Having observed the proceedings of the Committee, the President made the right choice. He chose these two ladies on competence, not because one was Luo and another Turkana. He looked...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Statement sought by Hon. Catherine Omanyo, the Member for Busia County, is very serious. It needs attention. All of us who live along the borders must share resources equally without discrimination. 13th August 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 18 Hon....

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon Tongoyo said that County Commissioners have been given 102 vehicles for use by ACCs. I do not know how that distribution was done because many of the ACCs, including the ACCs in Endebess, Chepchoina and other places, have no...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Hon. Speaker, Professor has already given us those bands; that Band One is from this to that much. We would like to understand how much the student qualifies to get. She has already said that in the first category, they will get 75 per...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Hon. Speaker, we would also like the Professor to simplify it so that if we are to communicate to the members of the public, when you are telling somebody about band one, two or three, they can understand. Can she make it simpler so...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Petition by Professor Atwoli, the professor of psychiatry. Attempted suicide is a mental illness. That being the case, it should not be criminalised. These are people who require psychological or psychiatric treatment. As the Committee...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I second the Motion on adoption of the Report of the Committee that conducted an inspection of EAC institutions in Uganda. As stated in the Report, an air ticket from Nairobi to Dar es Salaam is expensive compared to...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Mheshimiwa Spika, mimi namuonea huruma Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Umeme kwa sababu ya yale Mheshimiwa Ruweida anauliza. Huyu ni Mbunge mwenzako.

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, when I listened to the Hon. Chairperson of the Select Committee on National Government Constituency Development Fund moving this Motion, he clearly stated that he had a verbal directive. He did not produce any document to show that the Head of...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Not on this one, Hon. Deputy Speaker. We have all listened to the Chair on this debate and, therefore, I am standing under Standing Order 95 (1) that the Mover be called upon to reply. (Loud consultations)

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I had actually raised a point of order when I heard the response from the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock. He did not go into mentioning issues about carcinogenic because in many of the articles that have been...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, JP) Hon. Deputy Speaker, for a document to be admissible in this House, there is a minimum threshold that it should meet procedurally.
