"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Deputy Speaker requested that I read on his behalf. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Health on the status of health services in Meru County following an industrial strike of health workers that commenced on 1st August 2024, which in turn has led to a total shutdown in the delivery of health services. On 15th and 16th November, 2023, the health workers in Meru County conducted an industrial strike that was called off after a negotiated agreement was reached on 17th November, 2023, between the County Government of Meru and health workers' respective unions; the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU), the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers and Kenya National Union of Nurses. The health workers have accused the County Government of Meru of being non- committal and lacking good faith in implementing the 2023 negotiated agreement, thus calling for industrial strike."

"content": "The people of Meru are under imminent apprehension that the industrial strike may be prolonged as the parties involved have not shown any signs of conciliation to end the standoff. In the Statement, the Committee should- (i) State whether there are any immediate interventions to ensure that the health workers resume their duties to avoid cases of loss of lives and financial strain as the people of Meru have been left with no other option, but to seek health services from private health facilities. (ii) Explain whether the County Government of Meru has initiated any progress to implement the negotiated agreements between the County and the Workers' Union and whether there are long-term plans to end the perpetual and perennial industrial strikes that have for a long time denied the people of Meru their constitutional right to attainable standards of health. This is on behalf of Sen. Kathuri Murungi, Senator for Meru County and Deputy Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your indulgence, my two statements are as follows."

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defense and Foreign Relations regarding brutalization of peaceful demonstrators by an armed gang in Kapsabet town. On Tuesday, 6th August, 2024, the residents of Nandi County took to the streets of Kapsabet town in exercise of their constitutional right to demonstrate seeking audience with the Governor of the County to address concerns regarding accountability and transparency in county governance as well as lack of development in the entire county. Regrettably, the residents were brutalized by a gang armed with crude weapons and batons, who purported to be protecting businesses from the demonstrators. Three people were injured and one lost a motorbike. I, therefore, request the Committee to- (i) Explain the circumstances under which the armed gang was able to roam freely and brutalize residents in Kapsabet town on Tuesday, 6th August, 2024. (ii) Outline any disciplinary actions taken by the police officers and Nandi County security personnel who either deliberately or by negligence, permitted the acts of lawlessness within the town. (iii) State the number and names of individuals who have been arrested and arraigned in court for disrupting peace, maiming and violently mugging peaceful residents who are going about their business within Kapsabet town on the same day. (iv) Outline any steps taken to bring to book all other individuals who are responsible for recruiting and financing this armed militia gang within Kapsabet town. Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you, that was the only one."
