Senator, you should be around because you are the Mover of the Motion. At 5.00 p.m., we will see whether the House can be adjourned because of the prayers at our colleague’s home. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, you have been trying to catch my eye many times. You are on the list. Do you have a burning issue that you want to put across on the Statements?"

"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue raised by Sen. Hamida on SHA and UHC is very important. The Committee must put the Cabinet Secretary to task. The money owed to NHIF, which is the reason private hospitals have cut services to the public putting their lives at great risk, is a mere Kshs19 billion. The Cabinet Secretary said that Kshs9 billion has already been paid and, therefore, what is pending is Kshs10 billion. It is quite possible for the money that the Government wastes on teas and decorating offices with flagrant flowers to be stopped for a week and utilised to pay off these hospitals so that services can continue. Equally, the Cabinet Secretary must be put to task. She said they have increased the money they pay as SHA towards ICU from Kshs4,600 to Kshs28,600. The Cabinet Secretary is a doctor of medicine. She ought to know that if you are in the ICU, you will be lucky if less than Kshs200,000 is spent on you. So, a paltry Kshs28,000 cannot make a difference. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "There is a matter raised by Sen. Cherarkey about employees of Kenya Airways (KQ). Again, we must put the Ministry under pressure. I remember not so long ago, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Hon. Wetangula, was held at the airport for 45 minutes because they insisted that he must produce his identification (ID) card in order to be identified whether he was indeed the Wetangula that he claimed to be. These are Public Relations (PR) issues that our KQ staff require to be trained on so that their emotional intelligence grows. Finally, there is a matter that was raised by Sen. Seki about discrepancies in recruitment of staff of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF). Again, we must insist to be told the composition of the KDF, county by county, region by region, and ethnic community by ethnic community. This is a sensitive finishing because it is coming hot on the heels of the ruling by the High Court which found that in the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), only two communities are favoured in employment. The same problem faces KDF. We want our young people to enjoy service to the nation. I thank you for the chance."

"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement by the Senator for Kisii, Sen. Onyonka, concerning delayed payments to facilitators of the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations. We are all products of teachers. Even as you sit there, if there were no teachers in your life, probably you would not be a Deputy Speaker today. I support this Statement because teachers sacrifice their holidays when they go to mark examinations. After marking, the whole country celebrates their work and sweat. Remember, they stay away from their families for weeks over December holidays. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there must be some planning by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC). You cannot engage teachers if you are not ready with their payment. We must also be sympathetic to our teachers regarding the kind of environment they are subjected to during the marking period. A number of times, they stay in schools, eat the same food and sleep in dormitories where the children sleep. We have often seen in public and also in the newspapers the cries of these teachers due to the kind of environment they sacrifice to be in over the holidays so that Kenyans can celebrate the results. I happen to have been a wife of a teacher. That applies to all families of teachers; whether male or female. Over the holidays, their families sacrifice a lot. This must be looked into. It cannot be that in this country, teachers continue suffering over their rights. The facilitators must be paid. When they are engaged in future, there must be a commitment that the money they should be paid is ready even before they start the exercise. I also want to support the Statement brought by Sen. (Prof.) Ojienda over mistreatment and---"

"content": "police officers who went to Haiti. That young man who was less than 30 years old has left a very young family. He was the only breadwinner. We thank the Government for coming out openly about the loss of that officer. For Kenyans to appreciate the role our officers have played in peacekeeping missions, we call upon the Government to support his family. The late had started building a house and he has left very young children. We request that the family be supported. I also needed to mention - I have been mentioning on the Floor of this House – that there is even no road to go to the home of this young woman who is my relative and my neighbour. Can the road even be graded so that we can go and give this young officer a decent burial? Let the Government do the grading of the road from Kenya Assemblies of God (KAG) going to Naserian because there is no road."
