If there are no teachers in this country, you cannot be seated there on that Speaker’s Chair. Teachers do a lot of work and that is why we are here. Every institution has workers. Therefore, this issue of medical covers for teachers must be addressed. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to comment on Sen. Onyonka's Statement about the widow who was kicked out of her matrimonial home. Widows are suffering in this country. Once their husbands die, they are kicked out of their homes. This Statement must be properly interrogated if we were to protect widows in this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for the opportunity"

"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Statement on the teacher’s medical cover by Sen. (Dr.) Murango. I agree that teachers suffer. If they are not fighting for hardship allowance, they are fighting for medical cover. If they are not fighting for medical cover, they are fighting for the implementation of the CBC. I am happy the brand new Chairperson of the Committee on Education is in the House. The sad thing is that when teachers retire, they use their retirement years looking for their benefits from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). It is very unfortunate that we, as a country, are never grateful to teachers. This issue of teachers’ medical cover must be addressed because there is a crisis. I know of a number of teachers who are suffering because no one is taking care of them. The TSC is supposed to be protecting teachers, but they are the oppressors. They should be facilitation them. As the police officers protect us, their medical cover is also in chaos and it must be addressed. I support this Statement on medical cover. Let teachers be given what rightfully belongs to them. It is not a privilege; it is a right under the Constitution. I thank you."

"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Statement by Sen. Tabitha Mutinda on sexual harassment in the Kenya Union of Domestic Hotels Educational Institutions Hospitals and Allied Workers (KUDHEIHA). The Sexual Offences Act describes any sexual advances that are from a co-worker or a person who is senior to you in employment. They are supposed to know that they are unwanted or have every reason to know that the sexual advances are unwanted. It is very unfortunate that in this day and age we are talking about this old age practice that was addressed many years ago. It has been a while since I heard such allegations. I urge the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare to investigate this issue thoroughly and recommend charges and prosecution of the culprits. I also recommend that the Sexual Offences Act include in it, its definition of sexual harassment and sexual comments in the social media. Today, as women, we agree that there is a lot of sexual insults on social media when you make a post on anything that has nothing to do with sex or is not even---"

"content": "Bw. Naibu Spika, ningependa kutoa maoni kuhusu kauli ya Sen. Catherine Mumma kuhusu janga la madawa ya kulevya, hasa kwa vijana wetu. Wakati husika inaangalia suala hili, wajaribu pia kuangalia vile hali ilivyo, hasa wakati wa likizo. Hii ni kwa sababu wananchi wengi wanajua ya kwamba – na hasa katika kaunti yangu – watoto wanajifunza kula miraa, kuvuta sigara wakati wa likizo. Tunataka kujua wakati huu Kamati inafanya investigation yake, wajaribu pia kuangalia ni pesa ngapi zinazotumika na NACADA kwa upande wa mashule. Ni vipi ambavyo bajeti hii inaweza kutumika kwa upande wa mashule ili watoto waweze kufunzwa heshima na namna ya kuishi bila matumizi wa madawa ya kulevya. Kuna wakati ambao, aliyekuwa makamu wa Rais, alikuwa anahusika sana na suala hili. Tungependa kujua hicho kitengo ama zile pesa ambazo alikuwa anafanya mikutano nayo, zilikuwa ni pesa ngapi, zilitumika sehemu gani – kwa sababu inaonekana kama baada ya yeye kuondoka, hiyo programme imenyamaza. Tunataka kujua nani anashughulikia suala hili la watoto wetu wakipotea kwa mambo ya madawa ya kulevya, hasa wakati shule zimefunga na watoto wako kwa likizo."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy, Speaker, Sir. I would like to comment on two statements. Let me begin with the Statement by the distinguished Senator from Kirinyaga County regarding the status of medical cover for teachers. Right outside, we are seeing demonstrations. Those are medical interns, doctors, who are also raising concerns about their welfare. The issue of welfare on teachers is very important. I hope that the new Chairperson of the Committee on Education will seriously take these matters of insurance. We know that insurance is where many people get money for free. So, we as the entire House, must sit down and finalise this issue of benefits. When Sen. Cherarkey was making his submissions on the issue of teachers, he raised a very important issue. My own sister retired from the teaching service about three years--- I request for just one more minute. Until today, she is still chasing the TSC and the National Treasury to get her pension. When she goes to the National Treasury, she is told her voucher is being prepared and she will get her money once they are through. This has never happened. We really need to think about our society. We need to be serious about how we can support our society on this matter. I support that statement. Secondly, let me comment on this issue of drugs not reaching hospitals. I would like to let the House know that, this afternoon, I will be meeting with the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Education, the Director of Medical Services and other stakeholders to discuss this issue of KEMSA. The issue of drugs not reaching the patients and hospitals was raised by Sen. Cherarkey."

This is the issue of KEMSA on their ability to take drugs all the way to Level 2 Hospitals. Today, we have been told there is a problem of drugs in Nandi County. Tomorrow, it will be Laikipia, Nyandarua or Kirinyaga counties. We need to come up with a solution because SHA is not working---"
