• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this chance. I join you, the Deputy Speaker, and all of our colleagues in appreciating and sending our greatest and best wishes to the County of Turkana as they host us for this year's edition of Senate Mashinani. I appreciate that the leaders have found time to welcome us into the beautiful County of Turkana, the cradle of mankind, the home of the world’s largest desert lake and so many attributes that we can list about this county. I know many of our colleagues like yours truly, this is the first time to be ... view

• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this chance to move this very important Bill. I beg to move that the Facilities Improvement Financing Bill (Senate Bill No.43 of 2023) be now read a Second Time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Senate, we would not have chosen a better destination to move this particular Bill before the House of the Senate than in Turkana County. Like my colleagues have said, Turkana County is filled with great potential. However, thanks to many reasons of which I do not wish to indulge in this afternoon, the county continues to suffer marginalization and various ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: This is so that the people of Turkana County can appreciate the goodies that the Senate has brought to them. The work of the legislature is to set laws and provide the legislative framework upon which the Government policy – either national or county governments – can be dictated and directed upon. It is my most sincere hope that we will have concluded the two Bills that the Senate has published by the time we leave Turkana County on Thursday. I am talking about the Facilities Improvement Financing Bill and the Primary Health Care Bill, whose report has just been ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: In fact, later on, I will refer to the amendments that have been proposed by the Committee on matters nomenclature. They have paid even greater attention so that the Committee is using a language that is agreeable to the provision of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. For instance, you will come across some words that have been used because of maybe poor drafting due to the Bill being hurried. If you read through the Report, it is using words such as ‘budgeted for’. This means that once resources have been budgeted for a certain purpose, you cannot divert to ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: One of the key measures that is being put is that before we even look at the resources that will be raised from the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) contributions and insurance funds, that which has already been collected is ring-fenced. This will perhaps come in the other Bills that will be coming to the House once the Assembly is done with them. Sen. Kavindu Muthama, in Machakos County, the collection from all your facilities will be ring-fenced. Governor Wavinya will not use it for any other purposes other than improving your own health facilities. This is a brilliant idea ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: know it, they are lost again in the same routes that you are blockading. That is why we have to provide all that in Clauses 9 to 20, the administration and improvement of this financing. Part 4 of the Bill, comprises Clause 21 to 26 which contains the financial provisions regulating the bank account for the facility improvement financing. These things have happened. I cannot remember which particular county it was but I know in my first days in the Senate, one of the petitions which a member of the public brought to the House around 2016 - Sen. Madzayo ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that pursuant to Standing Order No. 34(4) (a), the Senate resolves to extend its sitting time until the conclusion of debate in Order Nos.12 and 13 in today’s Supplementary Order Paper. I have seen the list of Members who want to speak on this topic. It will be unfair for us to have spoken and at 6.30 p.m. we rise without the conclusion of this debate. Therefore, I request that the House agree with me that we conclude on Order No.12, I give the reply and perhaps move or commence Order No.13. ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir for the opportunity to reply. I have listened to many reactions and proposals on this Bill by colleagues, who have taken time to explain where they agree with the Bill and where they disagree. There are two or three things I would like to clarify. First, Members must appreciate the procedure. view
