"content": "county governments with the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, SRC, directives on Budgetary Caps for Rent Expenditure for Top Officials. In May, 2019, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), issued a circular directing all county governments to cease paying rent for governors, deputy governors and county assembly speakers. Additionally, the SRC mandated that these counties ensure the construction of official residences of these officials by 30th June, 2022. Failure to adhere to this policy has resulted in significant financial losses as some counties continue to spend millions of shillings monthly on rent. In the Statement, the Committee should address the following- (1) County governments that have disregarded the SRC directives on capping rent expenditures for top officials, specifying the amount of public funds spent beyond the establishment limits. (2) Counties that have failed to comply with the SRC directive issued in March, 2019, which required the completion of official residences of governors, deputy governors and county assembly speakers by 30th June, 2022. (3) Funds allocated for the construction of this official residences, highlighting counties where such projects have stalled or have not commenced despite budgetary provisions. (4) Policy and legal measures being implemented by the National Treasury, the Controller of Budget (CoB) and the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) to strengthen enforcement mechanisms and ensure compliance with SRC guidelines to prevent further misuse of public funds. (5) Disciplinary measures taken against county officials who have ignored SRC directives and authorized excessive rent expenditures, contrary to established guidelines. I thank you."

I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health regarding the shutdown of Kenya Health Information System, formerly known as the District Health Information System (DHIS), and its implications to health data management in Kenya. The Kenya Health Information served as a central nationwide health reporting database, playing a crucial role in collecting, analyzing and disseminating health data to inform decision-making in the healthcare sector. The system was hosted by the Health IT Department of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which provided both technical and financial support. Its recent shutdown raises significant concerns about the continuity of health data tracking, disease surveillance, and healthcare resource planning. In the Statement, the Committee should address the following-"

(3) The impact of the shutdown on healthcare service delivery, disease surveillance and policy planning, particularly in tracking outbreaks and managing national health programmes, and how these crucial services will be managed, given the time-sensitive nature of disease surveillance. (4) Whether any sensitive Kenyan health data has been lost, compromised or accessed by unauthorized parties following the KHIS shutdown. (5) Kenya's engagement with other partners in the development and maintenance of the KHIS, and what measures are in place to safeguard the nation's health data sovereignty in the future. I thank you."
