"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek Statement from the Standing Committee on Health on a matter of national concern regarding ceaseless existence of expired medication in public health facilities countrywide. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, over the last three financial years the Auditor-General has flagged out the matter of the presence of huge amounts of expired drugs in most public health facilities in our counties. This is a matter that needs to be addressed urgently since it poses a great risk to the lives of Kenyans seeking treatment in public health facilities, as one never knows when an unscrupulous staffer in these hospitals might give such medication to unsuspecting patients. Coupled with this is a trend by medical professionals in public hospitals to refer patients to privately-owned pharmacies to buy medicines. Indeed, recently, the Mombasa County Government announced that it would not renew the licenses of pharmacies and chemists operating near public hospitals to tackle the exploitation of patients and curb unfair profits by these businesses. In the Statement, the Committee should address the following- (1) The total value of expired drugs in public health facilities from FY2022/2023 to FY2024/2025. (2) Reasons why county health facilities continue to stock expired drugs, including whether there is a possible involvement of county staff and other private health facilities in the pilferage of medicines supplied to public health facilities. (3) The gaps in the supply chain at the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) that could be leading to the supply and delivery of expired drugs or drugs with a shorter life span. (4) Possibilities of leveraging on technology in hospitals to monitor stock levels, expiry dates and any other useful data. (5) Viability of a policy to regulate chemists and pharmacies operating around public health facilities in the counties. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."

"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education on a matter of national concern regarding the tragic death of two Form Four students at Ramba Boys High School in Rarieda, Siaya County. I am not the Senator for Siaya. The two students lost their lives after falling into a septic tank within the school premises that collapsed on 22nd March, 2025. The students are said to have been together with others on top of the septic tank when it caved in, trapping them in while other students were seriously injured. This heartbreaking loss has sparked concern over the state of infrastructure in schools across the region and especially in rural areas. In light of this, I convey my sincere condolences to the bereaved families and demand the following- (1) That the Committee on Education addresses the circumstances leading to the deaths of the two students and the immediate action taken by the Ministry of Education in response to the tragedy. (2) A comprehensive audit of all sanitation infrastructural facilities in schools in the country to ensure they meet safety standards. (3) Measures taken by the Government to hold to account any officers found to have been negligent to prevent such fatal incidents in the future. I thank you."

In the Statement, the Committee should address the following- (1) The total amount paid by Kenya Power to independent power producers over the last two financial years, including the volume of power purchased and the total cost incurred by the utility company. (2) The amount within these payments that relates to electricity paid for but not consumed, classified as idle capacity under the take-or-pay contracts. (3) The mitigating measures in place to shield consumers from the cost of unused power and to prevent inefficiencies, mismanagement or potential abuse of the take-or-pay framework."
