Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health regarding the criteria used by the Social Health Authority (SHA) to empanel clinical officers. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, concerns have been raised that SHA only recognises clinical officers affiliated with the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU), leaving out the rest, including those affiliated with the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO). This has far-reaching implications as it places an unfair financial burden on millions of Kenyans, especially in rural areas, who have to pay cash to access health care services at trusted health facilities operated by the excluded clinic officers. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain the criteria used by the SHA to empanel clinical officers and their respective facilities, addressing the concerns that only clinical officers affiliated with the KMPDU are recognised. (2) Outline any measures in place to ensure that all qualified clinical officers and their respective health facilities are empanelled to facilitate seamless access to health care services across the country by everyone registered with SHA.
