• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: There were very minimal points of order. Members listened to each other. If you continue this way, we may reconsider the place of Parliament, so that we operate from here and debate more than argue. Parliament is a place for debating not for arguing. That is what I like about the session this afternoon. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the comments from all our colleagues. I request that you file your amendments tomorrow, if you strongly feel you should. Otherwise, let us give this proposal a chance. We have worked with the system of managing our health facilities for the ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, if you read the opening notes I had mentioned earlier, the whole concept of UHC is having preventive healthcare rather than what we presently have. The reason well-to-do Kenyans live a more-healthier life than those that are of a lower income bracket is because they are able to access preventive healthcare way in advance. They can go to hospitals at the slightest headache because they are insured and get checked, and whatever they are ailing from is detected and sorted out early. If you follow through our current health expenditure, nationally or at the county government, we ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, kindly allow me to say something on that. I mentioned that in my comments, but I do not mind repeating. We have between now and Midday tomorrow to file all our amendments and have the Committee either consider them or give an approval for them to come before this House, so that we do the Committee of the Whole tomorrow, as you convince us why you think we should proceed in a particular way. Therefore, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I repeat again for the sake of those who were not in at that time. Please, do ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: For the comfort of Sen. Sifuna and maybe those who feel like him, I will have you appreciate two things; that these amendments, if you listened to the debate that has come from both sides of the House--- None other than the Whip on my side has said he is filing an amendment. It is very clear to me that it is upon you, as a Member, to file your amendment and convince us that, “the reason I am proposing this amendment is because of a, b, c, d.” If it makes sense to everybody, I believe we will pass ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. For the comfort of Members who might be tired, we have agreed that since we had moved the Motion on extension of time, I will move this Bill and it will be seconded. If there are Members who feel like they have the energy and want to contribute on it, you can contribute. If you are tired, there will be an opportunity tomorrow. Most Senators have indicated that they are tired and would like to rest. Also, there are people who would like to save on the remaining time. It is now Eight O’clock ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Speaker, we have agreed that I move the Motion, it be seconded, then, end the debate at that point. This will allow time for those who want to leave. Sen. Wambua, I understand your point, but we have a Standing Order. In a few minutes, this House will not have quorum. We will proceed tomorrow to save on time. Sen. Sifuna has raised something valid with me; that the Speaker’s dinner is equally part of the programme. I will take five minutes to move the Motion. Sen. Mandago will also take five minutes to second, then we will ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate. view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: No, he is drafting his notes. Mr. Speaker--- Sorry, Madam Temporary Speaker, I apologise. It had not registered in my mind that there has been change. I beg to Move that The Primary Healthcare Bill (Senate Bills No.44 of 2023) be now read a Second Time. The Bill was first published on 15th September and read the First Time on 19th September. The principal object of this Bill is something important. This is because I have said that this is one of a series of the four bills, to be specific, that will come to this House in support of ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Sen. Sifuna, we have said ‘Amen.’ For us, Christians, we say you first confess, then you possess. There is such a theory. I am happy that Sen. Sifuna has confessed, all that is left is for him to now possess. Madam Temporary Speaker, not to lose the points, is that our CHP in Turkana County will receive equal training, just like any CHP in all parts of the country. What may vary is the number of homes that they will be taking care of, of course, because of the pressures of population. Therefore, when we focus on prevention, early intervention, ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: The Bill also creates the County Primary Health Care Advisory Committee at the county level. All the 47 counties will have this council that will be tasked with ensuring there is effective implementation of primary healthcare through resources. Number one is to mobilize resources. Senators, the reason I keep remind you that these Bills are four, is so that you do not lose track of every conversation. Remember, we have already ring-fenced in the previous Bill that you are canvassing, money that is raised at that particular health centre. We are now talking about other measures of revenue raising, still ... view
