• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Article 43 of our Constitution defines access to universal healthcare services as the right to the highest attainable health standards. The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines universal health coverage as access to promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative health services. However, certain things in this Bill need to be re-looked. First, we used to have the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) as a department of the Ministry of Health. That gave birth to the NHIF Act. The NHIF Act has had certain lacunas because of changing realities. It is those lacunas that this Bill attempts to ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: digitisation of health records, promotion of health tourism, provision for telemedicine and provision of health information systems. More importantly, we come from very remote villages like where I came from. The issue of monitoring patients remotely is critical. I remember in the second constituency I represent we got our first medical doctors four years ago. You can imagine the challenges those people have been going through. With this Bill, some of those challenges can be reduced. This will also reduce administrative costs. Data protection and privacy will also be very important. Inter-operability is also taken care of. You can have ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: No. Sorry. I think you have limited your horizon of appreciation of this Bill, my dear sister. You need to look at the Bill holistically. view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Let me say and read this. There is no confusion at all. The bit I am trying to say is this: If you look at both the letter and spirit of both Bills, there is a bit of reference to existing staff. I am sounding an alarm. Get this.

• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: the qualifications that you have given, by the time we pass this, I can assure you the next thing you will see is opportunities and vacancies for directors. Let us accept that is the reality. That is what I am alluding to. I understand the Bill. After we are done with this, I can bet that is the next thing we will be seeing. It is good, but we should also have regard for those who are currently there because this country has some of the best human resource capitals. That is the bit I am trying to say. I ... view

• 23 Aug 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. You have heard the Leader of the Majority Party cast aspersions on the leadership of the Minority side.

• 14 Jun 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have had the opportunity to work with the late President Moi, the late President Kibaki, President Uhuru Kenyatta, and now President William Ruto. We must all accept that we have a beautiful country called Kenya. All of us, as individuals and groups, must accept and believe in it. I know budget-making is emotive, difficult, and painful. I must say, as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, ours was an onerous task of going through different presentations by different groups from different sectors of our economy in The electronic version of ... view
• 14 Jun 2023 in National Assembly: pursuit of both their collective and individual rights. Kenya being a democracy, every Kenyan has a right to a divergent view. That is why the framers of our Constitution enshrined the right to public participation in our current Constitution. Being a leader and a Member of this House is a privilege. Kenyans, in their own wisdom, decided to have a few of us here as their representatives out of the 50 million Kenyans. We should reflect on that. I want to ask us questions without venturing into our political persuasions. Where were we in 1963? Where did our forefathers expect ... view
