• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Bill comes to put in place the virtues and the expectations of the devolution. It is very important because health is a devolved function and the whole idea is to improve health service delivery in the devolved units through the promotion and the cooperation between the two levels of Government. Devolution is entrenched and this needs to be actualized. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: At the time, various issues of the recruitment, employment and deployment of health human resources have been issues that have caused a lot of discussion and problems so to speak. This includes the transfers, reviewing and making recommendations. My entry point is the need for an audit which is going to be part of this view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: amendment at 31 (1) (b). Having given those figures and that background, this audit is important for us to ccontextualize where we are, what are we doing, where is the shortage in numbers and how that can be corrected. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: Various other amendments are made, for example, in terms of reviewing recommendations for inter-county transfers that need to be made so that we can have both equity and equality in equal measure. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one of the issues when we talk about devolution is the issue of ensuring methods of equality within the various counties. Each county should be brought to a specific standard which is key. This is what is being recommended as an additional responsibility to the Kenya Health Human Resource Advisory Council. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: Other key parts that are being put into this as specific amendments are review and make recommendations for inter-governmental transfers, ensuring that balance is made, reviewing and making recommendations for training and healthcare, which is critical. When we think about the training and levels of training that are needed, we continue to see that sort of disparity. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: In that paper, they have talked about calculating allowance factors and how to go about that, how to go about determining staff requirements and establishing standard workloads which is important. They also mention that it is important to have the management staff, the administrative staff and the general support staff, rehabilitation staff and specialists be taken into consideration. All these are very key. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: Before we can begin to move, that audit needs to be done. This report is for 2014- 2018. So, I am sure the most recent report should be able to give that variation, show where the shortages are and show how to create that equality and bring them all to par. Review and make recommendations and remuneration of health welfare and health care professionals. We have spoken this at different levels. In the categories mentioned, they also delve into the community health workers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have had the Community Health Workers Bill as well as part and parcel ... view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: Among the various workers, we also have environmental health workers and community health workers in general who can make a big difference. When I look at this Bill, I get the feel of what is meant to happen. When you go to 31 (a) under recommendations which is specific; “review and make recommendations to the Cabinet Secretary”. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: The reason why this Bill did this was to move away from some of the issues that might come, for example, recommendations on remunerations which might be said to belong to another Commission’s work. Therefore, the logic was to come up with a way to ensure not all is lost and the conflict of what organization does what. It does not stop the bigger good of making this audit and ensuring that these reviews are done. view
