• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I beg to move and, once again, ask the Leader of the Minority Party to second. view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise also to support this Bill by Hon. Mishra and thank him for bringing this timely Bill. As Hon. Otiende Amollo has said, Kenya has reached a point where we should not be talking of referring anyone outside the country because we do not have capacity. We should have generated that capacity long time ago. We should be talking of excess capacity and ask people around the world to come and partake of those services especially looking at the emphasis we put on health, first of all, within our Constitution where Article 43(a) entitles every ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: reinstates that every person has the right to emergency treatment, which includes among other things, arranging for referral especially within the country, where the first provider does not… view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am sorry you missed what I said, but in the interest of time, it is in the Hansard . I will not repeat. view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I was just emphasising that if within our laws we have recognised the need for high quality care, we should go one step further and provide that in this country, so that Kenya can become a net exporter of medical services rather than an importer. We are actually importing services from other countries by sending patients there. view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Within our Vision 2030, when we identified the three pillars that are required, namely, Economic, Social and Governance pillars, health was given prominence. The national Government was to make strategic investments in health service provision to improve the quality of life of its population. Further commitments have also been captured within the Kenya Health Policy 2014 to 2030, which aims to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by scaling up the priority health services to the population in need. view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we know health is devolved courtesy of the 2010 Constitution and there have been changes. We must acknowledge that health as we knew it is not exactly the same bearing in mind the current challenges that it is facing in the counties. I am very worried with the ongoing talks by unions that they will be calling their members to strike because the Senate has failed to give counties money. I am not happy with what is happening there today because they seem to be going around in circles on what we had proposed for them ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: knew they were going there. But because they went for medical purposes, perhaps, the funds got exhausted and now the embassy is being told to help evacuate that person. Now, this will be done upfront so that the embassy knows that all precautions have been taken before the person travels. Like I said, what touches me, even as we are discussing this issue of referrals outside the country, is that we need that introspection within ourselves. Why do we not concentrate on providing the capacity in Kenya? What is it that is out there that we cannot do here in ... view
• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. After your analysis of the problem, I expected you to dismiss the Petition. It is because, increasingly, we are now seeing a situation where people lose in court, where people lose within a constitutional body, then they come to seek relief in Parliament which has no mandate to offer those reliefs.
