Hon. Speaker, it is true. On the day I sought the Statement, the Chair indicated that they were going to meet the Cabinet Secretary the following week, and he would give a response in two weeks’ time. Fortunately, or unfortunately, they happened to be in Mombasa with the Cabinet Secretary and I saw the matter in the media being canvassed in a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary even before the two weeks the Chair had requested lapsed. So, I expected that the following week or the week after, they would be kind enough to bring to the House what the ...

Hon. Speaker, you know Hon. Mwathi is my good friend and neighbour. Besides being my neighbour, he is my good friend and maybe he was not listening to what I was saying. I said that I made a request for a Statement. He has said that he is waiting for a copy of that Statement to attach. Therefore, I said if he needs a copy, I can even

Gladys Wanga it is, indeed, true that it was on the Committee’s own volition, but remember when I rose on a point of order, if the Chair, Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, Hon. Gladys Wanga can listen to me, I was aware and I indicated that it is on the Committee’s own volition. What I was trying to ...

I am asking this on a very serious note. If you sit as Speaker and allow Members to either use the Floor or Committees to drive political perceptions, we may as well know we are free to do that and we can use our Committees to discuss in the media and elsewhere anything on the Pandora papers and those who have stashed money out of our economy by investing elsewhere. We can also do it on our own motions!

Gladys Wanga, can listen to me, I was aware and I indicated that it is on the Committee’s own volition. What I was trying to avoid is Members of this House or chairpersons of committees using our committees to drive certain political perceptions. It is very possible today that as a Member, I can use this Floor or even committees’ sittings, with the ...

I was not able to contribute on the particular amendment yesterday. This is a good opportunity. I just want to mention that this is, indeed, a very good amendment, and I thank Hon. Gladys Wanga for it. The bills that are sent to NHIF by some healthcare providers are astounding. You may find paracetamol being sold at Kshs30 at the Nairobi Hospital, Kshs70 at another hospital and at Kshs10 at yet another hospital. With such a centralised healthcare management system, it will be possible for the NHIF to standardise the cost of pharmaceuticals and certain procedures at either private or ...
