we have not provided jobs for. Therefore, before we make it mandatory for people to join the Fund, it must be mandatory first for the Government to ensure that those people are in gainful employment where they earn a living and an income to contribute to the Fund. Two, Clause 24 is the other provision about which I have serious reservations. In the Nyayo days, in the old dark days of the KANU regime, State corporations used to be exempted from the provisions of the State Corporations Act and used as avenues to loot public coffers. I am afraid that ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you listened to me clearly, I was using it as an example of attempts by the Executive to use exemptions in the State Corporations Act like was done in the old KANU days. Probably, if you were being tutored by the KANU regime, that is why you see this inclination. I was speaking to Clause 24 which proposes to amend Section 34 of the Act to mandate the NHIF Board to invest in the procurement and acquisition of essential medical equipment and supportive infrastructure to empanel concerted healthcare providers. People who are empanelled or contracted ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for protecting me from the Member for Garissa Township. Probably he runs a hospital in Garissa or somewhere. I am not saying he is one of the tenderpreneurs. I know him. He was not involved either in the MES scandal or the KEMSA COVID-19 billionaires scandal. I was speaking about those who were involved. We are also in a state where State capture is so real. I must be a cautious Member of Parliament. When I see attempts to give such powers to the NHIF Board, I must treat it with caution. When we ...

Thank you Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Petition by Hon. Isaac Njoroge and Ms. Mary Njoki on behalf of their children, Mary Wanjiru and Boniface Muriithi. The issues that the petitioners have raised in the Petition are not just weighty issues relating to the education of our children, but are very critical especially this time when we are confronted with a period where the curriculum of the candidates who will sit their KCPE and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams this year, that was to be covered in two years, will be covered in about one -and-a-half ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for protecting me from Hon. Kajwang’ and those who are exiting. Hon. Kajwang’ is kindly advising them to exit to Uhuru Park. Maybe he has a plan of swearing in the failed Jubilee candidate, Kariri Njama at Uhuru Park. I was saying, this Petition is indeed true. There was a lot of skewed marking of last year’s KCPE exams. The issue that I want to bring to the attention of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research and why I mention the budgetary allocation that we allocated to the Ministry of Education is simple. I have ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to begin from where the Leader of the Majority has stopped with the example of the East African Marine Cable. If we get all manner of brokers as he has said and any of them can offer a better deal and negotiate with those two providers then, why not? We are talking about public funds being used and we must ensure it is in the most prudent and efficient way. I can hear the Leader of the Majority Party saying these are private funds. They are private funds which private investors are coming to ...
