Health being as important as it is, there has not been coordination between the two levels of government and particularly the management of health services in the rural areas. If you do anything at the health centre or dispensary in my county, you will be said to be interfering with devolution. It is like this is a preserve of the county government, but while this is so, dispensaries have been abandoned. They are in dire state. They do not have medicine and services are not provided. Some of them are not functional. The county government is not doing anything at ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to make my remarks on this important Adjournment Motion. Papa Francis’ visit is very important for this country. For us, it is a great moment and I call upon everybody to come out in large numbers to receive Papa Francis tomorrow. All of us, including hypocrites, pretenders and sinners should seize the opportunity to receive the Pope’s blessings. This is the time for reflection and everybody should be able to repent, reconcile, come together as Kenyans and remain together with the Pope’s blessings. Tomorrow is a great day. Members ...

The laws that are in place need to be strengthened to ensure that the use of guns in this country is controlled and we can monitor everybody who carries a gun from the Defence Forces, the police, civilians and everybody else who is licensed to carry a gun. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am aware that time is up. We are determined to convert this Motion into a Bill. We should make more contributions and ensure that we support security in our country. I am affected. My neighbour, Hon. Lusweti, has just mentioned that in Bungoma, where he and I ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I wish to agree with the Hon. Chairperson that some of the amendments proposed to Clause 4 are rather ambiguous. When we talk of “community” we may mean a ward or wards. We have people living in villages, sub-locations and locations. Are they not in those areas or are they not communities? These ones required more clarification. I am, therefore, reluctant to support these amendments. Similarly, the last amendment to part (c) does not add any value. So, I support the Hon. Chairperson in opposing those amendments. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady.

Thank you, Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I also concur with the Chairman and members of the Committee. There must always be mechanisms for resolution of issues. You cannot have one way out and lock out other ways, which may have the matter resolved. I, therefore, agree with the Committee that this amendment should be rejected.
