This is an avenue for corruption. We should amend this Bill by removing this section so that any surplus funds should be banked at the CBK. This is because if you leave the board of trustee to determine where to bank, they will start rent-seeking activities and negotiating with banks on issues of interest rates. This will create live issues of corruption. Otherwise, creating this Fund will enable the sporting activities in Kenya to be promoted. They will have a stable financial banking which will ensure we tap talent from every section of this corner and ensure sporting activities become ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, and happy new year to you and all my colleagues. I rise to support the Bill. This is a good move. It will give a boost to the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS), KEBS and Poisons Board of Kenya in dealing with matters of health, safety, environment and general trade facilitations. You will realize that a country like Rwanda, which is far below Kenya’s economy, has an accreditation services body whereas Kenya, which is the biggest economy in the East African region, does not have a similar body. So, I thank the Committee for having ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving the opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. At the outset, I declare that I support the Report on Kenyatta University Teaching and Referral Hospital. Kenya is facing a population increase every year but we do not expand the existing facilities at the same rate. This is a very good initiative. I congratulate Kenyatta University for starting this noble project. We only have two main referral hospitals in Kenya. Let us not talk about the Coast Referral Hospital and Nakuru Referral Hospital because they are government hospitals that do not function efficiently. ...

This country has a population of 40 million Kenyans. We are on the verge of collapse in terms of provision of medical services. This hospital will supplement the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital and KNH in provision of medical services. I want to give an example. My driver and bodyguard had an accident last year. I almost lost my driver because all the hospitals in this country mainly in Nairobi and its neighbourhood did not have even a single vacant ICU bed. From the time they had an accident at about 9.30 p.m., we managed to get a single unit ...

When we arrived at the MP Shah Hospital, we were told to give a down payment of Kshs600,000 at midnight. Where would a common man get that kind of money? We need to change the system in this country so that we do not require any deposit for emergency treatment in health facilities. Let us put enough resources in Government facilities and enact laws to protect the mwananchi who goes there for emergency services to be treated. A patient should be treated first and then the hospital can follow up for payments later. The Big Four Agenda by President Kenyatta ...

be started. Why did they not allocate money to this noble project that saves lives? It is a pending project.

Under the NG-CDF provisions - the Members here can concur with me - the NG-CDF Board does not approve any new projects. They are directing all finances to complete the already existing projects. Where was the National Treasury? There are circulars to the effect that projects in progress should be completed first. They are not thinking about life. I am just wondering why a whole Parliament should sit to debate a report on how to give money to a noble project like this one. Somebody must be sleeping on the job. Finish this thing quickly. Commission the facilities at the ...
