• 22 Nov 2018 in Senate: 28th November, 2018. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Before I read the Statement, I wish to say that health is a devolved function. It is really important for the Senate to be on top of things in terms of health functions and the sector in general. Secondly, there are various initiatives that have been put in place by the Government in terms of providing proper healthcare. Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No. 48(1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health on the policy and implementation of universal healthcare in the counties. In the Statement, the Ministry ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: launched so that it goes on without any problem. As far as medical equipment is concerned, over which I believe most of the counties have issues, there are variations in figures; from Kshs95million to Kshs200 million. This has not been explained to the counties. The other day, Nyamira County Executive appeared before the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) and, they told us that they do not even know what has been procured. Procurement is being done without their involvement. They are also paying for equipment that has not been delivered up to now. The figures have moved from ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: The other point is that the rates charged on these figures are exaggerated compared to the market rate. This has to be explained by the Ministry of Health. Again, there is no disclosure. I am sure the Senator for Nyamira is here. We requested the Governor for Nyamira to give us the copy of the agreement and he said he does not have it and he has to look for it. The Ministry should provide all this information. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is no proper and adequate consultation in terms of how that equipment is procured. That has to be explained properly to the Senators. The procedures used in coming up with those figures have to be explained also. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: There is also the issue of the cost of repairs of that equipment. Initially, we knew that maintenance costs and the repairs were supposed to be part of the agreement but right now the counties are taking that burden of ensuring that equipment is working through maintenance. That has to be explained by the Ministry. Why the change of plan? view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: In some of the counties where that equipment has been delivered, some of it is just lying there without experts to run it. If this equipment is run and managed properly, it will help Kenyans who are suffering, pay money from their pockets and travel all the way from those counties to Kenyatta National Hospital. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Pareno needs to look at the current Standing Orders. It allows this. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am just elaborating my statement. Finally, if I may conclude, that equipment is underutilized. That should not be the case. It is important for the Ministry to explain to the Senators how they are running that equipment and the kind of contract they have entered into. On the universal healthcare, they need to explain the legal framework and so on so that the Senate will be on board in its oversight role. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- view
