• 28 Sep 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, you need to clarify something for the record. When the Vice Chair stood up, she proposed that Clause 13 be passed as amended. Which version was she talking about? There is need for clarification on that. Was she supposed to be proposing or moving an amendment? view
• 28 Sep 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I second. view
• 27 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have heard the proposal from the Senate Majority Leader on 10 minutes. I am also hearing other people saying five minutes. Let it be a maximum of 10 minutes. If you cannot use 10 minutes you can use two minutes. Those who can use 10 minutes will do so. Let us agree on time. view
• 27 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Oketch Gicheru for donating his time to me. I will donate my time to him when that opportunity comes. I will begin by thanking the Mover of this Bill, Sen. Cheruiyot. When he was moving it, he made it clear that it is one of four Bills whose aim is to ensure that we entrench Universal Health Care in the practice of medicine in this country. It is not an idle saying that prevention is better than cure. When we focus on preventive healthcare, we are likely to attain a healthy nation. ... view

• 27 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: “Every person has the right to the highest attainable standard of health, which includes the right to health care services, including reproductive health care.” The objects of the Bill are okay. Also, the primary healthcare workforce proposed is acceptable. However, I begin to have challenges from Clause 10 on the functions of the community health promoters. Clause 10(2)(j) is a clear and outright violation of the provisions of the Data Protection Act - “Submit reports, at such intervals as shall be determined by the county director of health, on the health of each member of an assigned household and the ... view

• 27 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have many hospitals in this country that are run by faith- based organisations. My church; the African Inland Church (AIC), runs very successful health facilities. The Catholic Church runs very big hospitals. The Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA), the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) and the African Gospel Church (AGC) run various facilities. All faith-based organisations must have a say in this Council and in the Committee as well. They have been left out. We also have representatives of medical practitioners. These are the people who know where the rubber meets the road. They are ... view
• 27 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my two minutes are still valid, I guess. I do not want to argue with the Senate Majority Leader on that issue of involvement of Senators. This is because we are not accruing a benefit by oversighting. It is a responsibility and not a benefit. That is what we were elected to do. We oversight. I think that one is not right. On the matter of the membership to that Committee, I said, let us have the Senator as an automatic member. Let us also have the health practitioners and the faith-based organisations involved in that committee ... view
• 27 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to inform the Senator for Migori County not because I am his senior, but it is important I do so. The line that the Senator is taking on the Ministry providing money to the county governments for facilitation and to ensure the success of primary healthcare, I would rather, he changes that line and just pushes for the money to be directed to the county governments, so that they can make decisions and facilitate those decisions and regulations. So that every time that the county government is ---- view
