• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, but I had raised a point that will be--- view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not sit on that Committee. So, just allow me if you will. There are different ways of managing healthcare, not just in Kenya, but across the globe. You could lease equipment, do direct procurement or do a Managed Equipment Scheme. Sen. Olekina brought up a very important issue of placement and that is where we get help. This is where manufacturers could place medication in hospitals and the drugs are leased to patients on prescription and paid for upon use. This is so that when the drugs are expiring, the manufacturers bear the responsibility ... view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will skip the tables and the figures because I have just received them. Since you have said there will be engagements going into the future, perhaps we can transact that business elsewhere. I will go straight to my two supplementary questions. Madam Cabinet Secretary, my appreciation of SHA and SHIF as a Kenyan and not as a Senator is that your Ministry is trying to climb a tree from the top. That is my honest response to SHA and SHIF. Why? This is because the Universal Health Care (UHC), which is not a Kenyan programme, ... view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health regarding the status of health facilities in Kitui County. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide the total number of health facilities in the county categorized by classification and indicate which are operational and which are non-operational. (2) Explain the reasons for the frequent shortage of essential drugs and the inefficiencies in their distribution across county public health facilities. (3) List the number of staff working under the county health department with year-by-year data from 2013 to date. ... view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not satisfied with any of the responses that have been given. On the first Question, the Cabinet Secretary should go on record. This is the Senate. She should go on record and state that the Government was not ready for UHC. This is because, in so many words, that is what you are saying. You are saying, you do not have infrastructure and personnel. Go on record and say that we were not ready as a country for the rollout of UHC. You cannot tell a sick nation that you are putting money into ... view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: On the issue of faith-based facilities, what baffles many of us is that this is already realised revenue. It is not money that --- Cabinet Secretary, if you listen to the questions, you may--- view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am asking her a question and she is talking. How is she listening? view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is the guidance you should give us. We speak while looking at her so that when we see her asking a question, then we stop. Otherwise, who are we addressing? view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us agree that this is an important issue. This is not about anyone. The Cabinet Secretary has said that there is a plan on the issue of private and faith-based facilities. We already have realised revenue. This is not money that they are supposed to be looking for and paying. As I sit down, I want the Cabinet Secretary, everyone in this House and I to realise that we can speak in the comfort of this City because we have hundreds of facilities around us. In the marginalised areas of Kenya, faith-based organisations and private ... view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as the Senator who raised the questions, I must say that I am grosssly and completely underwhelmed by the responses from the Cabinet Secretary. I join my colleagues in requesting the House to direct the Cabinet Secretary to make arrangements to appear before a Committee of the Whole House so that we can engage on issues, especially on SHA and SHIF. Lastly, I do not know whether Sen. Mandago saw the right person. I do not know that person. I would actually feel insulted if the CEO of SHA was seated at the Gallery The electronic ... view
