• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Matters to do with health are very important. I have said in this House that a health nation is a wealthy nation.

• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: contributions were raised to Kshs500 per month, are completely unable to pay the premiums. It means that we must make it affordable for the majority of Kenyans, who cannot afford the Ksh500. view
• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Another thing that stands out concerning the NHIF is that a State officer who earns a salary of around Kshs1 million pays only Kshs1,800 to the NHIF while an ordinary citizen who does not have a job is required to pay Ksh500.

• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I want to start by thanking the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for doing a very good job because it is on the basis of the availability of resources that we are able to plan on national development. We require a lot of money from the taxpayers so that we can grow our country and stop relying so much on loans and funds from other countries. I support, particularly, the idea of scanners because, as I can see in the Report, the ... view
