• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think this is a matter of information. I know Hon. Pukose is a Member of the Departmental Committee on Health. In the proposed amendments, the proposer was talking about Kshs100 to Kshs150 for the youths and vulnerable groups. I do not know if I have the right information, but I think he needs to expound on this. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was very excited when the Chairlady of the Departmental Committee on Health made these amendments. She was saying there is a turn of events. I have read the proposed amendments. The NHIF started somewhere in 1966 and some people were not even born by then. Basically, I want to support this because she mentioned that the youth could contribute up to Kshs150. If this is true, I will support it because it will be open and accessible to all the stakeholders, particularly the unemployed. Secondly, there is a saying that a healthy nation is a ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: up, including COVID-19 which is a big problem. We do not know its origin and in the Third Reading, we want to mandate NHIF to cater for those who are affected by it. They ought to access medication even if they have tested positive for COVID-19. They are claiming that this is a pandemic. How? I do not have a way of defending myself against a pandemic. Therefore, it is erroneous and we should include it. We never know what other pandemics may come but for this particular time, many people have had this problem. Secondly, we MPs get many ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Another problem I have seen is that there is a lot of corruption in this country, especially in the management of some of those funds. I do not know what we will do but, we should be very clear about the management of those funds being above board. So, those who partner with us are encouraged to do so. The risk we have is a facility like this one in the next two to three years being run down due to corruption and somebody is arrested. We want to ensure that the management of those facilities are by people who ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: I take this opportunity to support this Amendment Bill because it has come at the right time. At the same time, we should take some time to explain to our people who are the beneficiaries on how it will help them. That way, they can contribute voluntarily towards NHIF. It should not be punitive if one does not contribute. For example, we want to encourage the boda boda riders because they are the ones riding around in a very risky manner. You see them on the roads riding carelessly. The risks they undertake while rushing to make a daily earning ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have been listening. I take this opportunity to make my remarks. We need some clarifications which have been given. Therefore, I agree with the House that, first of all, we have had this law since 1951 when some of us were not even there. The purpose of it coming before this House is for us to rectify and make sure that it is not necessarily Islamic. It has been made very clear that this is not necessarily Islamic although it was moved by the Islamic community and has been there for some time. I agree ... view
• 8 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: (Kwanza, FORD-K) view
• 8 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with all due respect, I think we are talking about the Sugar Bill very seriously. Is the Member on the Floor in order to bring in party politics in this discussion? Much as Hon. Wamunyinyi had brought this and with all the respect I salute him, Hon. Dr. Eseli should not bring politics into this discussion. view
• 7 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: I want to take this opportunity to first of all thank the Chairman of this Committee for having this Bill come to the House with clear objectives and reasons which have made everybody to support it. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to also take this opportunity on my own behalf to say that we want to have foreign missions with sharp and well-trained personnel. I have been in this country longer than most of the people here. I am bit disappointed. I do not even know when the rain started beating us. Kenya was a big brother in the ... view
• 7 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: On that note, Chair, I want to address you on the serious problems in the Middle East. You have heard that our children, because of lack of jobs here, have been going to look for jobs in the Middle East and you can see what has been happening. I personally went to the Middle East and I want to say that I have bought property there. They came here and we went there. I can tell you our officers in the foreign mission in the Middle East are sleeping on the job. This is because those children who have been ... view
