Molo, JP): Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Planning the following Question: a) Could the Cabinet Secretary assure Kenyans of the integrity and reliability of the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) in light of recent mishaps in county budgeting whereby some county governments have taken on board budget items meant for the national Government? b) Could he confirm whether the IFMIS has ever been hacked into and, if so, what safeguards have been put in place to secure the system from cyber-attacks? c) What measures is the Ministry taking to solve ...

I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to the Report by the Departmental Committee on Health. From the outset, I would like to continue from where Hon. Millie Odhiambo has left. I thought cases of mental health, especially those of suicide were only in my constituency. However, I have heard that this is an issue in every constituency across the country. We have Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital that is mandated to deal with matters of mental health. This referral hospital needs to do much more. Because they are mandated to train ...

Issues of mental health are best dealt with at the prevention stage. The reason for this is usually frustration among our young people. Are people frustrated because they are looking for jobs, but do not get them? On that note, there are jobs that have been advertised and are coming up soon by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) on the census. The young people are saying that we should give the jobs, especially the enumerators and graduate jobs to young people who do not have jobs. We have a lot of respect for our civil servants and teachers. ...

We expect Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital to do more research and make sure that the Ministry of Health and our county governments allocate money to hire mental health professionals in the small hospitals. One of our Big Four Agenda is UHC. It is said that you put your food where your mouth is. The KNH has a deficit of Kshs3.6 billion as shown in this Report. If you are talking about UHC, it is quite unfortunate. The procurement of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment for KNH has taken too long despite money having been allocated for it. It ...

I want to talk about the incomplete projects in some of the referral hospitals where a building - an outpatient unit or maternity wing - started but has not been completed. It is quite unfortunate. I have taken initiative in my constituency through the NG-CDF and have told the NG-CDF Committee not to start any project unless we have enough funds to complete it. This will help us to end ghost projects where projects start and stall for years. That becomes a sunk cost. Money is used in a project which does not benefit the people.
