• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to be heard in silence. I appreciate the sentiments of my good brother, Sen. Sakaja. With tremendous respect, allow me to share my opinion and why I feel it is getting frustrating to sit in this House and watch this House, through its committees, be led from outside. This is the problem that we are facing as a House, where we have the Majority led by the Minority. The Leadership of this House has no time to sit in the Senate, consult and listen to what the backbenchers have to say. With a lot ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I want to believe first and precisely that with a lot of respect, Sen. Olekina, you cannot guarantee me Universal Health Care until this law is passed. It is on the basis of providing Universal Health Care to all Kenyans that I support this Bill. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is on this basis that I am willing and ready, depending on the amounts that will be set by either the Cabinet Secretary or the Board as proposed in the Bill; to contribute to this Fund not because I would have really wanted to, but as a politician and citizen of this county with relatives and friends, the burden of contributing to healthcare or medical bills‘ harambees will come to an end. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: That is why I feel mandated and persuaded to support this particular Bill. Just like Sen. Olekina has said, I would want to have a situation whereby anybody who goes to hospital will get equal treatment, equal accommodation and equal respect regardless of their class or the cover that will be there. Considering that word – universal, it must be available to everyone. Those people that are financially endowed can always buy insurance from private insurance providers. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would want to see a situation where public hospitals give the best treatment and care because this is where most of Kenyans go for medical treatment. We go to private hospitals because that is where we think we will get the best. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: The beneficiaries of this Fund and money that we contribute mostly goes to private hospitals because that is where most people go. We want to have a paradigm shift in the manner in which our Kenyan people take the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF). Most of that money should go to the public hospitals so that majority of Kenyans can go to public hospitals, so that we build capacity in our public hospitals where our fellow citizens will get the best. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the membership of the proposed board, it will be necessary and important to have people who understand and know what the common man goes through. I am disappointed by the proposers of the Bill. There is no proposed name of persons from the political divide. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: The politicians whether as Members of County Assembly (MCAs) or Members of Parliament are the people who are confronted by the public on all problems; whether medical, school fees and other issues. Since medical bills give us the greatest nightmares, we should have had a person to represent in this category that is elected by the people in the board. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this person would be able to push the agenda of the greatest beneficiaries of the harambee funds we are asked to contribute to. Thank you. view
