• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you remember that this scheme or project was one of the serious projects of the Jubilee Administration. No wonder these contracts were being signed in State House. The whole intention was to give or provide accessible healthcare to our citizens, which idea was good and we all support it. Having heard many people who perused the Report, I have not seen anywhere written that so and so contractor continues to receive money for items or equipment that have not been delivered. In Meru County, the failure to have an ICU was because the county was not able ... view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it also important for me to bring to your attention and that of the House, that before we were de-whipped from the Committee on Energy, where I served as a Member with Sen. Seneta as our Vice Chairperson--- I cannot see the Chairman of the Committee on Energy. We were looking at the matter of inflated bills and transformers. I am surprised that this report has never come to the House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you should reprimand the Chairperson of this Committee because we took a lot of time considering this matter; the fraud, theft and the ... view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I agree with the directions that you have given. If the Chairperson of a Committee is not in the House, the Vice Chairperson is supposed to take charge and ensure that business goes on but do not forget that a precedence has been set in this country where deputies are not assigned any work to do. I have been a Vice Chairperson of a Committee, so I know what happens in the Committees. The Vice Chairpersons are not allowed to even chair meetings. I say that because I do not know whether ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the comments made by Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura in this Petition. Further, UHC under the Big Four Agenda of the President of this Republic is something that we cannot wish away and is so important to this country. view

• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we are to succeed in ensuring that there is UHC in this country, transparency, honesty and genuineness is required in the manner we conduct ourselves in terms of advice and how hospitals treat our patients. I do not know whether people are aware that right now even when those covered under NHIF are admitted to any hospital in this country, there is pre-authorization before any hospital accepts to treat you. The sad thing is that even after treatment, patients are forced to stay in hospitals awaiting payment from NHIF because they appear to not have enough ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second the amendment to the Motion by Sen. (Dr.) Ali. The Senate has several reports to adopt. We have so many reports from Committees that need to be considered and adopted by this House. The proposal that has been made by the Senate Majority Leader means that we will travel from our constituencies on a Tuesday to attend an afternoon sitting skip a day, Wednesday, doing nothing in Nairobi and then come back to the Chamber for another sitting on a Thursday. That is waste of time. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: I support Sen. (Dr.) Ali that we should resume sitting on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays because we have a lot of work to do. It is necessary to use our time prudently because we travel from our constituencies to attend sittings. We cannot waste a whole day doing nothing. view
