Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I want to thank Hon. Owino for bringing this Bill. These are the kind of Bills we should be giving priority in this House. The welfare of community health workers has been ignored for a very long time yet they play a big role in our society in terms of bridging the gap between the community and health facilities. They also play a role in prevention and cure. In Nairobi, we especially interact with many community health workers who are working in the informal sector.

Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU). He was an activist who fought for the doctors. However, given an opportunity, we have seen and appreciate that many facilities have been built around our city but they do not have medicine. These community health workers are not appreciated. You do not need a Bill to be brought to this House to do it.

Early Childhood Development (ECD) teachers are remunerated or paid by the county governments. They do not suffer the way the community health workers suffer. This is unfortunate. We must support this Bill, so that the community health workers can be supported.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This Clause is about the Political Parties’ Fund and how it is distributed, considering that in the past, there is a coalition partner that has been taking advantage of other political parties and not giving them their fair share.

This provision proposes to limit access to information by members of the public.
