• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This has been the most difficult work we have done in the Committee of the whole House. I will reiterate what the Member for Tongaren said. It is not only the Health Bill.

• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: With regard to the cost of healthcare, it is multifaceted. We need to get a benefit package. What is the minimum care that you need and the cost should be same, whether you are in Nairobi Hospital or a hospital in Nyeri? If it is a caesarean section, it should be the same cost.

• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: The issue here is that in many of these cadres, you have people who are degree and diploma holders. The pursuit has been that to a large extent, a large number of them have been diploma holders. Then we have a few of them who are degree holders.

• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to support this amendment. For me, even in the other amendment, I would have loved the CoG to be there. The biggest clients of KEMSA will be the county governments. Therefore, it is important that they sit in this board. There are many issues that are coming.
