• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I would actually go with what is in the Bill. If you say “and”, remember the Chairperson is not executive. So, for any decision being made where the CEO has to sign, they will still have to wait for the Chairperson as well. I think that will make the Chairperson executive. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Although I am a Member of the Committee and I was generally convinced, I appreciate that this is a very complex Bill. If we remove the voluntary aspect and then introduce it again and give the Board the authority to work on those voluntary contributions, the implementation of that will be extremely complex. Remember that in other places you have defined who the contributors are. We should protect the contributions by defining the contributors. I would go by what the Leader of the Majority Party is saying. Let me demystify something about Alliance High School. If you go to a ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I agree with the first bit, that they invest as indicated. However, the second bit of providing or buying equipment is not clear to me. It has to go. If it is deleted, it will be fine. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Let me start by supporting the further amendment. If we include the Kenya Health Professionals Oversight Authority, then, at least, you take care of a lot of the health providers that will be serving the Fund. However, in the original Clause 3A, there was the inclusion of the Director-General for Health or a representative. I have noticed that this has been left out. I really do not understand why we do this because eventually, this Fund pays for health services. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: I can hear Dr. Pukose saying that the PS for Health is included. I have been in these boards, and if you sit in a meeting with the PS and without the Director-General for Health, there are many technical issues that cannot be answered. I accept that the PS is included, but I really think the inclusion of the Director-General should be considered. We can move a further amendment. What is the insurance going to serve? view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. To a large extent you have summarised what I wanted to say. The cases start like they are criminal cases. The persons will be found guilty and they would be jailed. There is actually need for another process to start. It is the process of seeking compensation from the Government. That is where the weakness is. Even when judgment is given and payment decreed, normally, you would expect the ministries and the officers concerned, particularly the PSs and the CSs to know what judgment came against them through the Attorney-General’s office and then request for those ... view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: I second. view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose this Bill. I was involved in the Bill and the Act that is being repealed. As far as I can see, even looking at the Committee Report, the only issue is that this Authority is going to handle the funds that are currently being handled by the Ministry. That is the only thing. There are statements like it is not in line with the PFM Act. I know many other funds that have also been started and have not been in line with the PFM Act. Why are those funds ... view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: A lot of funds are being used in social assistance. I know the history of social assistance. Orphans and vulnerable children, persons living with disability, and the elderly should benefit. They are clearly defined in the Act. So, I do not understand why we would remove an Act and replace it with regulations, and then say that we are putting it under regulations, but we are coming up with an Act. What would have happened is that they would have come up straight with an Act that would either amend this or if they are repealing, we would see that ... view
