• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: The community health workers must also be supported by supervision from Level 2 hospitals, where we have nurses who work with public health officers. They cover everything, namely, the nursing elements, the public health elements and curative elements. They must, therefore, work with Level 2 facilities so that it is part and parcel of our health system from Level 1 all the way to Level 6. It must be the first base for the national referral system. If we do that, I can assure you we will not regret the money we put there. We will achieve UHC and we ... view

• 29 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Today I have learned something; that, although politics is believed to be a game of perception, propaganda can never beat the truth. Therefore, I vote “Yes” because that is where the truth is. view

• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, there was a guideline given by the Temporary Deputy Speaker before regarding Hon. Osotsi’s amendment to the effect that it was changing the scope of the Bill in such a way that it would not be in line. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: It is the Kenya Roads (Amendment) Bill. Some of us had not seen those amendments. They sounded like very important amendments except that they were brought late. It would have been better if we were informed of what those amendments are. We are not revisiting. It is better if we were informed of those amendments so that we consider the rest of the Bill in the context of that. The details were not indicated in the advice. It is those details that I am keen to hear. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: The import of what I am saying is that, if the amendments are so gross that they change the whole Bill, it is reasonable. You cannot then bring it in but then Members could consider. If that is the consent, we may even have a consideration of rejecting the whole Bill when we come to Third Reading. That is something that, as Members, we must really take into consideration. Historically, we may reach a situation where we may reject the whole Bill on account that what was being amended was so important that if it cannot be brought in, then ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Chair, I support this. However, the need for details is extremely important on how the funds are used. Not only that, if you look at Clause 4(3), it says that the National Treasury shall facilitate an agreement between county government and development partner. That is a very huge agreement. I agree that county governments should start accessing funds, even from development partners directly, but the process that the county government reaches this agreement may also be of importance. So, a lot of details will be needed in this section. We are opening a big thing for the county governments which ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I do not know, but this is subject to your decision. Hon. Oundo sent a message to me and called me and indicated to me that I should move this on his behalf. In terms of procedure, we leave it to you whether that would be in order or not. I am ready and willing to move it so long as you give the permission that it can be done. view
