• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to thank you for the direction you are giving. We have seen severally, good requests for Statements made here. I remember vividly one that I was so passionate about by Hon. Malulu Injendi, but it could not be pursued further. We are now changing by asking Questions. However, I also want to inform you, Hon. Speaker, that even when we ask Questions, that Cabinet Secretary does not answer them. Last week, this document was read here. Remember, I had complained about the same scenario the other time. This time we were given a paper ... view
• 10 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance. I also watched and followed everything. I thought what the IEBC Chair wanted to come out is almost what has come out from the speaker before me. He wanted to create a grey lacuna The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 10 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: within the country and the mindset of Kenyans, that finally, Parliament will be resisting these Regulations. You can see if the debate will take that kind of route, then we will be blamed for having refused to deal with the Regulations. I thank Hon. Junet for pointing out that these Regulations came late. So, finally, the Hon. Members who are here will be looked upon as people who did not want this to happen, and as they reach the ground, they will be having a certain tint on them that they were against these Regulations. So, he is laundering himself ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to make just a few comments on this Bill that concerns the NHIF and health cover. Health is so fundamental, especially having gone through the COVID-19 period. We realised that the strength of the national health system is extremely very important because nobody was able to move from our country to any other to get health care. Even as we stand today, it remains vital and a realisation to all the communities of the world that universal health care system The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: is important. Therefore, the public facilities within the Ministry of Health or health care are very vital. This is generally a holistic and very good Bill because it tries to expand the healthcare coverage system to reach out to every Kenyan so that everybody will benefit. However, I would wish to raise a few issues which could help to make the Bill even stronger. The NHIF was established way back by workers. It is just the workers who established the NHIF. It was formalised in 1966 by an Act of Parliament, which was Cap 255 of the Laws of Kenya. ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: may look foreign when you look at the example of Britain. You could also compare it with that of Rwanda. After the genocide, Rwanda built a very good healthcare system. If you look at the two healthcare systems, you may notice that the Government still has a chance of organising such a Fund without dealing with the NHIF. I also know that the NHIF would be a stepping stone upon which the Government could take off to get universal health care. It is because further facts are that, all the health insurance schemes in this country – they are 32 ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. I want to make my comments on the Petition by Mary and Isaac Njoroge, on behalf of the young ones. This is a very good Petition because in the first several weeks after the marking of exams, there was a lot of talk within the social media, other media and even on the streets that the marking process may have favoured public schools against private schools. This has gone on and it was almost dying. I am happy that this Petition has come up so that we can have a forensic audit of ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. I will be very brief. I support the Statement sought by Hon. Alfred Keter. The 100 per cent transition policy aims at actualising the law now that basic education is compulsory. The definition of “basic education” is going up to Form Four. So, we support the 100 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
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: per cent transition because it is good. However, the 100 per cent transition must be followed by funding. Unfortunately, something that Hon. Members have accepted, and one Member seems to allude to it, is that we now accept fully that it is the NG-CDF that is supposed to build infrastructure in schools. We are not putting pressure on the national Government to actually do the infrastructural development in our schools. We are just taking that burden continuously without complaining. Actually, the NG-CDF’s contribution to infrastructure development in schools should be very small. In fact, the opposite of what I see ... view
