• 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

• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this chance. I will be a little limited because after the Mover moved this Motion, we got more explanation from Hon. Duale. I thank both Hon. Wangwe and Hon. Duale, especially Hon. Duale, for his clear explanation on what Waqf is and how it works within Islamic law. What I have understood about Waqf is that it is an endowment made by a Muslim to a religious, educational or charitable course. That is good because this will go a long way to help, improve, assist and excite and incite more people to donate ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: in that funeral. I believe that in Vihiga, Emuhaya and other places in Kenya, we require this law so that such donations are made and it is also provided how they are administered. What is the surety that after such donations are made, they will go for the purposes the donor intended? That is without other persons coming in to own and use them not in the intended way. In the spirit of the law, the commission will serve the entire country. It will not only be good for Muslims, but will also benefit Christians. If these donations were to ... view
• 7 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I pick the tone of Hon. Gikaria. I happen to have been a sportsperson. In 1988, I was in the Kenyan national team that went to South Korea. This Petition is good. I agree with a number of things in it including the Paralympics that deal with people who are of that kind of nature. However, when it comes to the bit of schools, it will be very difficult maybe to the Committee that will be looking at this. Sports in schools are managed by the Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association and the Ministry of Education. ... view
