• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I think you got it right. The Leader of the Majority Party missed something. I have no issue because the relevant agencies should be SRC and also Treasury. For you to determine remuneration, the board will consult not only with the SRC but with other government agencies. That is where I have a problem. Are we satisfied that SRC is the only institution that needs to be consulted? That is where I have a problem. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I beg to differ. I see a difference in the amendment by Hon. Ichung’wah vis-à-vis what is in the law. The Bill proposes that the authentication be done by the signature of the Chairperson, the CEO or any other persons authorised in that behalf by a resolution of the Board. There is a requirement for the resolution of the Board. Kimani Ichung’wah’s amendment states that the authentication should be done by the Chairperson and the CEO. You do not require a resolution of the Board for someone to authenticate. That is the how I understand it. Secondly, Hon. ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: No. There is something else. If you look at new Section 12(1) in the Bill, there is nothing else apart from the seal. Hon. Ichung’wah’s amendment widens the scope to include the authentication of the decisions of the Board. That was not in the original Bill. Those are the two differences. We need to agree on whether the amendments are good or bad based on those two differences. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, the original Bill already made the Chairperson an executive chairperson. I will explain. It states in part, “…authenticated by the signature of the Chairperson or…” which means that the Chairperson can authenticate alone without the CEO. He is already an executive chairperson. In fact, this amendment is making it even much better by reducing his powers because the CEO can do it. If you get a rogue Chairperson, he will just be authenticating alone. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the Leader of the Majority Party. We need to understand what we have done. As a Parliament, we have agreed to make contributions to this Fund mandatory. That is why Section 20 in the parent Act has been deleted. It does not exist. If you refer to voluntary contributions under Section 20, you are referring to something that we were attempting to delete through this Bill. There are no voluntary contributions. Therefore, we now need to move. Something that needs to be done or observed by Members is that if you want to demonstrate ... view

• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I fully support this amendment. I realise that when NHIF decided… The Member for Kesses likes distracting people. Fortunately, he is not the one making that decision. Anyway, let me just put my thoughts to this that before the NHIF introduced biometrics, I am told the Fund was really struggling. In the last four months, the Fund has been making surpluses. That just demonstrates to you that without controls, we have been losing a lot of money to fraudsters. So, if we can centralise the system and computerise it, the better. This is a well thought ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: I can drop mine in favour of the Chair’s. I do not know whether she covered all. Did you have Clause 20(c) and (d)? Do you have declared hospital healthcare provider? view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Obviously, the first one falls once the one by Hon. Sabina Chege has been carried by the House. However, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 20 of the Bill be amended− (c) in paragraph (d) by deleting subparagraph (i) and substituting therefor the following new subparagraphs – (i) by deleting the words “any declared hospital” and substituting therefor the words “a health care provider”. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the term that is used in the Bill is “healthcare provider”. Therefore, to be consistent with what is used in the Bill, we need to use the word “healthcare provider” as opposed ... view
