• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I will drop part (c)(ia). I beg to move: THAT, Clause 20 of the Bill be amended: (d) in paragraph (e), by deleting the words “and at least three newspapers with nationwide circulation” in the proposed new subsection (5) and substituting therefor the words “at least two newspapers of national circulation and at the official website of the Fund.” view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: The amendment is necessary so as to have wide publication of the information on who the NHIF engages as healthcare providers so that the public can be aware of where to seek healthcare services. The website is just to recognise that we have really gone digital and many Kenyans get information through the website as opposed to newspapers. That is what I am intending to achieve with this amendment. I thank you. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, actually it is the same amendment. This is to make it very clear on the regulatory powers of the NHIF on contributions and the rates of contributions into the Fund. That it is the work that is going to be done by the board. Section 26 on the responsibilities and powers of the board is not so clear. So, we are just providing specificity as to who determines the contribution and the rates of the amount to be contributed into the Fund. I support and so my amendment would fall. I wonder why he came ahead ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: I beg to move, of course, in an amended form: THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clauses immediately after Clause 3— 3A. Section 3 of the principal Act is amended— Amendment of section 3 of No. 9 (a) in subsection (1), by deleting the word “Hospital” and of 1998 substituting therefore the word “Health”; (b) in subsection (2), by deleting paragraph (a) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph— (a) into the Fund— (i) contributions under section 15; (ii) such monies as may be appropriated by the National Assembly, for indigent and vulnerable persons; (iii) gifts, ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: (iv) funds from the national government, county governments and their respective entities, or employers for the administration of employee benefits; and (v) funds from post retirement funds for provision of medical cover to retired employees, where the contributor has elected to do so. Hon. Chairman, I beg to move that the New Clause 3A be read a Second Time, as proposed in the Order Paper. Of course, in an amended form. If you look at it, there is the “hospital” change to “health” that we have dealt with. But there is a further (b) down there which is clearly specifying ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Exactly. Actually, I read it in full like that. That is the amendment. It is now in an amended form which has now included “indigent” which was not there in my earlier proposed amendment. So, I move it in an amended form. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, again, so that Members do not get confused, we held some small Kamukunji with the Chair and we agreed that her amendment that is appearing on the Order Paper as New Clause 3A, is collapsed into my New Clause 3B. So, my New Clause 3B will take care of what Hon. Sabina Chege had proposed as New Clause 3A. So, the New Clause 3A for Sabina Chege is not there. My New Clause 3B is what I want to move in an amended form, although I do not know how we are going to go about ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: (1C) The Cabinet Secretary responsible for matters relating to health shall publish the names of the persons nominated under paragraphs (d), (e), (f) and (g) in the Gazette. This is basically to spell out the composition of the Board. I am proposing that we have a chairperson appointed by the President. Of course, the qualification is put there. The second one is the PS in the Ministry of Health or a representative appointed by him or her. Part (c) is the Principal Secretary in the ministry for the time being responsible for matters relating to finance or his or her ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: That would be great. So, I think that is it. Of course, I have also specified that these other amendments are clearly specifying that the CS will have to gazette. We have also seen a lot of mischief of COTU, the FKE nominating their members and the CS, in his own unilateral decision, refusing to gazette them. So, this one is carried, obviously, there will be no other option. He or she has to gazette. Of course, we have also stated that the nominating body shall afford equal opportunity to men and women, the youth and persons with disabilities. I ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Nothing really will stop Kenyans from praying to Parliament to reconsider its decisions even if we passed the CBC in this House. To that extent, I think the petitioners could be right by asking this House to look into this more intensely and carefully. They feel that a decision that we made concerning the CBC is not good for this country. If the Committee looks at it and makes recommendations, they will be binding and taken to the Executive for implementation. view
