The facilities that they requested money for are very important. As a House, let us assure the Committee that in the Supplementary Budget that is coming, we will make sure that we give them the money that they require. We spend too much money which is almost Kshs3 trillion. If we cannot allocate it to health facilities, as a country, we will go in the right direction. We need to deal with sub-county hospitals because all these patients come mostly from those Levels 1, 2, and 3 hospitals. The national Government and county governments have ignored small hospitals. County governments ...

Osoro has proposed. There have been unnecessary deaths. You can imagine you have paid a driver to take you home in a taxi, or you boarded a bus or a matatu and then you end up dying. It is ...

THAT, aware that Kenya’s trade deficit has been on the increase in the past few years with the financial year 2016/2017 deficit being estimated at Kshs1.1 trillion; noting that, the deficit is mainly attributable to the exports worth Kshs594 billion against imports amounting to Kshs1.7 trillion, driven mainly by the more than doubling of food and machinery imports amid slow-moving exports; concerned that, the widening deficit has continued to pile pressure on the shilling against other global currencies such as the dollar; alarmed that, the high demand for the dollar to fund imports has been forcing the Central Bank of ...

One of the major issues the Government needs to tackle is the agricultural subsidy. If the country has food, I think the problems with its people will be minimised instead of importing food like maize and other food stuffs from other countries. This will reduce the cost of agricultural activities particularly of food in the country. This will enable us not to import maize from Mexico or our neighbouring countries like Uganda.
