• 24 May 2017 in National Assembly: It is also important for our people to know that counties are supposed to charge some service user fee for the use of the facilities which were minimal. At some point, they charged Kshs20 or sometimes Kshs100 to visit Government hospitals.

But how many hospitals offer free medical care? Many of them still charge. In almost all of them, patients pay for medicine or they are told to go to pharmacies. Therefore, I urge counties to get more organised and provide services to the people, which are heavily compensated for by the national Government. view

• 24 May 2017 in National Assembly: I also want to add something on what the World Bank has given through conditional grants. These conditional grants are important. I am happy the World Bank has given grants to support performance of various county governments through the Kenya Devolution Support Programme (KDSP).

This will be given to those counties which have been assessed independently and have been seen to be competitive. This is very important because the counties that will be supported will encourage the counties ... view

• 24 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to contribute to this very important Bill. People normally say that a country cannot move forward without women. Currently, as we can see in the society, the prime movers of development are women. When it comes to political offices, the society is very unfair and expects women to take the back seat. Therefore, this affirmative action is very important. There are some pertinent issues which are making women shy away from politics and most of them are perpetuated by the society to scare them away.
