Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have nothing much to say. I had already chipped in while we sat with the Ministry of Health and I gave my observation. I will send my amendments for them to be filled in where I have seen some deficiencies. I have many observations and five minutes will not be enough for me.

So, I will file the amendments and make sure everything is put in place. I strongly feel there is a grey area that has not been covered when it comes to medical tourism and telemedicine. However, I am happy to be able to add my voice on this.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the Petition for the Pumwani people. The community in Pumwani ward have been residents since colonial times. The population is 29, 616 and the NLC recommended they be resettled. The land was granted to Nairobi Municipal Council for a period of 99 years for the residents. Where will the residents go?

I speak with passion about Pumwani. I know so much about Pumwani. My kid brother and the rest were born in Pumwani and my mother happened to be a councillor of Pumwani for many years. She managed to relocate a few residents of Pumwani to the New Pumwani Estate. At that time, the area Member of Parliament (MP) was the late hon. Tom Mboya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know the history of Pumwani and the residents should be sorted out and compensated through issuance of houses. In the event that any individual refuses to settle, monetary compensation should be done. ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Bill although I know it is not perfect. I am sure amendments will be done later, but there are other good things in it. The Bill will improve efficiency by increasing the autonomy of the facilities to make decisions and manage their own finances. It will also ensure that all funds generated by the facilities are ploughed back to support facilities operations and services. I imagine times when it gives an opportunity to hospitals where, for example, power has gone off and you have to use a generator and ...

Asante Bw. Spika. Naomba kuchangia Hoja hii kuhusu uvutaji wa e-cigarrette ama shisha. Hili ni janga kubwa kwa vijana wetu. Wamejiingiza kwenye uvutaji wa sigara. Wanapoanza kuvuta e-cigarrette, vape na Shisha, wanajiingiza kwenye mambo mengi zaidi. Hizi sigara zimeongezewa vitu vingine kama bangi za kuwapoteza watoto wetu. Hili ni tatizo kubwa kwa afya kwani zinasababisha matatizo ya moyo, fungus kwenye kifua na pia kifua kikuu. Wanawake waja wazito, wanazaa watoto wenye kilo kidogo. Pia uvutaji unasababisha fungus ya Ngozi. Watoto wetu pia wanakuwa na addiction. Uraibu wa nicotine unasababisha vijana kutumia pombe na muguka. Ni kweli kuwa kama wazazi tumelegeza ...
