period which should include the integration of mental health in perinatal care as recommended by the National Mental Health Taskforce in its “Mental Health and Wellbeing towards Happiness and National Prosperity” report.

I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I thank my party leader, Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga, for giving me this opportunity to serve in the Senate. I congratulate my colleagues for having been elected or nominated to this House. I will go direct to the point. I have three or four points. First, I looked at the women and the two-thirds gender rule. In as much as the President acknowledged that there was growing confidence in the contribution of women in leadership and governance, he did not give tangible solutions on the ...

In terms of health, the President spoke of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC), the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) and how it will be achieved. However, he ignored the fact that a more pressing issue is upgrading of hospitals and how well-stocked hospitals will run. There is also the issue of remunerating staff. One more thing in terms of tax, the President should have focused on how to increase the tax base so as to raise more revenue. I looked at it and he did not talk on how he would stem pilferage and run-away corruption, since it is well ...

Many of my colleagues have contributed on water issues. Water is a devolved function that requires optimization in this country. He talked about how it can be enacted through public private partnership (PPP). What happens to the current water and sanitization bodies in the counties? I think this move opens a window of abuse and exploitation. The Senate has a role in this and we have to be very clear on the nature of contracts counties will be getting themselves into. All other contributions I wanted to do have been made. I do not think that I need to add ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very much privileged for you to mention that we went to a very good school together. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to buttress what Ms. Karua has stated. I think when one looks at the proposed amendment by the hon. Member, its purpose is actually to negate the Presidential recommendation on this particular aspect. But clothe that in the name of an amendment, so that Section 46 (5)(b) does not apply. That is because if that applies, one must mobilise two-thirds of October 4, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4365 the entire National Assembly. Therefore, I ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry that I was not fast enough in terms of coming to my feet. Of course, as a Parliament, we have passed the Statute Law (Miscellaneous mendments) Bill. But I just want to state, as a matter of record, that the National Assembly and Presidential Elections Act, the amendment to Section 17, that the direction to the Chief Justice, who does not swear-in Ministers, is obviously a problem that, perhaps, will come before a Constitutional Court. Secondly, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you cannot have somebody constructively resigning from a party, because every ...
