If you look at the structure that we have, unfortunately we cannot manage county functions at the national level. Every entity of county government, for the 47 county governments have their independent institutional County Public Service Commission to carry out human resource matters in the county. The National Government entity that advises them on matters of human resource is the Public Service Commission at the national level. This ... view

The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, was treated in a public hospital when he had COVID-19. However, in this country, how many of us, including those of us who are in this House, will go to Kenyatta National Hospital to be treated for COVID-19 or any other disease? The sector that has actually been abandoned completely is the health sector. We are busy building big highways, structures and buildings across the country.

• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: worker can be paid across the country. We must also create a structure that will facilitate the education of these health workers. In the national Government level, health workers used to have the opportunity to go for further studies which was paid by the national Government. They would study and come back.
