Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am on a point of clarification. I rise to seek to clarification from the Cabinet Secretary. He says “it is a choice”. Is he stating that the Cabinet Secretary for East Africa Community (EAC), Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs), and Regional Development has a special population she is buying rice for, for Kshs4000 and you have a special population you are buying rice for Kshs1800?

Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker. My supplementary Question to the CS is on the sugar that is being imported. The CS has said that they are importing 280,000 metric tons. Has the sugar price for consumers dropped since the importation of duty-free sugar?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Petition by the Kenyatta University students on the use of KUTRRH. Just as my colleague Senators have said, it is extremely disturbing for the board of the hospital to lock out students from the university from using the facility for training. How on earth do you explain that students from Kenyatta University (KU) travelled all the way to Kiambu Level 4 facility that is not well resourced, like KUTRRH to use it for training, while leaving a facility within their institution? This is an act of gross misconduct on those ...

Medical schools undergo regular inspections to make sure that the quality of training being offered to doctors meets the national and international standards for doctors to qualify.

Training of these students is at risk of being discontinued if inspections are carried out and found that their training facilities or whatever they are using for training does not meet the set standards meant for training doctors. Therefore, this is an urgent matter. The Committee where the matter will be referred to will benefit a lot from what the National Assembly conversed.

university does not sit in the board of that hospital. How do we have a facility within another and the owners of the facility are not allowed to participate? As my colleagues have said, there are things that are commonsense, but commonsense is no longer common. We have to be decisive as a House in handling this matter.
