• 23 Nov 2022 in Senate: support required to transport that maize and avail it in the areas where it is required, the price will go to Kshs5800. view
• 23 Nov 2022 in Senate: Our farmers would be very happy if the NCPB opened the stores at a cost of Kshs5500 per bag. I can assure you that farmers will be ready to deliver their maize. In any case, the farm gate price we are selling our maize now is between Kshs4800 to Kshs5300. There is need to support farmers in this country. Worldwide, farmers are given subsidies to produce because farming in itself cannot be profitable and affordable and the cost of food cannot be affordable without giving subsidies to the farmers. I would also like the Committee to find out what happened ... view
• 23 Nov 2022 in Senate: All the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) stores are empty because a bad policy was put in place, which has messed up the strategic food reserves in this country. This is why the Government cannot effectively and efficiently respond when we have issues within a number of counties. It should be noted that in more than 36 counties in this country, we have NCPB stores. If you visit those stores today, they are empty. We are not saying that the strategic food reserves that should be used in this country should only be for maize. What is happening with ... view
• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Mariam Omar on this matter of NHIF. view
• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: We have a serious issue with NHIF particularly on the reimbursements to public facilities. I say this having been the immediate former Governor for Uasin Gishu County, that there has been a trend that has been set by NHIF where public hospitals are not reimbursed regularly. The delay can take as long as six months. view
• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: The reimbursements from NHIF are the funds that sustain these facilities because those are the funds spent within those facilities. There is a serious problem looking at that trend because you will find that there is no inordinate delay in reimbursing private facilities. view
• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: Therefore, my Committee is seized of this matter and we are going to look into it. I agree with the Senator for Nandi, Sen. Cherarkey, that the CEO and the NHIF management should appear before our Committee so that we put this matter to rest. It looks like the NHIF is not working in all counties at the moment. view
• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: I am also aware that even in the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) there is a very serious issue of the NHIF. Right now, patients are no longer getting services at MTRH because these NHIF reimbursements are not happening. Indeed, the rollout of the universal healthcare program was done in a hurry. You may recall that even the results of the pilot that was done in four counties were not shared publicly and as such, we could not get the lessons learnt from the rollout of the UHC. view
• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: This House must be seized of this matter considering that health is a devolved function. We as Senators should look into the reforms in terms of legislation and the composition of NHIF, so that we the defenders of counties ensure counties have a role and a say in the running of NHIF. view
