• 27 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not wish to disrupt Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, who is a medical expert.

• 27 Feb 2025 in Senate: failed county? Considering that the function of health is largely devolved. Maybe some clarification. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, firstly, let me thank Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, the Senator for Kakamega, for educating the nation on the effects of Kala-azar if it goes unchecked. I agree with my colleague, Sen. Olekina, that county governments must apply the money where it matters most.

I am also happy to note that part of the prevention of this disease is through ... view

I want to urge the KEMSA Board and management to ensure that they are cost- effective and make sure that every little saving that is available in KEMSA goes to drugs, equipment and pharmaceuticals that are key in delivering Universal Health Care (UHC). Therefore, I support the Statements by Sen. Ledama and Sen.

However, I want to assure Sen. Chute that we are going to ... view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have a Supplementary question to the CS. Whereas counties owe KEMSA, the national Government, through the Ministry of Health, also owes KEMSA. If you have been given Kshs25 billion in the Budget, why are you not paying your bills to KEMSA and you are the Ministry responsible to KEMSA? You cannot be shooting yourself on the foot, saying that counties are not paying while the Ministry is also not paying. What are you doing as a Ministry to also pay your obligation? Finally, Hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir--- view
