I beseech all the Members in this House that we now have the opportunity to ensure that our counties get adequate money. The Division of Revenue Act (DORA) is soon coming. We know what the National Assembly is doing when it comes to the issue of DORA. We are the ones who ... view
• 22 Mar 2023 in Senate: Many of these universal healthcare workers were being paid a stipend of about Kshs15,000. It is sad. The biggest problem with this issue is that they were already given an Integrated Payroll and Personnel Database (IPPD) number. Therefore, wherever they go, it appears as if they are employed by the Ministry. Therefore, they cannot be employed by anybody else. This is a matter which is live in our Committee on Health. view
• 22 Mar 2023 in Senate: When I received the Petition from these workers, I submitted it to our committee and we have met them. We are now looking to meet the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). We have already met with the officials from the Ministry of Health. view

• 22 Mar 2023 in Senate: When we go to Mombasa County to meet with the Commission of Revenue Allocation (CRA), some of these things are things we need to be able to engage in. We need to send more money to counties. There is no reason why the MoH should be having billions; money equivalent to five counties allocation. That money ought to go to counties and then we clear this issue of IPPD numbers. We remove it from the system and allow these individuals be employed. view
• 22 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can see the light is already yellow, but let me finalize. As a Member of the Committee on Health, I became very proactive on this matter.

• 22 Mar 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to stop at Standing Order No.223(2), the Order that you have just mentioned. The Report of the Select Committee was tabled in this House yesterday. However, on Page 3 of that Report, it was adopted by only four Members. The total number of Members in a Select Committee is nine. Therefore, this Report cannot be discussed in this House. It is not properly before the House and it is against our Standing Orders. You had reiterated clearly that anything view

• 22 Mar 2023 in Senate: which is presented in this House cannot be rushed. There is a big problem that we are facing where we rush things. Traditionally, any amendments to our Standing Orders would not even apply in this House. I would beg you to pay attention to what I am saying because I have the Report here. I stood on a very important Standing Order and I can see the Majority Leader --- view
