Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We have a problem when it comes to the issue of cost. If we improve on the NHIF, I know most of the patients that we represent and the patients that we have back at home will access the ICU. It has been unfortunate because if you go back home you will find a number of patients who cannot access healthcare because they are poor. It will be good if the Government accelerates enlightening of people on the importance of taking the NHIF cover so that, at least, we do not have many issues ...

Thank you, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. I support my friend, Hon. Silas Tiren, from Moiben for coming up with a very important Bill. I have known Hon. Tiren for long. He has passion for maize farmers. He has also come up with a very good Bill that will safeguard the health of people who are unable to get white collar jobs like very few of us.

For your information, I know a good number of Kenyans have been transporting materials weighing beyond 50 kilogrammes. We have seen this in Gikomba, Litein and across the country; very young energetic Kenyans transport materials that are very heavy. I know this is causing many problems, as Hon. Tiren has rightly pointed out. About 20 per cent of back pain is caused by this particular work. I know Hon. Tiren in his wisdom came up with maximum weight that young Kenyans are supposed to be carrying to safeguard their health. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, he had quoted one of these ...

On the issue of expectant mothers, it has been unfortunate. I know that most of the expectant mothers because of some reasons, have been doing these manual jobs and this has caused many miscarriages and complications to their foetuses and babies. I want to congratulate my friend, Hon. Tiren, because some clauses in this Bill say that manual transport of agricultural loads shall not be assigned to women during pregnancy or maternity period if in the opinion of a qualified physician – this is supposed to be an obstetrician - such work is likely to impair their health or that ...

I oppose this amendment because it is intended to get rid of very few individuals in the Commission. We should make law for posterity. So, I oppose. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me another opportunity today. I was just continuing. I am not seeing the Mover of this Motion but I want to congratulate him for coming up with a very bright idea. This Motion needs some few amendments. Otherwise, it is very nice. It is true that we have a number or series of fatal emergencies everywhere in our country. As indicated here, we need a number of hospitals to be equipped with ICU equipment. It is true that the Jubilee Government has come up with management equipment services which will equip two hospitals in ...
