• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise up on two matters. One, I saw Hon. Sankok speak without his mask on. I have also made this observation with several Members of the National Assembly. I do not know if we are now officially allowed not to wear masks. There is no social distancing. I do not know whether we are now allowed not to follow the COVID-19 protocols. Having said that, I think this Petition is very valid. At Egerton University, there is a cohort of medical students who have been in that university for close to eight years ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this single most piece of important legislation for the simple reason that it has been fronted by a first time Member of Parliament from Homa Bay County, Hon. Owino. Thank you, very much. I have gone through the Bill, and it is a very good piece of legislation. Allow me to talk about two items because we are short of time. One is about recognition. All people want is for them to be recognised after all they have been working for the longest time without it. When they The electronic ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: are recognised, we should motivate them to even work better. As Kenyans, we are used to people working for us for free. It is high time we recognised them. They should be given more training and be licensed, and when their work is anchored in law, they are going to be paid and be trained more. Thank you Hon. Owino for bringing this item to the Floor of the House. Rangwe Constituency which I represent supports this Bill, and because of time… If I get more time, will speak to it more. view

• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. As has been well articulated by the Leader of the Majority Party, this Bill seeks to amend several health-related statutes to improve efficiency and service delivery and the realisation of Universal Health Coverage (UHC). As has already been indicated, the main goal of UHC is to provide healthcare for all. His Excellency the President unveiled a bit of the programme the other day. The simple reason that makes me support this Bill is that in the recent past, one of the students at the public school ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: the basic human rights is the right to health. When we amend laws so that our communities can get better healthcare, this is something that we need to support as legislators. This Bill seeks to amend various Acts, including No. 14 of 2014, No. 18 of 2007, No. 15 of 2016 and No. 20 of 2017.We also have one amendment that touches the Clinical officers (Training, Registration and Licensing) Act No. 20 of 2017. We are concerned with how the Boards are constituted under the said conditional and administrative elements of these medical institutions. If this is anchored in law, ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: As it has already been indicated, the Bill also proposes an insertion of Section 5 (a) in the Pharmacy and Poisons Act. It provides that the Board shall recruit persons who are qualified competitively. If we emphasise on persons who are qualified, it removes elements of nepotism and discrimination in recruitment of persons in various governance positions of our various Boards that is against our Constitution That is a good part of this particular Bill. view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: The Bill seeks to amend the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Act in respect of its composition and recruitment. Persons who will be appointed to the Council will be elected through Conventional Board Resourcing procedures. This puts some strength on the various Boards. When they use the right procedure to recruit persons to work here, it is a good thing that this Bill is bringing in. view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: The Bill also analyses how governance will be enhanced, especially on health-related matters and the related institutions. It is important that the Mwongozo Code lays a benchmark that requires State corporations to comply with its governance guidelines. We find that there are particular guidelines that are given out but they are not followed often. This particular Bill gives the Boards strength, so that where necessary or needed, then the weight of the Board is put in emphasising that their guidelines that have been laid down are followed. view
