• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: Further, other legislative gaps have led to inefficiencies within KEMSA that have resulted in reports that the KEMSA is storing expired medical supplies. It is for this reason that I have proposed to amend the KEMSA Act to align it to the provisions of the Constitution and the Health Act and to make it be recognized as one of the devolved services of the counties. Clause 2 seeks to amend the Long Title of the Act so as to provide that the Authority serves both the national and county governments. Clause 4 of these Amendments seeks to amend Section 4 ... view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: proposal made and make further proposals to enrich this legislation in order to achieve our mandate. As we are aware, health is a devolved function and, therefore, all institutions that are in charge of it should provide services as stipulated in the Constitution. The KEMSA therefore, as constituted is not legal. This Bill, therefore, seeks to align it to the Constitution. This Bill is amending the Health Act to make sure that the medical supplies we receive in our counties are of high standards, good quality and are stored well, bearing in mind that the mandate of this Authority is ... view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I request Sen. Wetangula to second. view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to second. view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for allowing me to add my voice to this Petition from Nyamira County. This Petition may be from Nyamira County, but the situation is reflected in many of our counties especially on the issue of employment. The county public service boards seem not to be independent and do not follow procedures in employment. view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: I wish that the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare of this House would revisit the issue of employment especially now that we have a budget that may not accommodate the taskforce that the counties are employing. view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: We need to consider the grades and competence as a requirement for employment. In many of our counties, it is the incompetent or unqualified people who hold positions. Some of the County Executive Committee (CEC) members take advantage of the directors working under their offices. Some governors have employed more than 15 directors in their offices. view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the issue of employment in counties needs to be streamlined. We need to look at how we can make it standard so that we have people who are qualified and applied competitively to be employed. 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
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Tenders are just being dished out in the counties without competitive procurement processes. Contracts are dished out without clear procedures. The county governments need oversight on procurement processes. view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we seem to have devolved corruption, tribalism and clannism. Road construction contracts are being dished out to relatives and people who supported the governors in their campaigns without even considering their capacity. That is why you will find that new roads are out of service just after two weeks of use. Therefore, this Petition will go a long way to help all our counties. The Committee that will handle it should look at it broadly in all counties not only the County of Nyamira. We need to support that Committee so that they can look at issues ... view
