Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I welcome my agemate, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation, Hon. (Eng.) Mugaa. Just like the Senator for Nairobi City, it is also the first time that I am seeing him, yet I was the Chairperson of the Committee of the Senate which oversights him. I wish him well. I hear there is a Cabinet reshuffle coming. I hope you will survive. This is on a light note. My Question to the CS is more specifically on the issues of Nyandarua County. On the 23rd of August, 2023, President ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Finally, I have been waiting because I want to make my comment. If you indulge me, Madam Temporary Speaker, I also want to thank you very much for leading us and the team from the Senate for the prayers that we had at Sen. Cheptumo's home. You have a lot of compassion and you led us well. You also led us when we went for his memorial earlier today at the Africa Inland Church (AIC), Milimani.

fight very hard to take our children to Mangu, Lenana or Alliance High school which are public schools? There is no rule that requires or forces us to take our children there. Why? This is because the services that are provided in those institutions of learning are so premium. Why can we not make services in our public health facilities as premium as those secondary schools, such that it will just be obvious that the easiest way of getting health services would be from public health facilities, because they are very good and have been made very well? Finally, I ...

Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to conceptualise the issue that has been raised by Sen. Cherarkey and Sen. Sifuna. There is no way that the Cabinet Secretary and the Ministry of Health cannot say that they are not aware of the case of baby Arianna, who I would want to confirm is a patient from my own county. She comes from Ol Jorok in Nyandarua County. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate.

Baby Arianna suffered from Pearson disorder, and she is the 10th patient in the world to get that particular disorder. Therefore, there is no way the Ministry would say that they are not aware of such a patient who has such a rare disorder. The hospitals in India have actually been using her case as a success of Pearson's disorder that has been treated. It is a genetic disorder that has been treated. Unfortunately, we lost baby Arianna. By the time she passed on, her bill was Kshs1.6 million. Social Heath Authority (SHA) has now paid is Kshs23,000. Therefore, can ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not know why the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Health would want to take us in circles. The question was specific. Now that you admit that you are aware of the case of Baby Arianna Wairimu from Nyandarua County, who succumbed to Pearsons Syndrome, the question is specific - Is it true that SHA paid Kshs23,620 out of a bill of Kshs1,600,000? That is a straight forward question. First, tell us whether that is a fact that SHA paid Kshs23,000 then we shall get to the second limbo of the question, which is, why would ...
