• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I congratulate the President for the good Speech that touched on pertinent issues that affect the country. The President talked about the COVID-19 pandemic which has taken a toll on the economy and the health sector of our country. Our people are dying. The pandemic has put a lot of pressure on our health sector. This is an issue we need to keep looking into until we win the war against the pandemic.

• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: We also have the issue of our health officers who are dying for lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs). This is an issue we need to look into. In August, the President gave an order on the issue of KEMSA funds. He gave investigative agencies 21 days to investigate and report back on the COVID-19 funds.

• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: The issue of upgrading Mathari Hospital to a teaching and referral hospital is a good idea.

It is commendable that it came from the President. This is something Parliament, through the Departmental Committee on Health, needs to look into and provide the finances required. view

• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: On education, the President directed the Ministry to give the new dates of opening of schools. The Cabinet Secretary of Education has given the new dates as being January 4th 2021. However, the question that arises is whether we are prepared to open the schools as per the health guidelines provided by the Ministry of Health.

I support the Member who spoke before me on the release of NG-CDF ... view
