• 2 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to support this Petition. We are sorry for what happened. Actually, that was a sad day in Kenya because we lost 32 people. The Government of Kenya committed through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to assist the affected families. It is unfortunate that nobody has considered them up to date, having in mind that they did not get a body to bury, hence their trauma is at a higher level. We have been told that no counselling services have been offered yet these families need counselling services. Families lost breadwinners and ... view

• 2 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this Bill. It has come at the right time, when we have devolved units. If we pass this Bill, it will align KEMSA with the requirements of the counties. It is not good that health, a devolved function, is being controlled by the national Government. That is why KEMSA is still supplying medical equipment and drugs to the counties without regard of the necessary requirements. This has caused suffering to the health units in the counties, because KEMSA either delays to supply the drugs, or they supply ... view
• 2 Jul 2019 in Senate: Our people will be safe if we pass this Bill. Our counties are now controlling Level 1 to Level 5 facilities. In my County, the Longisa County Referral Hospital is supposed to be the largest hospital, but it lacks certain drugs and facilities. Consequently, our people end up going all the way to the KNH and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 2 Jul 2019 in Senate: (MTRH). We have patients from humble backgrounds who cannot afford the medication in those facilities or even the transportation cost. Devolution was supposed to take the services to the door steps of the people within the counties, and it should do that. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in Senate: When this Bill is assented to, the people in our counties will be saved the nightmare of seeking for medical treatment elsewhere. When the CS controls KEMSA, he at times proposes regulations that do not augur well with the counties. This Bill will now require the CS to consult the CoG so as to ensure that the county devolution units are catered for, as captured in Clause 7 of this Bill. This Bill is important, especially at this moment when our Government is interested in the UHC. For the UHC to succeed, the supply of medical equipment and the management ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order 47(1) I stand to give a Statement on an issue of general topical concern on the rise of negligence and medical malpractices in private health facilities. As the House may already be aware, lately, there have been several cases of medical negligence and malpractices in private health facilities in the country that have led to the loss of lives of patients. Last week, a woman died while delivering a baby at Ruai Family Hospital. According to the late woman’s husband, the hospital staff refused to allow him to transfer her to a different ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: investigations, it was ascertained that the death of the infant could have been prevented and that the hospital lacked proper procedures, adequate staffing among a myriad of other medical processing lapses. Mr. Speaker, Sir, all these cases of medical negligence and malpractices have caused untold pain and psychological torture to families affected. I would, therefore, urge the Standing Committee of Health to investigate the matter of rampant medical negligence in the country with a view to arresting the trend and succinctly establish- 1. Measures that have been taken to regulate the operations of private hospitals. 2. Measures that have been ... view
