• 10 Nov 2020 in Senate: (4) Explain the action that will be taken against teams found culpable of violating the set health protocols. I thank you. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I want to contribute to this Report and tell the two Senators that apart from being hon. Members of this House, they are mothers. All our children are on social media and are privy to what we do inside and outside this House. As Members of Parliament, we are out there in the public and children look up to us. They are on social media. When sometimes I walk on the streets of Nairobi, the youth say: “ Mama Miradi, you are our mentor.” All these kids look up to us. I think it was ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was in the Committee. It is not that IKM was engaged professionally, but over a cup of coffee for six months, advising the Ministry of Health. After that, they got into formal engagement and they invoiced for the coffee dates they had with the Ministry. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope you are not counting my time. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you. This project started on a wrong footing from the word go. Let us not burry our heads in the sand and start blaming contractors for the failure of our own Government and Ministry of Health. This project was supposed to be a Public Private Partnerships (PPP) according to the concept paper we got from the Ministry of Health. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: How they changed from a PPP to MES, it is under unclear circumstances. From their own concept paper as the Ministry, they gave us statistics that if we went through PPP, all counties would pay around Kshs1.5 billion. That translates to Kshs31 million per county per year. However, the Cabinet Secretary (CS), Hon. James Macharia and the Ministry decided to change it from PPP legal framework to public procurement under unclear circumstances. This was his baby. The Auditor General’s Report for Financial Year 2015/2016 pointed it out that they did not even change the policy by the time they were ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will fault the Ministry again on how they implemented the Healthcare Technology Innovation Centre (HTIC) project. Had it been successfully implemented it would have been a pillar that could have played a critical role in leveraging Information, Communication and Technology (ICT). The Government should optimize and promote the full operationalization of this project. However, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) then, Ms. Sicily Kariuki on an acting capacity, maliciously, non-procedurally and illegally canceled the HTIC project. It was apparent when she appeared that she had a personal vendetta with this company. By cancelling this project, everything went haywire ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is worrying and Kenyans should be worried because currently we have no regulatory system in place for this medical equipment. The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) has not approved the equipment. We are using medical equipment, which the CS then wrote a letter to exempt it going through KEBS. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Let us give credit where it is due. We have also some positive impact of this project. The implementation of Lot 5 of this contract has a very positive impact on service delivery. I am sure every Senator here would attest that the renal and dialysis machines in their counties are working. view
