• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I had very personal experience at KNH and MTRH very recently. I want to give the example of KNH. I had a cousin who had come to stay with me who had leukaemia. The KNH dealt with her very well. Most of us know that treatment for leukaemia is very expensive. I walked that journey with her and I saw the challenges the hospital faces. They sat me down and told me to please address those challenges when I come to Parliament. They are not careless or disinterested. They do not have the support structures that they need, especially for ... view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I had a very good experience with the MTRH. My younger brother underwent a very successful transplant. He had already started treatment abroad. However, we were told that instead of taking him abroad and spend a lot of money, there are public facilities in Kenya that can do exactly that. So, he went to MTRH and they did a very successful kidney transplant. The challenge again is that you can see that very good doctors like Dr. Koech and others are very keen on ensuring there is the support service that they need, but they lack the support facilities. In ... view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: see willingness, but there is limitation. We are the ones in this House who can allocate money to support our referral hospitals so that they can provide services. I was very happy with what MTRH did. As much as possible, this country needs to allocate funds to ensure that each county has a referral hospital so that people do not have to travel all the way from Suba North to Kisumu and MTRH to get assistance. view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to support the Motion. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I will limit myself to the issue relating to vote R2041 which is the Senate oversight. I sit in the Budget and Appropriations Committee and we have had a history that when this matter has come before the House, it has either failed or it has been pended somehow. We have had a lengthy discussion with Members and the concern that Members have had, because we have had discussions outside, is actually what has been said by the Leader of the Majority Party and Hon. Mbadi. If you look at the ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: because of the budgetary process and where we were, we cannot do that right now, but we can do it later. In the current Budget, there is no Vote for oversight for the National Assembly. There was a view that we wait for the next budget cycle so as to include it. Most of us in the Budget and Appropriations Committee felt that we symbolically need to have our foot in so that we are able to negotiate. Even if that “foot” is only Kshs50 million, it is a symbolic amount that we can use to negotiate with during the ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, listen to me. There are other factors which I can explain to you one by one. We have really been negotiating. Maybe this would be the better way to go instead of dropping all of them altogether. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Bill with amendments. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think the Members are not moving with us. They need to understand what the Chair is doing. You need to be informed that, whichever way you are voting, you need to be very informed. What the Chair is doing is moving this amendment. If you do not like the amendment, you will say “Nay”. If you are okay with the amendment, you will say “Aye”. There are people who are walking out saying it is already passed. It is not passed. view
