Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Health (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.64 of 2019). I want to thank Hon. Mishra for bringing this matter up. This is a crucial and important Amendment Bill. This is because the health of our society is paramount and a prerogative of our legislative service to our community. This is an important Bill because the reason why our patients are referred out of this country is in order to get the support they have failed to get from this country. This country has failed communities when it comes to ...

Article 43(1)(a) of the Constitution stipulates that every Kenyan should get the highest standard of health. Why is that not provided in this country. I wonder what the Ministry can give on this. It is very important for the Ministry to take considerable number of steps. My people from Wajir South endure a lot of suffering when it comes to travelling all the way from the rural area to Nairobi and then travel overseas. For them to get their passports and other documents is another critical matter.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I congratulate Hon. Kimunya on his appointment as the Leader of the Majority Party. Hon. Duale, the immediate former Leader of the Majority Party has been the patriarch of the Members of Parliament from northern region and the Muslim community. Last night, I was privileged to have been called by over 27 Imams confirming that Hon. Duale has been an icon in this Parliament and country.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will be swift enough in contributing to this. I want to commend the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Health for putting a Statement that is quite essential for this country. This is a pandemic and great threat. I want to commend the President for taking a swift measure. He did not take long to handle this.

Article 132(4)(d) of the Constitution gives provision of declaring a state emergency when such things arise. It is the prerogative of the President to decide on this, but community social distancing is critically important. That is what has been invoked. This is in line with the decisions of the Cabinet Secretary for Health who has said that the Health Act must be invoked and considered in all health institutions and communities.

We are in a global village and must look out at all things that will affect our society and community. In this case, we do not know where the index case is. An index case is the starting case of where it particularly came from. Who was the particular person, where did they come from and where has it been passed on to? We do not know how many people got it from that particular index case in this country. Therefore, I support the Statement by the Chair. Thank you.

I have read the Report and realised that there is considerable amount of information and findings in it. The findings are vital in the sense that the Report identifies the challenges the Judiciary has. In particular, as my predecessor, Hon. Baya has articulated the situation in Malindi, it is equally the same in the northern region where land registrations are a challenge and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.
