• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not intend to take 18 minutes because my colleagues are also keen on this particular subject. Someone should bang something if I exceed five minutes. view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Yesterday, I started by saying that I support this amendment Bill because we have all been crying about the manner in which health workers are treated which is not optimum. Unfortunately, unless we amend the Constitution, because the Constitution already devolved health workers to the counties, it becomes very difficult to find a coordinated way of managing them. That is why in the Health Act, the Health Human Resource Advisory Council was established. It was meant to advise the stakeholders such as the Cabinet Secretary (CS) and county government on issues to do with the welfare of health workers. view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, allow me as we talk to this Bill to --- those health workers who lost their lives in the pandemic. If you look at it keenly you might find that more health workers have died in this pandemic than Kenyan soldiers in Somalia. Yet, for the dead Kenyans soldiers in Somalia and other wars the President will routinely come up with some memorial or monument to hail the fallen soldiers. It is time for us to also come up with memorials, monuments and symbolisms to hail and honor our fallen health workers. view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: I mentioned yesterday that our health workers are the new soldiers in the battle for humanity because conventional warfare has become so automated that nowadays soldiers do not go out with grenades, bayonets and guns. They use drones and other technology. view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that irrespective of how technologically and economically advanced you are; you still need human beings. We have seen countries with the ability to roll out hardware and software. We have seen countries view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: convert entire stadia. New York converted an entire park into a COVID-19 isolation centre. view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Yes, you can have the structures and ventilator, unfortunately, you cannot mass produce health workers. That is why in this post-covid era, we must make sure our policies and legislations are geared towards treating our health workers better. view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: In my view, the ideal way of treating our health workers in this country could be one where there would be a shared service that is domiciled at the national level. Yes, this House has to protect devolution. One would assume that as a Senator, I would stand up and say that we are not moving health workers back to the centre because that would be rolling back devolution. It is only a fool who does not change their mind. view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: If health workers have become the new soldiers in the battle for humanity, do we want to manage them in 47 different styles? Do we want to promote and motivate them in 47different styles? If we want to do that for health workers, why do we not do that for our soldiers? Our soldiers are being managed centrally because we know they are a national asset yet, health workers today are more meaningful and impactful than our soldiers who walk around with guns and grenades. view
