• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I urge counties to come up with case management strategies, where community health workers can be assigned to expectant mothers. That care before a mother gives birth; she should walk that journey with a community health worker. That way, they will be able to understand the status and health challenges, so that on the day of delivery, those challenges can be dealt with appropriately. 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
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: As I finalise, it has come a time when we now need to do fresh costing of devolved functions. How much does it cost to deliver healthcare in this country? That question has not been addressed properly; it has been addressed politically. We have said that 15 per cent is enough. When we cost the functions that have been devolved, we might need to allocate a little bit more money to support healthcare delivery. A healthy nation is a wealthy nation. Health is devolved. Let us support our counties to support healthcare. Let us give them money, but let them ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, of late I have been quite cynical, but your statement has reassured me. Initially, when I talked about some of these matters even in the public domain over the weekend, I came under a barrage of insults. I was told that the Senate does not know what its duty is, despite the fact that Section 50 the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act says that the thresholds shall be set by Parliament, being the National assembly and the Senate. Out of that cynicism, I had even prepared a statement that was to be read in the House ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: The editorials in the major dailies from early this week were about Parliament’s irresponsibility in adjusting the debt ceiling. Let the message go out that Parliament has not yet concluded the process. The process is only concluded when the Senate agrees with the National Assembly or when the Senate renders an opinion on the matter. When the two Committees that you have rightly appointed to look into this matter report back to this House, I beg that we shall get an opportunity to debate. In the other House, the matter was put to vote without very serious debate. I beg ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: If this matter will not infuriate the young people of this country, then it is not enough for them to congratulate Kipchoge. Every other day when we are sitting here, the National Executive is piling debt. For them to get away with that, what they do is that they set us up so that the two Houses are fighting. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: There are Members who had assured me that this matter would not come to the Senate. I want to congratulate the leadership of the House for making sure that this matter has come to the Senate so that it can be given the depth and clarity that this House is capable of. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: On a point of information, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to inform Sen. Poghisio that his observations are valid. The report of the Auditor-General for West Pokot was barely five pages long. If you look at the chapter after West Pokot, there is a report on Tharaka-Nithi County which is almost 80 pages. So, in those first years, there were serious inconsistencies in the manner in which the Auditor-General was reporting. So, I inform the good Senator that it is not a mistake that the report for West Pokot County is that brief. It is the Auditor-General who tabled a brief report ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank all the Senators who have contributed to this Motion. I also thank Members of the Committee who have burnt the midnight oil to ensure that these reports come to this House, not forgetting members of staff. Currently, the clerks attached to this Committee are held up in Naivasha trying to make sure that the reports for FY 2014/2015 and the subsequent years up to FY 2017/2018 are prepared and brought to this House. view
