• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: diminishing returns. The CRA cannot have figures before them stating that the economy has grown by 9 per cent, then they append their signature stating that counties should get what they got last year without taking inflation into account. They have not taken inflation and economic growth into account yet they are telling us that we have registered a growth of 9 per cent. The Senate should stop being a rubber stamp. We should rationalize issues, sit, talk, engage and convince the Government. Governments all over the world always hold on to money. They take your money but they will ... view
• 21 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you. I beg to support. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: On a point of Order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Did you notice the distinguished Senator for Nandi County walking across the Floor in front of the Mace as if he in a village in Nandi? view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: We need to respect the Standing Orders. This is a House where decorum is critical. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I will concentrate on a few things. The Committee members who are fidgeting to defend their position should make sure they try and bring this at the Committee Stage. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: In his State of the Nation Address, the President said that this Bill is very important because it is going to help achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) for Kenyans. Unfortunately, I do not find it in the Bill. Those who have brought it to this House must ensure that what the President said in his Address is achieved here. My “big brother”, Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, should listen to this so that their Committee at the Committee Stage can come and tell us what we are looking for. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: The most critical, if that is the fundamental of this Bill, will be found in Clause 19 which is talking about contributions. You cannot talk about the UHC and then pigeon- hole Kenyans as to who will benefit from the NHIF. The clause says that they are amending the principal Act to create a situation where the national Government shall be liable to contribute for public officers, state officers, employees working in the national Government and the national Government entities. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: They are then obligating county governments to contribute for public officers, state officers, employees working at the county governments and county agencies. Any other employer shall be liable as a contributor of the fund in respect of its employees. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: 1 (b) of the same clause says- The National Government- “shall be liable as a contributor to the fund on behalf of the indigent and vulnerable persons identified as such by the relevant Government body.” view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in good English, indigent means vulnerable. It is tautologous because an indigent is a vulnerable person. It means the same thing. view
