• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Which is this “relevant Government body”? We are going to have a case where chiefs and local administrators are going to take bribes from ordinary Kenyans to declare them indigent. This is very dangerous for the country. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: We must have an achievement of the UHC as envisaged under Article 43 of the Constitution for adult Kenyans and Article 53 for children in Kenya. If this Bill was to make meaning, we must make it compulsory even if it is progressive, for every Kenyan to be enlisted in NHIF. This is because when one falls sick, it matters not whether one is a billionaire or indigent. If one goes to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in hospital, the conduct, facilities and costs incurred are the same regardless of whether one is indigent or a billionaire. This is a ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: What we are saying here is not any different from what we already have. Employers are already obligated to pay NHIF for their employees. Even we, as leaders of 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
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: political parties, are obligated to pay for our party employees, it is nothing new. What are we doing to get mama mboga, mkokoteni pusher, street urchins and people who move any instrument of material value to our economy including bicycles and boda boda enlisted? view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Inform me. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Sen. Murkomen has no ability whatsoever to put any words in my mouth because my mouth is full of good words. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. of Makueni is agreeing with me and everybody else will, that we must widen and broaden the net of beneficiaries of the NHIF. Period. Anything else is a detail that is of little value to the President’s ideal of UHC. One, we want NHIF to cover all Kenyans. Two, make it obligatory for the National Government and county governments to budget to cover everybody within their concurrent jurisdiction. Three, make it difficult for people to steal money from the NHIF. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, as a medical practitioner, will tell you that many people have bubbled to billionaires by stealing money from the NHIF through fraudulent and fake claims. They are people who pretend they have a hospital with a 100 beds--- I remember one time in my county of Bungoma, when inspectors of Government came to inspect a hospital that was making millions of shillings a week from the NHIF. The proprietor of the hospital went to the bus stop and picked manambas admitted them in hospital beds. That was so that inspectors would think they were sick but they ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: I do not see any clause in this Bill that is punishing thieves of NHIF money. Instead, we have a clause that is punitive to the extent that if a party such AS FORD-(K) fails to remit small money – We remit about Kshs13, 000 a month- to NHIF, we will be fined Kshs1million. The thieves who walk away with NHIF money every day through fraudulent claims in hospitals are not being punished. We need to look at this. Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, you are one of the doyens of medicine in this country and you know these things we are ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Kijabe, all these founded by churches. We also have St. Mary’s Hospital in Lang’ata and Nakuru which are run by missionaries. They provide even better services than some Government run hospitals. Why are they not represented on the NHIF Board? They must be represented. Instead the board is filled with public servants who in most cases do not attend the Committee sittings. They send their juniors to such meetings who go there to fill forms and walk away with allowances as things go haywire. We need to have the real providers of health services in this country to sit on ... view
