• 28 Sep 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Chairperson. I agree that I will drop my amendment because the import was to delete 13(f). I agree that it infringes on the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act and the Constitution as well. It reads: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate. view
• 28 Sep 2023 in Senate: “Coordinate, with the National Treasury and other development partners, for the mobilization and allocation of adequate resources to support the realization of accessible, acceptable and equitable primary health care services.” That is not the role of either government, but Sen. Oketch Gicheru proposes to amend it thus: “The national Government shall appropriate and transfer to the County Revenue Fund (CRF) of respective county governments such monies as shall be required for effective performance of the function under this Act.” That effectively covers it. I, therefore, support it. view
• 28 Sep 2023 in Senate: I beg to move- view
• 28 Sep 2023 in Senate: THAT the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 14. view
• 28 Sep 2023 in Senate: The importance of this amendment is to do away with the National Advisory Council that has been proposed in Clause 14. From the contribution of many Members, I thought that this was going to violate the Constitution and be a quiet takeover of the functions of counties. This is because primary healthcare is devolved. As a substitute to this, Clause 16 talks about a similar council at the county level. We would rather maintain the advisory council at the county level but do away with the national one. view
• 28 Sep 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, I beg to move- THAT, Clause 16 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (3) by- (a) by deleting the words “promote oversight” appearing before the words “monitor and evaluate” in paragraph (a); and, (b) by deleting paragraph (m). One of the functions of the county primary health care advisory committee will be to promote oversight. Hon. Members, the use of the word “oversight” here is misplaced because we know that the role of oversight is by the county assembly in this case. I, therefore, proposed to remove that part ‘promote oversight’ and retain the other parts ... view

• 28 Sep 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, I beg to move: THAT Clause 20 of the Bill be amended- (a) in subclause (1) by deleting the words “special interest” appearing immediately after the words “a representative of” in paragraph (c) and substituting therefor the word “vulnerable”; and (b) in subclause (3) by inserting the words “renewable once” at the end of the subclause. Madam Temporary Chairperson, the essence of this amendment is to amend Clause 20(3) --- view
• 28 Sep 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, the essence of this amendment is to amend Clause20(3) that says that “the Committee members in subclause (1) shall be appointed in writing by the County Executive Committee Member (CECM) and shall serve for a period of three years.” Madam Temporary Chairperson, this is a very important Committee that should not be left in the hands of one person; the CECM for Health. The import of my amendment is to amend so that the county assembly has a role in approving the list that has been proposed by the county executive member. That is the first part. ... view
• 28 Sep 2023 in Senate: I fully agree with Sen. Mungatana and maybe I can consider dropping that. The basis is that in his amendment, he has proposed that the county assemblies will come up with the county legislation. So, that may be covered there. view
