• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I want to point out a few things that have been highlighted today in the Daily Nation . This country has around 142 Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds against a population of 50 million. If you look at the statistics, 50 per cent of the people who go into ICU die. The cost of ICU in this country is overboard. When these people die, they pay the cost of staying in the ICU. We know that an ICU bed costs over Kshs30,000 for an hour today.

• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: My friend, Hon. Mohamed, will come up with a Bill. I want to propose what should be done when a person dies at a Government hospital, both at the national referral hospital and county referral hospitals. Government pays money for maternity both at the national referral hospitals and even at the county hospitals. They pay county governments for maternity.

It is an easy mechanism. We have the Provincial Administration on the ground who can authenticate and say that this person who died is a poor man. Therefore, the Government should commit to pay. That letter can be used at the hospital to discharge the body. It can then claim money just the way county governments do it from the national Government for free maternity deliveries. view

• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In the Morning Sitting, I moved an amendment which was lost. For the record, I would like to table the documents I was challenged to table in the morning to prove that this is the document for the said contract, which shows that one Mr. Mutea Iringo signed the document and, therefore, was in charge of the procurement process. One Monica Juma, who is mentioned in the Report, did not participate in the procurement process of the life insurance cover. view
