• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: This report from Alexander Forbes which is produced by a professional firm of actuarialists and not amateurs argued quite strongly that the NHIF was actually in a very good position to roll out universal healthcare coverage but, first and foremost, it had to roll out outpatient care. But before rolling out outpatient care, it had to undertake a pilot programme. It is that pilot scheme for outpatient care that I started when I came in as a Minister. I told the NHIF; please, implement the Alexander Forbes Report. They chose four facilities in Nairobi and another four in Busia. After ... view

• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: The information was for me and I think I accept it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of existing and non-existent clinics or facilities, when this issue came out, I ordered the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board as well as officers in my Ministry to go round the whole country and inspect all these facilities. All the facilities are accredited by the NHIF and registered by the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board. The report is here and I will table it. This report shows that all these facilities were existent. Secondly, when any facility – Government or private is ... view

• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, exactly, as hon. Monda said, when businessmen come to me, I send them to where they can get business. They can get business from the Principal Procurement Officer or the PS. They can also visit the NHIF or KEMSA, because that is where business is. That is exactly what I told hon. Monda. I said to him: “Go and see the Principal Procurement Officer and the PS”, and he did. So, he cannot deny that fact. That is also exactly what I told the other businessman. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Let me conclude, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I make this point because in the report, my so-called association is mentioned in many pages, from paragraph 233 to 236. I am even supposed to have had a business forum at the Crown Plaza Hotel. That business forum is non-existent. We have checked with Crown Plaza Hotel and we have checked with our Ministry, it is non- existent. Finally, as hon. Dalmas said, the recommendations of this report do not follow from the analysis of the report. So, I beg to oppose. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I do not want to persuade hon. Ogindo to withdraw this amendment as a matter of philanthropy or some kind of gentleman’s agreement that was arrived at in the Joint Committee meetings, but I want to persuade him on the basis of the meaning of “designation”. The paragraph says “designation of receivers of national government revenue”. This means the person who is, really, responsible for receiving revenue is the Cabinet Secretary, but he designates. Now, when you designate your powers, you are still responsible for them. So, if those people who will be receiving the revenue ... view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the clause reads, “Where the Cabinet Secretary finds a State organ which is a county government entity to be in serious or persistent material breach of its obligations or financial commitments, the Cabinet Secretary shall with prior approval of the Cabinet immediately stop the transfer of funds.” Where is the crisis? view
