• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: The present problems notwithstanding, and we shall discuss that when we come to the health committee report, NHIF stands out as one of the leading insurance agencies in Kenya for majority of the people. Even if you ask civil servants today, customer satisfaction is very high. Since the customer satisfaction is very high, the economic survey recorded more than four times increase in enrolment among NHIF contributors. The Minister for Finance can confirm this. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: This country has no option, if we are going to implement Article 43 of the Constitution, but to pursue a comprehensive social health cover. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: My colleague professor is exercising a little bit of impatience. That is okay. He comes from the sugar- belt, he has a lot of energy for a lot of things some of which he knows. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that we have no other option in this nation, but to embrace comprehensive social health cover given the history we have had. When the Constitution says that all Kenyans have a right to affordable and quality healthcare, it does not tell us how that will be financed. The assumption, of course, is that in the Kenyan history, ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: This is segmented to the extent that quality schools are subscribed to by the elite in the private sector, but there is the law from the Ministry of Education and the Government in the financing of education. That is how it works out. Nonetheless, for basic education, it is upon the Government to provide universal access to education for all Kenyans which we have been doing since 2003. This means, therefore, that it is imperative that this year we must initiate universal healthcare access to all Kenyans. We have no other alternative. We have been bedeviled by a lot of ... view

• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am coming to that. I was just clarifying what my friend, hon. Chanzu, said although he is not in the House. However, it must go on record and in the HANSARD that I have clarified hon. Chanzu’s outdated ideas regarding what we are doing in the health sector. That is very important. Having said that, I am very concerned with the manner in which we are approaching financial matters in the House and as a nation. This is with regard to the Appropriation Bill. I want to give a very brief presentation on what ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. While I respect the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health, is he in order--- view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Chairman in order just like my friend Mr. Otieno said, to imply and mislead the House that the Minister for Medical Services knew that money was being paid to non-existent facilities when the Minister of State for Public Service has said very clearly that payment was based on capitation to the service providers and not to facilities? That is the principle of capitation and the Minister for Medical Services does not micromanage the NHIF in its daily operations. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for allowing me time to speak. Hon. Members, I am not going to read all these; do not be worried. I just put it here for the sake of having my ammunition next to me. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say the following. One, my friend, hon. Dalmas Otieno, is right. This scheme of the Civil Service was not part of the main agenda of NHIF. The NHIF had started as early as 2003 when I was the Minister for Planning and National Development, to work with us in the ... view
