• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker I wish to contribute to the Report on Health moved by the Chairperson, hon. (Ms.) Nyamai. I congratulate her Committee for having brought it to the Floor of this House; it is about a conversation on matters of health and devolution of health services in our country. I think since we started The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: devolution, we have heard of many functions that were devolved. Education was luckily in the constitutional review process, very much in the fore, and so it was not devolved as much as was required then. This is because primary schools would be handled by county assemblies and county governments. On matters of health, I think it is very regrettable that health professionals in our country did not engage in as much a conversation on devolution of heath as they did in relation to education sector. As we speak now, the only report that we have had in terms of looking ... view

• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker. Health is, indeed, a critical matter. On the question of regional referral hospitals, I support what the Committee says in terms of the national Government being asked to take care of regional referral hospitals. I think as we go on, we will be asking the Committee on Health to bring before this House a Health Bill that will deal with questions on health facilities. They touch on that in their Report. I think in this particular time, the committee has done well to give us a policy direction; thereafter it should bring to this House proposed ... view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: hospitals. I think a mechanism needs to be arrived at that will require sharing of resources; that sharing will have funds to finance it. On the question of Level 5 hospitals again, and borrowing from what the Judiciary has done--- We are in country where the Judiciary has promised to establish a high court in every county. I think the committee should also be bold enough to propose that every county be given a Level 5 hospital. We can start by refurbishing the 11 existing Level 5 hospitals, and then move on to a second set of counties in which ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health regarding the nonpayment of medical expenses by the National Hospital Insurance Fund, in regard to orthopedic services. The Chairperson should find out in terms of timelines when the National Hospital Insurance Fund can commence payment of orthopedic appliances. Thank you. view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. That is in order. view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker. I serve in the Budget and Appropriations Committee, and so feel very happy that we have come to this point in terms of the Budget process. A lot of hours have gone into considering it. As I support the Appropriation Bill, let me note, as other Members have done, that the small deficit in financing of 17 billion is not to worry anybody. This is the biggest Budget in our history. So, Kshs17 billion that could not be factored in at the last moment should not be a worry at this point in time. Last year, ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: one Cabinet Secretary that is serving the Kenyan Government; you cannot fault him for what he is doing; we appreciate the work that he continues to do in his Departments. On the Budget Policy Statement, the Committee has lessons on this; next year, we will determine the ceilings at the stage of the Budget Policy Statement, so that by the time we come to the Appropriation Bill, we will not have the small financing gap that we are now struggling with. On Division of Revenue Bill, I think there is a process going on; I just note that in the ... view
