• 11 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The Petitioner alleged that the objective of such referrals was to defraud the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). Hon. Speaker, the Departmental Committee on Health invited various institutions and individuals. It met the Petitioner himself, the hospital management, the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board (KMPDB), NHIF and also the Committee conducted a visit to the institution. These were the observations:- That, indeed, there was a problem with the registration of the facility. The facility was registered in different names under several agencies as follows:- From the Registrar of Companies, it is referred to Africare Limited. At the KMPDB, it ... view
• 11 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we made some recommendations:- (i) Medanta Africare Limited should ensure that it is properly registered so that when there is a problem with NHIF, then we know who is responsible. (ii) The Ministry of Health as a matter of urgency should develop a policy on international referrals so that patients do not go to the institutions and seek referrals themselves on matters that can be handled in Kenya and having NHIF foot such big bills that can be handled here. (iii)Medanta Africare Limited should put its expansion plans on hold and address the matters that were raised by ... view
• 11 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: (v) The Ministry of Health should ensure that it builds capacity of KMPDB as a regulatory body so that it can handle matters such as these ones of Medanta Africare Limited. On termination of services of petitioners who brought this Petition, the Committee could not pronounce itself on this matter because it seems that it was very complicated and the Committee felt it was not its responsibility to pronounce itself on this matter. I would like to thank the Members of the Departmental Committee on Health for being supportive in doing this investigation. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to agree with the Senate amendments to the various clauses that have been mentioned. The amendment to Clause 2 of the Bill makes it better by making it more inclusive. As opposed to focusing on the ward, it gives an opportunity to focus on the sub-county which means that it is more inclusive. I also agree with the amendment to Clause 53. The effect of this amendment is to rename the “Nuclear Power Energy and Petroleum Agency” to the “Nuclear Power and Energy Agency”. This makes the Bill better. However, there is need to ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This amendment is a bit ambiguous because it says that two persons shall be nominated by the organisation representing the largest number of persons. Which organisation will this be? It is a vague amendment. I want to agree with the Committee that this amendment is not clear. It does not tell which organisation it is going to be. Is it a company or, what kind of an institution is it? It is likely to be discriminative. view

• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also make comments on this Petition that has been presented by Hon. Mwangangi. This is one of our very important sources of water, especially for the constituencies that are downstream, including our big flagship project of Thwake Dam. The Kshs62 billion flagship project by the national Government entirely relies on this river. There are cases which concern the health of our citizens. Now that we are discussing many cases of cancer that we do not know what the cause is, it is very important for this matter to be followed ... view
