I wish the National Emergency Response Committee on Coronavirus would suggest to the Cabinet or this Parliament that we have a special or specific financing for people who are being attended for COVID-19 disease. Sometime in April, they said that they were manufacturing PPE locally. However, from what you hear from the medics, the PPEs are nowhere to be found. This kind of Motion should elicit debate that should go to our Departmental Committee on Health. They should call upon everybody who is a stakeholder, whether it is the National Treasury, Cabinet, Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning or ...

rise after this debate, we will just walk out of here. Members will have exhaled but so what? If there is a shortfall, you say where it is. Sincerely speaking, things which come from that Committee are just nothing. They are like how we expect anything to come from the CS for Education, Prof. Magoha. This is the same thing. We have an emergency but we have nobody to turn to. The people who are supposed to take a decision are enjoying sitting there and collecting data. Do we need data? Do we eat data? Do we get treated and ...

These are things that we need to run away from. We have a national or worldwide emergency of a pandemic. There is no simple solution to it. There should be no simple mind which should be expected to come up with a solution. We need a comprehensive policy statement saying how Kenyans’ bills will be paid, when they suffer from that pandemic. Nobody has asked for it. There is no family which is ready for this kind of bill. Even when you are not ready, you hear that people are just dropping dead in the streets. What is the reason? ...

The Government through the Public Service Commission is the leading employer in Kenya with one million employees. Further the public servants offer key and essential services to the citizens of the Republic of Kenya. Recently, the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury issued a directive concerning freezing of recruitment and hiring of new civil servants for the next three years. The said freeze is likely to have an adverse effect on the livelihoods of the citizens.

It is with this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on the following: (i) What are the circumstances that led to the freezing of recruitment and hiring in the public service?
