I have been going through this Bill and looking at it in bits and pieces and one of the issues that has come to my mind and is very clear - and I want to reiterate what my brother, Sen.

• 27 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: how their funds are going to be paid to and distributed online according to the positions which are going to be created. I also want to support my brother, Sen. Wambua. He raised the issue of churches. I want to add that in that list, we must also include the Muslim Community because healthcare is a matter that deals with the very sensitive issue of reproductive health.

During the 10th Parliament, we were in this Chamber struggling to figure out how we could make the TSC an independent commission.

• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: teaching fraternity. So, for us it is quite shocking to see the TSC asking teachers to pay for themselves so that they can go for training.
