• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, what Hon. Abdullswammad has asked is a very serious matter. That is because it affects the business and livelihoods of many Kenyans. I would ask if it is possible that the Chair seeks a better response from the Ministry 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
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: because what the Ministry has given is inadequate. We need to see progress on how we can prevent COVID-19 at the same time allow people to travel. We could even introduce measures such that everybody who travels by bus must be vaccinated. That will allow them to transport people and in a way be promoting vaccination within our country. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to this very important National Hospital Insurance Fund (Amendment) Bill. From the outset, I want to support it. You know Jubilee in its second term came up with the Big Four Agenda to implement the UHC as one of those anchored in the agenda. In 2019, a pilot project was started in Nyeri, Machakos, Isiolo and Kisumu targeting a population of 3.2 million Kenyans. The Government intended to roll out this programme, but we know what happened after that. The Chair has said that the Big Four Agenda is ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: We have said that the mama mbogas and boda boda riders, that we call in our movement the “hustler nation”, should pay Kshs500 per month. I saw Dr. Peter Kamunyo, the Chief Executive Officer of the NHIF the other day complaining that a huge number of the people are defaulting. They mainly pay when they are seeking treatment and once treated using thousands or millions of shillings, they do not continue contributing towards the NHIF. They go home and do not understand why they should be paying Kshs500. As Parliament, we should review and say that the team of mama ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Kevin Ferdinand Wanyonyi, the Member for Kwanza is my neighbour. I am not a Member of the Departmental Committee on Health. Apparently, you know that most of us who are in the tangatanga movement were de-whipped even from some committees and taken to where none exist. That is beside the point. I know Hon. Mbui next you will be de-whipped from being the Deputy Leader of the Minority Party. You already got your gratuity. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am saying that we need to look at the role the NHIF can play in primary health care, especially in ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: and all the consultants. The only thing is that we reform them and make sure they get the necessary support and equipment to perform their duties. With those few remarks, I support the amendment. view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the outset, I thank the two petitioners for presenting this timely Petition. Unfortunately, they are petitioning because they are hurt. As the Committee looks into the Petition, it is important that it goes further to look into the allegations with data and find out whether the marking schemes have been favouring certain institutions. Whether a child is in a private or a government institution, all children are equal. It is only that as much as we strive to make sure that public institutions are as good as private ones, the challenge might be quality which ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: It is important that once the Committee looks at it, it is also fair to look at whether a child in in Garissa, Endebess, Moyale and Homa Bay. The child is a Kenyan and is equally entitled to all the basics. When we look at the examinations, children in certain conditions are always disadvantaged. Why do they perform poorly while children in other places perform better? It will be an opportunity for the Departmental Committee on Education and Research to look at whether there is fair distribution in terms of teachers, infrastructure and all the basic things all over the ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: This is fair enough. I support the Petition. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
