• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: the current wave of the pandemic, bearing in mind that they still need to follow the protocols on wearing masks, sanitising and having washing points. Hon. Speaker, If I could just add something, I am informed that both the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public Works have agreed that PSVs can resume to full carrying capacity and are waiting for the NTSA. I was hoping that maybe by this week or next week, they can quickly have that meeting with their stakeholders and this can fully be implemented. The second question was ... view

• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It also happens that last week, I met more than 30 Chairs of the Matatu Savings and Credit Co-Operatives (SACCOS). What Members have expressed here is the true reality. Majority of those matatus are on loans and they take care of many families, including those of the drivers and conductors. This matter affects the entire public service vehicles and not just the buses as the Hon. Member has pointed out. This needs to be addressed. I went ahead to reach out to the CS for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public Works and the CS ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. We have a request for Statement from Hon. Gideon Koske, regarding the classification of Bomet County as a COVID-19 hotspot zone. He attended in person and he got the response. Unless he has a comment, I do not think I need to go through it. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you. I am well advised, Hon. Speaker. The other response was to a Statement regarding the COVID-19 pandemic situation in Homa Bay County and its environs by Hon. Peter Opondo Kaluma, who I also do not see in the House. He also attended the Committee meeting and he got the answer. view

• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the NHIF (Amendment) Bill, the National Assembly Bill No. 21 of 2021. Before I give my contribution, I want to thank all the stakeholders who came after we published on print media on 10th June, 2021 requesting for comments on the Bill, from the members of the public and relevant stakeholders, pursuant to the provisions of Article 119(1)(b). We had stakeholders who came from the Ministry of Health and NHIF; the Kenya Medical Practitioners Board, Dr. Kahura Mundia, the National Gender and Equality Commission, Central Organisation of Trade Union, Federation of Kenya ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: This Bill seeks to amend the National Hospital Insurance Fund Act of 1998 to establish the National Health Scheme and to ensure that the mandate and the capacity of the National Hospital Insurance Fund, which is famously known as NHIF, will facilitate and deliver the Universal Health Coverage (UHC). This is one of the Big Four agenda item. To my colleagues who normally take to the political podiums to say the Big Four agendas are dead, they need to be in the House at a time like this. I cannot see the yellows. I had seen one before. They need ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Some of the critical amendments that we have done in this Bill is to propose that employers match their employee’s contribution. This is one of the proposals. However, the Committee amended this provision due to the tough COVID-19 times that we have and this would have heavily affected the private sector. We, therefore, propose that the national and county governments to lead and they shall be responsible for paying an equal contribution to any NHIF, in respect to all public officers and state officers. Further, the private employer shall be obligated to top up the employee’s contribution who pay the ... view
