• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am a mother and a Member. This information that the Chair has shared, for example, on the radio stations - I heard him mention Radio Maria in Murang’a County - is not with the people on the ground. For example, I do not have this information. I have been trying to search for where I can keep my children busy when they are at home, but I do not have information. The information could be on paper, but we would like to have a thoroughly explained breakdown of that information. We know that in primary school, there ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: So, through the provincial administration - assistant chiefs, chiefs and the Nyumba Kumi heads - how can we reach our children in the villages and come up with a programme where we do not have to tell them to listen to radio or watch television? They might not even be able to afford these facilities. You might have a radio, but you have no batteries. I just want to add, because the Chair said they are going to have another meeting tomorrow, kindly let us consult widely and see how we can help our children. No child should be discriminated ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will start with the one that is very short. It is a request for statement asked by Hon. (Dr.) Chris Wamalwa on the alleged demotion of top scientist at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI). I had promised last Wednesday in the afternoon that we were to get an answer, but the Ministry sought for more time. They appeared before the Committee yesterday, where they indicated that they were not ready. Today, 6th May 2020, there is a letter that we have got that I want to table, addressed to Mr. Michael Sialai. The letter ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: includes the involvement of the advisory committee and, hence, it is not in a position to give proper information as requested due to the prevailing condition of COVID-19. In this regard, they are requesting for three weeks to allow KEMRI to carry out appropriate due diligence and submit a proper report thereafter. The letter is signed by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health, Ms. Susan Mochache, CBS. view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: On Tuesday, 28th May 2020, the Departmental Committee on Health invited the Ministry of Health to shed some light to us on, among other things, funding streams received by the Ministry for the fight against COVID-19 in the country and a breakdown on how each funding stream had been utilised as of 30th April 2020. 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
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: At the meeting, the Ministry tabled a document that detailed various funding flows. Among other documents, was one showing Kshs1.3 billion budgetary support from the World Bank to support the national COVID-19 response. As soon as the document was tabled, the Ministry realised it had contained the budget-approved proposals which had not been broken down to cover the six months of the support. Unaware that the document only contained the budget and not a costed work-plan, the media went on to publicise the financial proposals. The media coverage gave the impression that the Ministry had already spent Kshs1.3 billion World ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you. The Ministry informed the Committee that the World Bank support is expected to assist the Ministry in the national COVID- 19 response for a period of six months from April to September 2020. We were sure that the funds would be utilised prudently during the period. I will table this document because there is no time. With the proper response from the Ministry, the Members can interrogate the concerns of what happened with the personal protective equipment (PPEs) and what materials the Government has given to each county. I have also attached a document so that Members can ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we actually said that it is good for us to be factual and precise. As I mentioned earlier, we had a Statement from the Ministry last week, which I read in this House. It was only on the use of Ksh300 million. That is the money that the Ministry of Health had received. But as a Committee, we had asked the Ministry to forward to us the document on the money they had received so far, indicating how much had been utilised. Part of the document that we received was received by the Secretariat and it was never ... view
