I suggest and propose that we go the Plenary way because it will give us the opportunity to hear for ourselves and see what is happening in the county and understand the problems coming from the governor herself. A Committee heard the first impeachment Motion of Governor Kawira. We now have a chance to consider the impeachment Motion in Plenary. It is true that we have seen this House going through the Committee way with different governors who have been impeached. However, I believe that if we consider this matter in Plenary, it will give us a chance as new ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to put my voice in supporting the Bill. I will go direct to Part II on recruitment of Community Health Promoters (CHPs). This is a good Bill. We have been having a big problem on primary healthcare and issues that concern health workers in the community. Most of our counties are rural based and they have a big problem on health. Getting a health facility or a dispensary is a problem. That is why we are coming in with CHPs, so that they can be first-hand healthcare officers in the rural areas ...

I also suggest that on Section 14 1(g), the head of the primary healthcare at the national level who shall be the secretary, be the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the CoG, so that we have three members at the Primary Health Care Advisory Council (PHCAC). Mr. Speaker, Sir, just to go back a little bit with regard to the recruitment of community health promoters. I also suggest that we have a small qualification on the community health promoters. It needs to have a small qualification even if it is just ordinary level certificate or something like a small certificate ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir and Waziri . The Cabinet Secretary has answered the issue raised by Sen. Tobiko, on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). It was an agreement that the community where these lines go through must get power through the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (REREC). However, the public schools and homesteads within that area have no electricity. If you look at the line going from Sultan Hamud to Loitokitok, there is no power in those homesteads and there is no arrangement for that. Cabinet Secretary, it is good that you give this House the exact arrangements ...
