• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a supplementary Question on the NHIF view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to discourage the Cabinet Secretary from conflating and including other things in her answer to specific Questions. The Question by Sen.

The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: We want her to tell us, in Nairobi, the public--- view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Question is this: The public institutions in Nairobi, our Level 4 hospitals in Nairobi, the four of them, are owed a cumulative Kshs700 million between Linda Mama and NHIF.

This is because at the end of the day, if you have somebody with a law-making power who does not understand your business, it is very easy for that person to legislate you out of business. I am sure the Senator for Nakuru County understands exactly what I am saying. I have very serious concerns about the sort of country that we are trying to create.
