• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I thank all the Senators who have already contributed to this. My request has already been requested by Sen. Sakaja and Sen. Olekina. We cannot wait for 14 days to get a response on this issue because it is clearly very urgent. Also, there are some statistics that Sen. Sakaja has given. This virus is spreading even before its effects are manifested physically. I think that there is a lot of laxity and Kenyans are very worried about his issue. My request is that we vary the order that you had given ... view

Mutula Kilonzo Jnr.’s Statement, I would like the Ministry to also give clarity on where is the place for mental health in the upscale for UHC. It was missed out in the first four counties.

• 25 Feb 2020 in Senate: Secondly, could the Ministry also clarify or give their positon and statement as to the funding for Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital?

That was pronounced about a year-and-a-half ago. If they are going to upscale UHC, we want to see how our national teaching and referral hospital is doing. view

• 25 Feb 2020 in Senate: Lastly, on the issue of medication, we know that NHIF is only funding first generation drugs for mental health patients and we know they do not work. In fact, they come into the place for healing because the side effects are so bad that most patients will run away from these drugs. This affects their long-term healing. I would like the Ministry to tell us, as they are upscaling UHC; where is the place for second generation mental health drugs? Lastly, if the upscale is going to happen, we want to know where the budgets for the counties to raise ... view
