I hope my colleagues and the Committee will see the essence of why it is important to get other people involved in the identification of those who require support and those who do not. The Bill proposes to amend the NHIF Act in New Clause 22D(3) that talks about regulations and rules. It states that the board, in consultations with the Cabinet Secretary, shall make rules and regulations. As all of us are aware, rules and regulations could ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. As the Leader of the Majority Party has said and as my colleague in the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives has said, we had actually discussed and dispensed with this Bill both at the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives and as well as on the Floor of this House.

• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Bill because we already made comments on it and there is nothing more we are adding. I urge my colleagues to pass it so that it is taken to the Senate so that they can finalise the matter and give SASRA the opportunity to supervise and manage SACCOs adequately and efficiently. view

• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to Support the Motion as read and moved by the Leader of the Majority Party in respect of documenting the history of the Parliament of Kenya. view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: In fullness of time and unfortunately, it is not around but is on Hansard, it will be erroneous to talk about the National Assembly instead of Parliament of Kenya. Prior to the 2010 Constitution, we had Parliament. That is a historical fact that we cannot erase. view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Secondly, we have two Chambers. The senior Chamber is the National Assembly and the busybody Chamber is the Senate. Nevertheless, we cannot assume that they do not exist in history. view
