• 27 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill. As I do so, I would like to refer to Article 43 of the Constitution.

Members have submitted that for the last 10 years, efforts have been made to achieve UHC, but it has not been possible. This piece of legislation is a further attempt by the Government to ensure that we achieve the UHC. I support. ... view

Again, Members have a chance to read, then, we debate like we are doing today. However, the fundamental time that this House should take advantage of and rise to the occasion is the Third Reading. This is where proposed amendments by the Members of this House will be taken. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I propose that we do not lament as a House. Let us take advantage of our powers under the Standing Orders and the Constitution to amend this law in ... view

• 27 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: I am informing everybody in the House. For those who know, I confirm. It is important to do that. Let me refer to Clause 9 of this Bill. It talks about the recruitment of community health promoters. These are the same people who are currently called community health volunteers. In this Bill, they will now be referred to as community health promoters. He also raised a very critical point. How shall we ensure that the current community health volunteers will also be retained as promoters under this law? It is really a good point. Clause 9 (1) states that- “A ... view

• 27 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: is literate and can read and write in at least one of the national languages or the local language” My problem is the use of the words “or the local language”. I would have preferred to say “and.” When you say “or” it means, you may not know how to read in English or Kiswahili, but you can do it in your language. The document that we are going to have to educate those members of the public, trying to prevent those situations they face, will be in English. As you directed, I propose an amendment to that section, so ... view

• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the truth of the matter is that the system is distorted. I was far much ahead just like other Members. However, I am at the end and you are insisting on following that list. I had said that the Speaker was not following the order. view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Finally, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to add my voice in support of this Bill. I would like to refer the House to Article 43 (1) (a) of the Constitution, which states that- “every person has the right to the highest attainable standard of health, which includes the right to health care services, including reproductive healthcare.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that should be the foundation of this Bill. It is the constitutional responsibility of the Government of the Republic, the county governments and this House, to ensure that every Kenyan has access to good healthcare, which is a social ... view
