Hon. Deputy Speaker, I sit in the Departmental Committee on Health and I have raised concerns about a bulk of what fellow Members have raised here this afternoon. One of my concerns was about the cost of this particular system given that some of the most sophisticated systems that we...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to support the Motion by Commissioner Mishi Mboko. I wish to support as a Member and Chairman of the Caucus on Drugs and Substance Abuse where we have raised the issue of access to mental wellness care in the country. One of...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Order! Yes, Hon. Kibagendi. What is out of order, and under which Standing Order? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. There is a stranger in the House. I have seen someone resembling Hon. Oscar Sudi in the House. (Laughter)

Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health regarding the proposed transition from two-test to three- test algorithms for HIV testing in Kenya. On 22nd August 2023, the acting...

Hon. Speaker, I rise to second this Motion. As the Member for Bumula has said, this is not only a political issue but also a moral one. Sometimes, in this House, we get to levels where we compete on political affiliations. However, on this particular matter—where the Cabinet Secretary is...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My question to the Cabinet Secretary is this: Why is the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) not paying hospitals; both private and public hospitals? It has gone to an extent where our citizens are not able to get services and, in particular, there is discrimination against...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to also contribute to this Motion. While we appreciate that Kenya is a work in progress, we must also do things in the right way and use the right terminologies. The President’s statement that the Government has employed close to 60,000 teachers...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am one of the youngest Members of Parliament. From research, it is factual that 9,100 teachers were employed on permanent and pensionable basis. The rest are interns. That is the truth. Hon. Kibagendi, if you make that allegation, you have the duty to substantiate....

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have read the President’s Speech several times. I also listened to the President, so I know what I am talking about. On what Hon. Nyamai has alluded to, it is around the construction industry. That is what I clearly stated. The job opportunities that...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The problem is that you accept speculations from those who support the President but disagree with the facts I am presenting but let me proceed. The Government is late on its promises and bills. It is time that the Government transformed its lofty visions into...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration the following Question. Could the Cabinet Secretary:

I truly appreciate the response from the Cabinet Secretary, and that the Government has taken this as one of the major issues they would like to deal with. I wish they could enhance surveillance in this season that we are heading to, especially within communities with children who are just...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support as a member of this Committee. Indeed, a regularised industry will guard, especially the masses, from exploitation by unscrupulous dealers. We have realised in the past that every hoi polloi has been involved in selling, manufacturing and distributing drugs for humans...
