Wanjiku John Njuguna

Hon. Njuguna Kawanjiku of Kiambaa (UDA) rose to question the Cabinet Secretary for Health on the status of healthcare services in Kiambu County. The brief intervention was a formal request for information rather than a debate or critique.

Hon. Njuguna Kawanjiku questioned the allocation of the Ksh81.3 billion collected under the SHA, asking how much has been claimed by public versus private hospitals. He urged the Cabinet Secretary to intervene in county‑level health disputes and to consider reinstating withdrawn medical interns to improve service delivery.

Hon. Njuguna Kawanjiku addressed the Speaker, asking that the Cabinet Secretary provide unspecified information or assistance. The brief excerpt does not include the Cabinet Secretary's response or further discussion.

Hon. Njuguna Kawanjiku of Kiambaa (UDA) rose in the National Assembly to pose a question to the Cabinet Secretary for Health. The brief excerpt reflects a routine parliamentary inquiry without additional context or debate.

Hon. Kawanjiku condemned the deteriorating health services in Kiambu County, citing maternal and child deaths, lack of medicines, and non‑functional theatres, and blamed county governors for obstructing national efforts. He praised colleagues for highlighting the crisis and expressed support for the Bill that separates national and county health functions, hoping it will prompt corrective action.

Hon. Njuguna Kawanjiku argues that Kiambu’s large population warrants treating the county as a region and calls for an increase in the number of constituencies. He criticises comparisons with other counties and urges Hon. Kaguchia to ease opposition, referencing the IEBC’s role in boundary delimitation.

Hon. Njuguna Kawanjiku raised concerns about a surge in infant mortality in Kiambu County, challenging the Committee Chair’s claim that infant deaths have declined. He highlighted problems with medical supplies, drugs, and hospital conditions, calling for greater scrutiny and action.

Hon. Njuguna Kawanjiku praised the Departmental Committee on Social Protection’s chair and the launch of the NYOTA Project, which allocates Ksh50,000 to 70 youth beneficiaries per ward. He urged young people across Kenya to seize the funding to start or expand small businesses such as crafts, farming and agribusiness, and affirmed his support for the statement.

Hon. Njuguna Kawanjiku strongly backs the proposed cyber‑regulation Bill, praising its aim to protect Kenyan children and curb extremist, cult and pornographic content online. He urges the Communication Authority of Kenya to be empowered to monitor and, where necessary, block harmful material, citing the rise of AI‑driven radicalisation and cybercrime. While acknowledging challenges, he frames the legislation as a necessary step to safeguard the nation’s cyberspace.

Hon. Njuguna Kawanjiku expressed support for the merger of the Tourism Promotion Fund (TPF) with the Tourism Fund but urged a phased approach to allow TPF to complete existing projects. He called for a transition clause in the Bill to protect funding for initiatives such as the Kenya Tourism Board, Magical Kenya campaign, and wildlife and cultural institutions. The speaker awaits committee amendments before final assent.
