Sen. Tabitha Mutinda, are you saying that you are unable to interrogate that response effectively because it was received this morning?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, if that is the guidance, then I follow your guidance.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My question is regarding SHA. Since it took over, it has been facing a lot of challenges---

You will get an opportunity at that time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a matter of life and death and the Cabinet Secretary has a very good opportunity to address Kenyans on this issue. Cabinet Secretary, I have a living patient by the name of Sheilla Litunya Omng’ala...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to welcome the Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Duale, to the Senate. From the outset, I want to state that Linda Mama was one of the best initiatives this country has ever had. Are there health facilities in this Republic detaining mothers who have delivered...

Sen. Beatrice Akinyi, proceed.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Bwana Waziri, looking at Linda Mama, unfortunately, you know, free things also at times come with a price. We have gone to inspect hospitals. We have found shortages of staff, high workload, inadequate equipment, inadequate beds and delivery theatres are not there. Seriously, it is...

Yes.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Waziri Duale, welcome and thank you. You are doing a good job. My question is very simple. It is about the transition from Linda Mama to Linda Jamii. Did we at any point lose the package of Linda Mama as we transited to Linda Jamii?...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Mine is related to what Sen. Akinyi asked. I saw the maternal deaths report. Nyandarua had the least maternal deaths report in the entire Republic. However, my question, Waziri is; since most of these facilities that we have are run by county governments,...

Proceed, Sen. Methu.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. Allow me to just remind Waziri that the duties under the Ministry that he heads are very massive because you can live without education. You can actually live, you can actually borrow some food from a neighbor, but you can never borrow...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My question is very simple. What is the fate of thousands of Kenyans who cannot afford to pay SHA for themselves, Hon. Waziri?

Sen. Gataya Mo Fire.

Hon. Cabinet Secretary, you may now proceed to respond. The Cabinet Secretary for Health (Hon. Aden Duale) : Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir and Members. Let me start with the question by the hon. Senator for Uasin Gishu and the Chairperson of the Committee on Health. Yes, the matter was...

Order! The Cabinet Secretary for Health (Hon. Aden Duale) : Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have no mandate to give my views on the Senator. Hon. Cabinet Secretary (CS) , do not engage the Hon. Senators directly. The Cabinet Secretary for Health (Hon. Aden Duale) : Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir....

That is why the CS has proceeded to respond despite Sen. Ojienda’s absence.

Hon. Chute Muhammed, please proceed.

Thank you, Cabinet Secretary, for explaining clearly the operations of SHA and the system in the health sector. My question is, how can the Ministry guard against governors that are killing the public side of medical practice, that is, the public hospitals, because they have their own in town, so...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, Sir, and Cabinet Secretary, for what you have explained to the House. You reviewed the HANSARD to get the details of it. I am sure you have dealt with maternal and infant mortality rates, especially because we have been alarmed by what we have seen in...

Sen. Veronica Maina, please proceed.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Whatever I wanted to ask was on the issue of UHC staff, which Sen. Cherarkey has already highlighted.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have listened to the Cabinet Secretary in this House and also through the media. When he speaks to SHA, he speaks on two cardinal issues; the success of registration and the challenges in the reimbursements. However, in health delivery, the real issue is service...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, could you contain him?

Sen. Boni--- (Sen. Cherarkey consulted loudly)

Sen. Boni, could you address the Chair? Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to commend the Ministry for unearthing the fraud that had been perpetrated, which cost SHA approximately Kshs 10.6 billion. The effectiveness or failure of SHA, as the Majority Whip has said, is out there. It...

Sen. Nyutu, your statements are drawing unnecessary trouble.

Proceed.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. One would think that Sen. Cherarkey was born a Senator, given how he refers to others as first-time Senators. Yes, I am a first-time Senator and I am proud of it. Sen. Cherarkey himself was once a first-time Senator.

My question---

A point of order has been raised. You cannot interject. Proceed.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I withdraw and apologise, the word “adherence” means you support an idea or party. So, it is good that the Senator has gone on record that he does not support it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, I thank you. I withdraw and apologise. Let the people of...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will follow the cue from the experience of the Senator for Nandi and say that a sycophant is only somebody who says things to please somebody else somewhere. With that, I withdraw and apologise. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I now proceed to ask my question...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to ask my good friend, the CS, a question on the status of NHIF reimbursements, which have been outstanding; if there is any breakdown that he can give this House. This is because as we talk about SHA, we should also be alive...
