On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. My point of order is on the issue raised by Hon. Wanami, specifically his complaint about the promotion of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Hospital to a national referral hospital. It is not in order for him to raise such a complaint. He should, instead, have made...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, this is a very important Commission that appeared before the Departmental Committee on Health on a Bill from the Senate on Reproductive Health. They came with their commissioners and senior staff to Parliament. I applaud the Commission, which is led by the former Member of this House,...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, thank you. As much as we approve it, on the issue of the Senate oversight, you know the Senators have always opposed almost everything like: The National-Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) , Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) and all that. As a House, we need to be...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I second. (Loud consultations)

Put the question. (Question, that the words to be left out be left out, put and agreed to) (Question, that the words to be inserted in place thereof be inserted, put and agreed to) (Clause 24 as amended agreed to) Clause 25

I am still the Chairman until tomorrow. I will still be a ranking Member of the Committee. We can give a response in three weeks when the National Assembly resumes from recess.

Hon. Speaker, I know the issue that Hon. Kaguchia has raised is critical, but I indulge him to allow a smooth transition so that we can give him a satisfactory answer. If we were to give him an answer by Friday, he would still complain that it is not satisfactory....

Hon. Speaker, I second. (Hon. Ruku GK and Hon. Dorice Donya were upstanding)

Which university was that?

On a point of order? What is your point of order? Hon. Speaker…

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health, I rise to give a Statement on matters concerning the death of Mr Gilbert Kinyua, which has elicited a lot of debate among members of the public and raised concerns regarding the safety and security of patients...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have heard Hon. Esther Passaris. The basic facts we should establish are that Gilbert Kinyua was paralysed before he was admitted at the hospital. He had a severe form of Guillain-Barre syndrome, rendering him unable to move his limbs, both his hands and legs. While...

The doctors who attended the patient say the diagnosis is Guillain-Barre Syndrome. It is not Parkinson's disease. That is confirmed by the Acting CEO, Dr Sigilai and the medical doctors in the hospital. The patient was referred from Saint Mary's Hospital with bedsores. That means that wherever the patient was,...

Hon. Speaker, I did not make that kind of Statement. The Hansard can bear me out. What I said is that the patient was referred from St Mary's Hospital to Kenyatta National Hospital. The patient who was abandoned was neighbouring Mr Kinyua at the Hospital. He had diabetes and convulsions....

I got in touch with Dr Njoroge Kamuri who is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) while Hon. Kaguchia was raising the issue. Dr Njoroge Kamuri informed me that relatives of the patient went to the hospital yesterday. The hospital informed them that it would...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. (Dr) Pukose, what is out of order? Hon. Temporary Speaker, we are discussing the Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy, which is before the House. I think the Hon. Member is digressing and is out of order by bringing matters that are irrelevant....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the Liaison Committee’s consideration of the 2025 MTDS Paper as laid in the House. The Report talks about external borrowing being relatively cheaper than domestic borrowing. This is due to the share of concessional loans from multilateral lenders such as the...

Hon. Speaker, I stand to support this request for a Statement by Hon. Omboko Milemba, who is a former teacher, trade unionist, and a Member of Parliament for Emuhaya. It is very unfortunate that this is not the first time this issue is happening. Normally, even before students sit for...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Pukose, what is it? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think the Member is misleading the House because what Hon. Tonkei sought is not a petition. You have already ruled that in a week's time, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will give a response in two weeks.

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. The Member is out of order. He says he asked for a statement three months ago when we were in recess. He needs to understand that his request lapsed with that session. Therefore, there is no Statement to demand. The Member does not...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. (Hon. Muchangi Karemba and other Members consulted loudly) Hon. Karemba and your group, that Kamukunji is illegal. It looks like a Wamunyoro village! (Laughter) representatives from the Social Health Authority to receive comprehensive responses to the issues raised by the Members.The Ministry of Health and the...

Okay. the county debts amounting to Ksh3.5 billion, with more than Ksh2.7 billion being over 90 days old.The counties work with KEMSA to generate forecasts on what should be stocked at the Authority. However, the counties opt to buy elsewhere when it comes to procurement. The Committee will hold a...

Hon. Speaker, I worked with Hon. Cheptumo when I worked as a doctor in Baringo and when we joined Parliament in 2013. He was a gentleman and somebody you could consult for advice. I met him about a month ago, I looked at his health and he was not doing...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On the position of Speaker, I was your agent during the time. I can confirm there was no requirement for you to resign as the Party Leader of FORD Kenya. That passed. Hon. Speaker, as you retreat to rule about the Majority and the Minority, I...

Thank you. I thank Hon. Chepkong’a, together with you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Otiende Amollo as the co-sponsor, Hon. Murugara, and all our legal colleagues in this House for the effort to make this legislative proposal. (Hon. Alice Ng’ang’a spoke off the record) I am being reminded by Hon. Alice...
