Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Hon. Speaker, on behalf of Leader of the Majority Party, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table:

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to thank the Cabinet Secretary for that response. While we are in Uasin Gishu County, there is a road that goes from Turbo, Tongaren, Babaton, all the way to Kisawai and Endebess, which His Excellency, the President---

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Yes. The Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport (Mr Davis Chirchir) : I will answer that because I have already handled Kitale Swamp. I can just deal with it together with the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) on the road that Hon. John Paul raised....

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. My neighbour here, the Member for Emuhaya, is asking me: “What do you want to do as a House?” As it exists today, KIPRE is a Semi-Autonomous Government Agency (SAGA) within the Ministry of Health created under a legal...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) No, it is 99 percent complete. We have people who are supposed to have been compensated, but they are yet to be compensated to date. Hon. Caleb Amisi asked about the people of Matisi and we also have people in Endebess, especially around Soko...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) I agree with you, Hon. Speaker. You are aware that His Excellency, the President, has stated on several occasions that work on the road will begin soon. I think most recent should have been last month. For those of us from that area, our...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Omboko Milemba said he does not know whether KIPRE was involved in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic. I wanted to inform him that KIPRE was a key partner in the investigations into COVID-19. Even today, they are...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe the correct position would be to oppose the Senate amendments to the National Disaster Risk Management Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 24 of 2023) . As aptly put by the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party in...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Cabinet Secretary, my question is on the Kitale-Suam Road. It is 99 per cent complete.

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Cabinet Secretary, my question is on the Kitale-Suam Road. It is 99 per cent complete.

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, at one point, the Government introduced what we call “amenities” within public facilities because it was noted that many Kenyans preferred a cleaner environment and wanted private rooms. These are available within Government institutions. So, this is a matter of individual...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion. The Hon. Sabina Chege states that, therefore, the House resolves that the Government, through the Ministry of Health, implement the Kenya Universal Health Coverage policy 2020- 2030 and introduce a policy on the mandatory use of public...

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you for that amendment. Procedurally, we should have amended it before the debate.

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Yes. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Kenya Kwanza Government introduced the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) through four Bills that this House passed. As a result, the Social Health Authority (SHA) was launched, which manages three funds, namely: the Primary Healthcare Fund, the Social...
