CHEGE SABINA WANJIRU

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also want to congratulate my sister, Hon. Lesuuda, for bringing this Motion. As somebody mentioned, GBV affects both men and women. Just last week, a lady who suspected that her husband was having an affair with another woman woke...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives regarding a proposed mode of payment for coffee farmers in the country. Hon....

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Hon. Deputy Speaker, although I will also stand to support the Motion, I need to raise a matter concerning how business is being run this morning in this House. I wish to register my disappointment that the Question was put on my Motion and you...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) I am on that, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Breastfeeding Bill was second on the Order Paper. As the Mover of the Bill, I was not consulted on why it had to be stepped down and why we had to move on to the Motion instead....

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, Jubilee) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I decline to offer an apology. This is a House of records. Under the Order on Questions, I was around, closely following the proceedings, and was aware of what was coming up. I was following the Order Paper and the Order on...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank the Members for the great support they have shown towards this Bill. It is such a coincidence that we are celebrating the World Breastfeeding Week annually from 1st to 7th August. I am very grateful that we can conclude this...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health regarding coverage of cochlear implant surgery under the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) . The...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) That is fine, Hon. Temporary Speaker, although a week would have been enough. I need to know whether it is covered under SHIF or not and the measures in place. Being a doctor and a former Principal Secretary, I am sure he can fast- track...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, allow me to donate one minute each to Hon. Emaase, Hon. Mulanya and Hon. Jalas, who had shown some interest, and then I will conclude. Thank you. 30th July 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 16 Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP)A certified version of...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank all my colleagues, Members of this House, for supporting this Motion. As a former Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health and from my personal experience with a father who has been sick for a very long time,...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, Jubilee) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Breastfeeding Mothers Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 8 of 2024) ...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I wish to welcome all the schools that are present in the House today. I am privileged to welcome a school from my county, Makuyu School, Karibuni sana. I am very happy to see them...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Allow me to congratulate the Hon. Member for being a new father in town. Well, done. I will speak to our girls and tell them that breastfeeding is fashionable. Let them not think that when they give birth, they will give formula milk to their...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Motion is also very important to the elders. I urge my colleagues to welcome our visitors as they support. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, aware that Article 43 (1) (a) of the Constitution...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Thank you. I would like to state that I have moved this Motion based on my personal experience with public health facilities, both at the constituency and village levels, during my tenure as Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health. I note that Hon. Nyikal...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) The Government, through the Ministry of Health, implements the Kenya Universal Health Coverage Policy 2020-2030 and introduces a policy of mandatory use of public health care facilities by all civil servants, public officers and State officers using medical cover catered for by the Government of...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) I had indicated earlier that there was a slight change in the Motion on how it should read. It reads: “This House therefore resolves that the Government, through the Ministry of Health, implement the Kenya Universal Health Coverage Policy 2020-2030 and introduce a policy on...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would like to ask whether it is in order for the Member to mislead the House that private facilities have everything that we need? I would like to urge the Member, after this sitting, to take a drive to Kenyatta University...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) I am informing him.

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) The notion out there is that our public facilities do not have what it takes. I urge any member to visit the KUTRRH when they undergo their annual medical check-up. We do not have such a facility in Kenya or East Africa. So we have...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to join my colleagues in conveying my condolences to the families of departed Hon. Members. I had met Hon. Phoebe Asiyo. I join the other lady Hon. Members to say that she set the pace for us. The onus...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to echo what the Leader of the Majority Party has just said. I request the Cabinet Secretary to consider the well-known Mau Mau roads. Many of these roads are still incomplete - especially small sections - which continue...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I support the Bill as a proud Kenyan. I have been elected twice as a Women Representative. I have seen the proposed amendment to Article 204 (c) of the Constitution on inclusion. The affirmative action kitty is...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Five minutes are okay, Hon. Temporary Speaker. However, I do not want to be interrupted because that would disrupt my line of thought. Hon. Temporary Speaker, we have had demonstrations before, but we have never heard of people raping their own mothers and sisters. Yesterday...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I am very happy when I see Members on the divide happy about the Budget, the allocations and the distribution that have been done. I was just reflecting on the journey that we have come as a nation from 1963 when we...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I am very happy when I see Members on the divide happy about the Budget, the allocations and the distribution that have been done. I was just reflecting on the journey that we have come as a...

Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defense, Intelligence and Foreign Relations regarding the sentencing of Ms Margaret Nduta Macharia in Vietnam. In July 2023,...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Hon. Speaker, I humbly request the Committee to reach out to the Ministry immediately because a Kenyan is facing a death sentence. It is urgent. The deadline for appeal was yesterday, 12th March 2025. I know we are going on recess, but I ask that...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Members elected to lead committees as Chairpersons and Vice- Chairpersons. Having been one for two terms, I remind my colleagues that this is a huge responsibility bestowed upon them. It is important...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. I stand to support the Procedural Motion. I understand that my friend, Hon. Ngogoyo, is still learning.

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) That is why I even started with "my friend," so it is even deeper than that. So, Hon. Ngogoyo is still learning. Sometimes, special occasions and situations, especially when we have reports or Motions with timelines, require us to relook at the Order Paper. I...

Hon. Sabina Chege (Nominated, JP) Yes, Hon. Speaker. It is high time we looked into KPLC and especially in areas where we do not have digital metres. Their bills are funnily generated. Many businessmen and industries are moving out of the country because of the high cost of power. Kenya...
