"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I do not want to say so many things after my Chairman has gone through the whole Committee Report. I will say three key things about Dr Oluga. Firstly, he was a student at Maranda High School where he scored an A (Plain). Secondly, he was in charge of health services in Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS). Thirdly, he was a Deputy Director in the Ministry of Health and he has been nominated for appointment. Currently, he is a Director in the Ministry of Health. Therefore, I assure Kenyans that we have somebody who has experience and knows the Ministry. He was involved in laying the Primary Healthcare Networks in all the 47 Counties in this country. He was in charge at the Ministry when all of them were created. Finally, Dr Oluga was the Chief Executive Officer of the Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU). Most of the time, the Ministry finds itself in a dark place with the KMPDU. Dr Oluga has worked with the doctors in the Union’s side and the Executive’s side as a Director in the Ministry of Health. This is a qualified candidate whom I am really sure will do well for the health of this country. I second the Special Motion."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support this Special Motion. Dr Ouma Oluga is from my Constituency. Surely, you must allow me to speak about my constituent. Not only is he from my Constituency but also from Okela Village. He went to school in an ordinary primary school called Okela which neighbours my school, Chianda. Like me, he excelled and went to Maranda High School where I also schooled. I am the patron of the old boys. Like me, he topped his class and went to study medicine, while I went to study law. Surely, you must allow me to talk about such a man. There are only two things that I need to add. Both the Mover and Seconder have talked about Dr Ouma Oluga’s experience. However, let me add a few things that are not clear. Firstly, he also served as a medical officer of Health in Vihiga County. Therefore, he has the experience of working in rural or semi-rural Kenya. He also served as a lecturer in medicine which is something that did not come out. He was not only the CEO of KMDPU but also, the Secretary General. This is important because you will remember that during his tenure, he led the longest doctors’ strike in the country that lasted for a year the time we had problems with doctors.

"content": "one is more suitable than a person like that, to bridge that relationship between the practitioners and Government. Lastly, it is also important to mention that he served as a Registrar at KNH, the biggest hospital. Lately, he has been the Director of the Health Sector Coordination. In that capacity, he interacted not only with the counties, but also with the partners. So, he knows the terrain. At a time when we have all sorts of issues with SHA and SHIF, no one is more suited to help us navigate this conundrum other than Dr Fredrick Ouma Oluga. I support the Special Motion, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

Where else could they have found him other than in ODM?"
