• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I would like to join my colleagues in supporting this Motion by Hon. Catherine. It is a good Motion because it brings to the fore what ails our country. Cancer is something which we can talk about the whole day and not get a solution. Most people either suffer from cancer or have someone in the family suffers from it. To my male colleagues, I would suggest that you go for prostate screening not just a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), because it is one of the number one killers for men. ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we do not need to bury our heads in the sand when our people are dying, and wait for the Government to respond. We, together with the private sector need to establish hospices all over the country. We had a hospice which was supported by Lady Diana Fund. A couple of years back, the Fund was pulled back. As we speak, there is no funding for hospices which gives palliative care. We need to look at other places where we can get funding for those hospices. I am a patron of the Meru Hospice and I ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: So, we need to establish a fund that will cater for the treatment of cancer patients in this country because most of the patients do not have people to take care of them. We need to even go further and establish cancer hospitals. I am thankful to the Government of India which gave us the Berber throws, but we need more of those. We do not need one. We need many all over the country so that we can detect and treat cancer much earlier. This Motion is very good and I hope the mover will follow up on its ... view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Nakushuru, Mhe. Spika wa Muda. Kwanza, ninampongeze ndugu yangu, Mhe. Mohamed Ali, kwa kuleta Hoja hii ya kuanzisha hospitali ya rufaa kule Mombasa. Nasikitika kwamba katika Bunge lililopita, tulipitisha Hoja nyingi. Hata mimi nilipitisha Hoja ya kuweka chumba cha wagonjwa mahututi katika kila kaunti, na hata kila eneo Bunge kwa Kenya nzima, lakini mpaka leo, Kamati ya Utekelezaji haijasema ni nini itafanyika. Hoja hili ambayo imeletwa na Mhe. Mohamed Ali ni nzuri hasa mambo ya kuanzisha hospitali ya rufaa Mombasa. Pia zikuwe kila pembe ya nchi yetu ndio tuweze kuangalia mambo ya ugonjwa. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Tuna changamoto kwani hatuna madaktari. Hata wakati nilikuwa nikileta Hoja yangu, tulikuwa tunasema hatuna madaktari. Mhe. Mohamed Ali ametuambia leo kwamba madaktari wanalipwa pesa kidogo. Lazima tufikirie ni kitu gani tutawafanyia madaktari wetu. Hatutakuwa na madaktari kila siku, wanaenda kwa hospitali kisha wakirejea nyumbani hawana pesa kwa mfuko. Wanafanya kazi kutoka asubuhi mpaka usiku na hata ukiwapigia saa nane ya usiku unatarajia wakuwe hospitalini, lakini hawana fedha. Tukiwa nchi na Wabunge, lazima tufikirie Kenya yetu inaenda vipi. Tunaelekea vizuri ama la? Kama hatuna afya kama Kenya nzima, basi hatutaendelea mbele. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Nashukuru, Mhe. Ali amesema tunaweza kujenga hospitali na Kshd3bilion, na tuziboresha zile zilizoko ili ziwe hospitali za rufaa na Kshs2bilioni. Nauliza ni nani anatoa hizo pesa, kama sio Bunge kutenga hizo pesa ziende kwa hospitali? Katika Kaunti yangu ya Meru, tulikuwa na hospitali ya Level 5. Kwa wakati huu, Gavana wetu, Hon. Kiraitu, anaipeleka ikuwe Level 6. Nasikitika miaka 15 iliyopita, tulikuwa na mashine ambazo zilitoka Spain lakini hatuna wataalamu wa kuzitumia. Katika Kenya yetu, lazima tutafute wataalamu ili mashine zilizoko kwa hospitali ziweze kutumika. Nashukuru Serikali ya India kwa kutupatia mashine ya babatron mwaka uliopita ya kuangalia saratani. Lakini ... view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Kwa hivyo, lazima tujue kwamba ikiwa tunataka kuendesha Kenya lazima tuelewe kuwa sisi ni ndugu hata kama tunatoka makabila tofauti. Ugonjwa haujui ndugu wala dada. Inatupasa kuwa na hospitali za rufaa Kenya nzima. Tutenge pesa kwa ajili ya hospiltali za rufaa. Pia, tunapaswa tuhakikishe kuwa hospitali za rufaa zinasimamiwa na Serikali kuu wala siyo za gatuzi. Hii ni kwa sababu magavana hawawezi kutekeleza wajibu wa kuwalipa madaktari na wafanyakazi wengine. Kwa hayo machache, naiunga mkono Hoja hii. Ni changamoto kwa Mhe. Ali afuatilie Hoja hii ili tuweze kupata hospitali hii. Tumeshapitisha Hoja kumi na moja humu Bungeni lakini mpaka leo… ... view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: (ICU) na blood donor unit sijaiona ilhali tunahitaji vitu hivyo. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Motion but first, I want to send my condolences, together with my family’s and constituents’ condolences, to Hon. Nyenze’s family and to the people of Kitui West Constituency. The issue of NG-CDF is very emotional because it is not just about giving bursaries to students but also about providing school infrastructure and other things. As we talk about putting funds into the bank accounts of the constituencies, the NG-CDF Committee members should be gazetted so that we can see which projects to prioritise during the long recess. If we do not ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: because the Government will support her. However, there are many more top performers like her who are going to boarding schools, universities and colleges, and who need bursaries. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we need to think about the Women Representative Members of Parliament. They also need to be given their money under the Affirmative Action Fund. We need to see how this House, in totality, can assist to improve the wellbeing of our people. Women Representative Members of Parliament should also have their funds so that they can be seen to be working while in recess in the next two ... view
