• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Minister for bringing this very important Bill to this House. Offices of the Provincial Administration, the chief, the DCs, DOs and County Commissioners are very important to the national Government. Kenya is a unitary State. It is very important that the national Government services are co-ordinated and exist at the grassroots level. Many people who believe that the Provincial Administration should have gone live in the old days when this particular service was, probably, misused because of the political situation that prevailed then in this country. Currently as it is, ... view

• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: (a) Yes, I am aware that there are many pharmaceutical technologists in the labour market who have not been employed to date. Both public and private medical training institutions which train health workers do so for the labour market and not necessarily for absorption into the public service. Recruitment of staff into the public service depends on various factors including the existence of vacancies in the authorized establishments for the various Ministries or departments, existing workload and more importantly availability of funds in the voted provisions among others. Currently, the Ministry of Medical Services has 414 vacant posts in the ... view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: (b) In view of the foregoing, the Government will continue to recruit pharmaceutical technologists and other health professionals in the labour market depending on availability of funds. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I very much agree with the hon. Member that there are quite a number of these officers who are in the market and are not employed but also there are so many other professionals in the country who are not employed. Employment of these professionals together with others in various sectors also depends on the prevailing economic circumstances generally in the country. So, it is improvement of that that will actually determine the absorption rate of these various professionals. It is not only pharmaceutical technologists who have a backlog of these numbers in the labour market ... view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the absorption, as I had earlier indicated, is very much dependent on the prevailing economic circumstances. As earlier indicated, the health sector is one of the key sectors in our Millennium Development Goals for purposes of development, but we need to look at the matter holistically, namely, the greater picture of economic situation in the country. Therefore, we will continue to employ most of our professionals depending on the economic circumstances, availability of funds and also on the basis of priority depending on the line Ministries and how they prioritize the professionals to be employed. There ... view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have answered that part of the question asked by Mr. Chanzu. However, the Ministry can consider prioritizing on the basis of the time of graduation and seniority in the market for these particular officers when they are being employed. For the private sector, these are private businesses and the overall economy is what encourages growth in that particular sector and, therefore, employment. Therefore, we need to address the problems of the economy and improve our economy, so that the private sector can also thrive and employ some of these professionals. view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand here to very much support this Motion, but with a small amendment. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank hon. Mungatana and Dr. Nuh for their effort in bringing the two warring communities together. They have worked tirelessly and I would really like this House to support them in their efforts, to ensure that they bring peace between their communities. This House has all along been supportive since this conflict started. It is high time we stood up to this. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to clearly explain the circumstances under ... view
