This Report aims to help prevent the recurrence of the systemic failures in that institution, as well as help the country’s largest referral institution redeems its very valuable image. This Report recommends considerable re-examination of the way KNH operates, improvement of the health services and, in particular, referral of patients from other hospitals around the country and the rest of the African Continent. It is important that we note that KNH is unique because of the number of years it has been there. It has served this nation and many other populations that are around the continent. It is important ...

In my 27 years of experience in the health service - that is since 1991 - I have learnt that societies grow to their full potential through health care and investment in their health services. I, therefore, ask this House to adopt the Report of this Committee which entails the way forward, and not looking backwards to what happened. We want to utilise this opportunity that is ahead of us to learn from past mistakes of the hospital. It has been bedeviled by inconsistency in management and the process through which the hospital is taken care of. That includes the ...

Can Members please reduce the volume of their consultations? In simple terms, there is incapacitation of an institution due to a surge in patient traffic that is compounded by inadequate beds, inadequate equipment, inadequate service, over referral from counties and overwhelming walk-in- patients. These are critical and crucial matters that our Committee has identified: these issues require examination and work. How do we address some of these things? Resource allocation is one of the principle things we can look at. The hospital has not been getting adequate resources. We need to manage and support the current meager resources to absolute ...

to ask the Minister for Medical Services:- (a) Is the Minister aware that Messrs. Hassan Noor Wario Diba and Hassan Abdulahi Roba died in Moyale due to lack of assistance from Moyale District Hospital following a road accident on Thursday, 22nd November, 2012?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was rising on a point of order when the Assistant Minister was on the Floor. While we agree with what the Assistant Minister suggested there are rather some straightforward questions that needed to be urgently addressed. I remember you directed the Minister that in special circumstances like the far-flung areas, which we raised, he finds ways and means of addressing the issue so that a few machines might be provided for those people who are within Nairobi and want to register.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is, indeed, very serious. I was in the House when we requested the Assistant Minister to really get to the bottom of this matter and give us convincing answers. It is below expectation.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point I asked that time, and that I still raise, and I beg for a convincing answer, is that some parts of this country, as we all know, are really very far from the epicentre of the nation. These are places such as Moyale, Loyangalani and Mandera. The roads in some of these areas are not even passable because of the rains which are ongoing at the moment.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have so many students who cannot afford exorbitant fares to go and register. What is the Assistant Minister and the Commission doing to ensure that Kenyans will exercise their very important right to vote? They should not miss out in this registration exercise; they should have an opportunity to register here in Nairobi just like the people who are in Ugandan, and who are going to vote in Kenya, yet they are outside this country. It is easier for them to reach here than it is for people in Moyale.
