• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I know that part of the problem is because of the aggressive nature of some of the governors. They do not want to be told that they should wait and put systems in place. We even do not know who is supposed to supervise our district hospitals. Is it the Health Executive at the district? Are the Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) allowed to go to hospitals and start supervising our workers? Is the Executive in charge of health supposed to go to hospitals and start lecturing our doctors? view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: As we speak, many doctors have decided to leave employment for private sector because this one person comes, tells you this, and an MCA comes and gives you instructions. There is serious confusion. We should have started by saying that we devolve the infrastructure and we give counties the power to finance infrastructure. After that we have given them the opportunity to also look at the staffing issues gradually. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, health, as all of us know, is a serious matter. We do not want to lose our people just because systems are not working. We want to continue with the system which has already been tested. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: The system was fine with KEMSA. It had become refined. People knew that drugs would come on this day. As we speak right now, we do not know who is supposed to procure and where to procure drugs from. In fact, I spoke with my MOH and he was confused. He did not know who should supply the drugs. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I read in the newspapers about pension. We want to put away something that has been established and then start something which we are not sure about. I think this House must stand firm and provide solutions. I think this is where national dialogue should happen. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I want to request our friends here that we dialogue. If there are issues, let us deal with them in Parliament because that is the constitutionally mandated body under Article 95 to resolve issues that pertain to people. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I want to encourage our colleagues who are the Members of this House from CORD that they should not take the power of Parliament to the streets. Parliament is here by Constitution and is the supreme body that represents people. The day you allow yourself to take debate outside this House you will be recalled to your constituency and other Members will come and debate serious issues. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: We are being told that this House is not for serious debates but is just for small debates. This is the House that must resolve national issues constitutionally. Anything outside this House is unconstitutional and we should not allow it. In fact, I read that one of the topics for dialogue is devolution. We are now discussing problems of devolution and this is the right place. We are saying that should sit down in this House--- Let us look at where we made mistakes and correct them through a legally recognized system and not through an amorphous body outside this ... view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to repeat that health is a very serious matter that is special and unique in nature. We should do it very carefully and with precision, so that we do not cause miscarriage in provision services because of the manner in which we implement it. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Report and dialogue within the National Assembly or this Chamber. view
