• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. On Thursday, March 31st, 2011, hon. Olago requested for a Ministerial Statement on the--- view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, hon. Olago was concerned about our security regarding radioactive materials, especially after the accident in Japan. On specific concerns, I would like to say that the Government of Kenya has a board that deals with radioactive materials. Although this Ministerial Statement had been requested from the Ministry of Energy, radioactive materials and such issues fall under the board on radiation, which regulates the sector according to the Act. Despite the efforts by Japanese authorities to control the meltdown of the nuclear reactors, damage continues to spill out of control, until it reached ... view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I shortened the Statement as requested by the Temporary Deputy Speaker. We have scanning equipment in all airports like Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) Nairobi, Mombasa, Garissa and Eldoret. So, all the major cargo entry points are catered for. On machinery, as I said, we have equipment that can scan all types of things. That was possible with the support of the US Government. view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, I want to believe that no cargo is offloaded without going through proper customs. Therefore, at that point, we have the facility to scan everything that comes into the country, including machinery and motor vehicles. If goods come from suspected areas, we scan them. We have the equipment. view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that there is a minimal influx of Mau Forest evictees to the district as it is only Kusumek Camp that is at the border of Konoin and Kuresoi, which is served by Kuresoi District facility. There is no other nearby health facility in Konoin District. The target or catchment population of the nearby health facilities remains the same as there is a slight reduction since some evictees went back to their original homes in other districts. (b) My Ministry has already put in place plans to enhance ... view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: (i) Establishment of the District Heath Management Team which oversees the general health service provision in the district through monitoring and evaluation. (ii) The community units are empowered with resources such as seven motorbikes for the community health extension workers and 50 bicycles for the community health workers. (iii) The establishment of Kitigich Model Health Centre will further enhance the health of the residents for it will be a referral point for the neighbouring dispensaries which includes maternity as well as laboratory services. (iv) The Health Services Sector Fund (HSSF) is a financial aid to the rural health facilities meant ... view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Minister does not peddle propaganda. I give facts as I know them. I am informed by reliable administration officers that some of the evictees have returned to their homes. I had no reason to doubt that. If the Member says that they have not, I also have no reason to doubt him, but I will have my people on the ground to assess the catchment area. I will also ask my Provincial Medical Officer (PMO) in charge of that area to ascertain whether there are adequate services for the evictees, even if it means ... view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said this has improved. I did not say that every health facility is receiving the supplies. Let me have the complaints. You should not even wait to raise a Question in the House; just give me the complaints and I will check why you do not have drugs, if that is true. We have enough drugs for every health facility. view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am aware of that exercise being a bit slow. My Ministry’s responsibility is to interview and then send the names to the Public Service Commission (PSC) which then publishes the names in the newspapers. We have been pushing for that to be done and I have been informed now that that will be done. However, I apologise for the delay because this was out of my control. It is the PSC, after agreeing that we have done a good job that releases the list and give appointment letters. view
