• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Chair directed yesterday that we use this morning to interrogate a Ministerial Statement that hon. Musalia Mudavadi had given in respect of Pumwani Maternity Hospital. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for the very lengthy answer which he belabored to defend his Ministry and the staff. I will not go into the details, but I just want to leave it to the Kenyans who were watching him yesterday to judge him because he said that he has full confidence in that medical facility, especially the officers in charge given that the Kenyan average death rate is 31deaths for every 1,000 births. However, in Pumwani Hospital, the death rate is 45 to 58 deaths per 1,000 births. This means that even ... view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the second set of documents I would like to table are vouchers, again, confirming the existence of this cartel. The Procurement Officer at Pumwani Hospital, a Mr. Stephen Achenga Musina, owns registered companies and he pays himself. I have carried with me actual vouchers of payment where Mr. Musina paid himself through Ajestic General Merchants Supplies. He also owns Dovic Logistics which is also a briefcase company. Like in the other cases, the members of staff of the Ministry, including the doctor in charge have endorsed these payments. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: The Minister said that he is satisfied with the quality of service delivery at the hospital and I want to table two documents. These documents arose upon realizing the rot at the directorate of this hospital. The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentist Board, the highest quality assurance institution in matters of health in Kenya went and sat in a full board meeting - I have carried the recommendations of this particular board - and wrote to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government, Mr. Musalia Mudavadi; the Minister for Medical Services, Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o and the Minister for Public Health ... view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Ministerial question is in respect of a matter of life and death; that is dying young ladies who go to hospital to deliver and the children they are supposed to deliver dying at the same time. I am not in a hurry to get a half baked answer. I have given them those documents and I have a briefcase full of other documents which I would like to give the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government so that he takes this matter seriously. We want Kenyan mothers ... view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion. At the outset, I wish to condemn the Government for ignoring the welfare of the poor people of this country. I would also like to congratulate the teachers, led by the officials of the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) for showing sensitivity to the plight of the poor. This time, the teachers are not on the streets and out of the classrooms, because they are demanding a salary increment. Teachers are out there because we, as the leaders ... view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, free primary education and free secondary education without teachers is a joke. It is a fraud on the students. Without teachers in classrooms, it is like boarding a bus without a driver. It is like taking a patient to a theatre for an operation without a surgeon. It is like jumping out of a plane in full flight without a parachute. The Prime Minister and the President of Kenya – both of whom who know very well the plight of the poor – have to rise this afternoon and call an end to this strike ... view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have no doubt that the Minister is soon rising to make that announcement here. All that we want to do is negotiate with the teachers, and give us a blueprint on how he is going to bridge the gap of 75,000 teachers. That is the only thing he can negotiate, otherwise on the issue of 28,000 teachers, he must employ them and employ them now. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if only hon. Mbadi and I were listened to last week, the situation we have now would not have arisen. We fought here but the answer had already been provided; because the minority was not listened to, look at the mess you have put our children into. Whereas there has been an attempt by the Budget Committee to move funds from one Ministry to another, in my humble view, as the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), that is not the route to go. The solution is good governance. There are two points in good ... view
