• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: (c) What is the Government policy on postgraduate training for doctors? view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have in my possession a circular signed by the Director of Medical Services which actually cancelled this programme. It is dated 3rd September and he is talking of another circular that is dated 8th September. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to table the circular! view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he will tell us how he disowned that circular which is the reason why the doctors became disillusioned. Having said that there is no policy and given that I know what the policy in the Ministry has been for all these years from 1967 when Prof. Maina Mungai started the School of Medicine at the University of Nairobi, it has been that doctors work for the Government for three years up to seven years and then during that time, they are allowed to be trained. In fact, in the budget of the Ministry every year, 75 ... view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when this matter came up to the notice of the 94 doctors, they ran to the Kenya Medical Association (KMA). The Association went and sat with the Director of Medical Services and the Minister. The KMA then issued a second circular, a copy of which I have here and which I table. view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: The KMA then directed these doctors that Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o and the Director of Medical Services and the Permanent Secretary had made special arrangements with the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Nairobi to have these doctors admitted while the Ministry looks for funds to train them. Could the Assistant Minister tell us, in view of the discussion between them and the KMA, whether it is true they have made those arrangements so that these 94 doctors whose list I have tabled can proceed to the University of Nairobi (UoN) for training while they are looking for money? view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Since this is a matter of grave consequences to the public if we fail to train doctors, I request the Chair to allow the Assistant Minister to come back next week after he has done a bit of research. I have grievances raised by doctors which I tabled; he should look at them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when it comes to next week, he should answer two things:- (i) What happened to the money which we voted for and passed and which was meant for training in the Ministry of Medical ... view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the Assistant Minister to appreciate the fact that Mumias Sugar Company is within the same county as West Kenya Sugar Company (WKSC) and Butali Sugar Company (BSC). However, WKSC pays Kshs3,360 per ton. Mumias on the other hand, you have allowed it to pay Kshs3,148. Given that the Government enjoys majority slots at the KSB, why do you allow MSC to underpay farmers when you have the other experience from WKSC, which is from the same place, paying a better fee? Finally, what are you going to do to make sure that MSC also ... view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member requested that I ask the Question on his behalf and he has already consulted the Chair. I would like you to allow me to ask the Question. view

• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, both at the Moi University and University of Nairobi, the lecturers are trying to expand the medical schools and to teach at those schools, you need specialists. Fifty years after Independence, we are still relying on foreigners to train our children in medical school in this specialty. Could the Assistant Minister tell us how many oncologists he intends to train this year so as to try and meet the high demand at those two universities? view
