• 30 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister for Health and her two Assistant Ministers have actually refused to show up in the House. The posting of those nurses does not end. My constituency, which has a far bigger population and has a district hospital like Dujis Constituency, was only given one nurse. But because I sit on this side of the House--- view
• 30 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: The man who is politically-correct was given 71 nurses! Is that fair? We are talking about 3,777 nurses who were employed and my constituency was given only one! From the arithmetic, what they have given here as postings is 2,136 nurses. If we subtract that from the August 30, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3601 number which was actually employed, there is deficit of 943. Where are the other 943 nurses? Indeed, if they were not posted, we need to have them posted! Could I be given 100 nurses in my constituency? view
• 30 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Clearly, this is a bag. The Attorney-General wants us to start coming to the House carrying similar bags and suitcases, and God knows what else. This is a clear proper small suitcase. view
• 29 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister confirm or deny that it has become a trend for senior police officers to tell junior officers who have arrested armed gangsters not to take them to the police station, but to instead take them to their houses, if they cannot shoot them? view
• 29 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it has become a trend for senior police officers to tell junior officers who have arrested criminals to shoot them. When they take them to the police station, they are told: "Do not take them to the police station. If you want to take them somewhere, take them to your houses." Could the Assistant Minister confirm or deny? view
• 29 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I wish to refer to Head 073 - Dar es Salaam on page 37; in the last financial year, the Ministry provided for Kshs190 million. This financial year, they have provided for Kshs85 million. A committee of this House had the opportunity to visit the new site where work is going on. Unfortunately, most of the expenditure proposed this year is because the High Commissioner wants major alterations done within the residence that is being constructed just next to the Commission. This house is not meant for one person, why has the Ministry agreed to ... view
• 29 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have two issues. First, I want to thank the Minister and his staff for a job well done. I also want to thank him for having found it necessary to either construct new embassies or high commissions, or buy residential premises outside there. When you live in a house for more than 15 years, the amount of money you pay is more than the value of that property. So, we are going to save a lot of money in Recurrent Expenditure. That, I think, is the right way to go. Mr. Deputy Speaker, ... view
• 23 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Health:- (a) how many nurses have been recruited by the Government since 2006; (b) whether she could table the number of nurses posted per district and constituency to date; (c) whether she is aware that many dispensaries built through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) are not operational due to lack of medical staff; and, (d) whether she is further aware that many operational dispensaries do not have laboratory technicians. I would also like to say that I have not received the written reply. view
• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Mr. Wanjala, whom I understand is very tired, to cross over from this side to the other side of the House, without following the procedure? The fact that Mr. Wanjala is tired does not mean he should not bow to the Chair. view
• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is turning out to be very interesting because this Government cannot even convince its own Members to support its Motion, and any other Bill for that matter! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is something very interesting! The assertion by His Excellency the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, that, indeed, they are tired is true. So, I am calling upon Kenyans to retire the entire Government next year! view
