• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Ministers in that Government are idle. I do not know the name of the party of that Government! But in that Government, the Assistant Ministers have said that they do not have jobs! They are idle! Yet, the Vice-President and 3264 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 16, 2007 Minister for Home Affairs is saying that they are tired! That is why the majority of the Assistant Ministers have walked out in protest! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that there are many pending Bills. I do not need to repeat it. Give them an opportunity ... view
• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I wish to oppose. view
• 15 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. view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the Assistant Minister is not being frank with the House. They are the people who posted the 3,077 nurses who were recruited. So, obviously, there is a list of those nurses. The Assistant Minister is playing games so that when the House goes on recess, at least, he will have more time to hide himself. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I, therefore, request that the Question be deferred until tomorrow, but not later than that. view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Very well, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this issue touches on affirmative action, as far as women are concerned. A male condom is sold at Kshs10. A female condom costs Kshs200. That is 20 times more. The Assistant Minister has said that free condoms are available in Government clinics. But those clinics are closed very early. Do we expect somebody to drive around looking for a Government clinic to get a free condom? We want the prices to be the same. If a male condom costs Kshs10, then a female condom should cost the same! Could the Government consider zero- rating the female condom ... view
• 8 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. view
• 8 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in part (b), I had asked for a list to be tabled of the nurses who have been posted per district and per constituency. It seems there is a list for only those who were posted per district. I would want to know how many nurses were posted per constituency. Does the Assistant Minister have the list? view
• 8 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am asking this because the nurses have been posted to 3050 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 8, 2007 Government friendly constituencies. That is why I wanted to see the list per constituency. view
• 8 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In part (b) of the Question, I wanted to know the breakdown per district and also per constituency because these nurses have been posted according to whether a Member of Parliament is friendly to the Government or not. But since he has refused to table the list per constituency, will I be in order to ask that this Question be deferred until he tables the list as per the constituency? view
