• 19 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. A.B. Duale’s amendment and move forward. He has taken care of what you have proposed. I thank you. view
• 19 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support the definitions by Hon. Duale. We only differ on storage. When we were in school, we were told that when trying to define a noun, you do not use its verb in terms of definition. So, with due respect to Hon. Duale, if you are defining “storage”, we do not use “store”. Maybe we say “keep” water instead of “store” water. You cannot use its own word to describe it. It is just a bit of syntax. view
• 19 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 19 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I am not objecting to Hon. Osotsi’s amendment, but ordinarily and procedurally, what has been happening is different. Before one comes and gives the gist of his or her amendment, one needs to mention it. He just went straight. When we were struggling to see where it is, he was talking of the gist of it. So, we did not see what it is about the policy. That is where the challenge was. I want him to start by saying “we propose to change a, b, c, and d”, then to the gist of the amendment. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have gone through this Report carefully. First and foremost, I want to thank the Departmental Committee of Health. Within a short period, they managed to come up with a report. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are very clear in terms of universal healthcare. In our Bill of Rights, we talk of universal healthcare. In the Jubilee agenda, famously called The Big Four, there is manufacturing, housing, food security and universal healthcare. Kenyatta National Hospital is a leading referral hospital in this country, where we expect the highest level of professionalism. It is very worrying and ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: people struggling and scrambling. We have had cases of pickpocketing in KNH when visitors go to see their lovely patients. This problem is systemic. When I look at the Committee, much as they have tried doing their work, there are a lot of generalisations. I am not a member of that Committee, but I listened to the proceedings and saw an elderly nurse looking very tired. She was very sorry. She mentioned that she had been overworked all those hours and she made a mistake. I looked at the recommendations and they are not tied with the observations. We need ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: when it comes to the management of a hospital, you do not need a medic. You only need to provide some strategic management skills. When it comes to operations, the medical doctors can handle that. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: So, this Report is not conclusive and cannot be implemented. My proposal is, because the Report has generalizations, we need to go further and have a task force in place that will come up with recommendations which will be implemented so that we do not witch-hunt people. The Cabinet Secretary made a clear decision to let her step aside pending investigations because of what happened. The issue of the sacking the CEO… I have not seen any evidence in this Report touching on Dr. Lily Koros. We are here to represent and legislate. If at all someone is being targeted ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I know it becomes very difficult when you go to a healthcare institution, as a CEO with no medical background, or you go to an accounting firm and find that the CEO is not even an accountant. There are also those issues. We need to know and this is why some of these recommendations cannot be implemented, some of them have no tangible evidence but whatever Sicily Kariuki did as the CS was the right thing to have the CEO step aside pending investigations. Since there is nothing that links her, she should be allowed to go back to her ... view
