• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, protect me. There is loud consultation from my Minority Leader here. view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. My Minority Leader’s seat is next to me and not behind there. We only have two referral hospitals in this country namely, the KNH and the MTRH. There is no clear description that those are the only two referral hospitals. It is my humble request that as we move on, we should have, at least, one hospital in every county falling under the national Government. In case there is a strike in the county government, at least, people have an option of one hospital in the county that is not affected by the strike. The ... view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: This is an embarrassment and it is about life and death. Recently, in Busia County, we saw children who were paralyzed after a certain injection. I want to thank Dr. Mailu, the Chief Executive Officer of the Nairobi Hospital who treated the children until they recovered. Otherwise, the children risked becoming lame. We should not just leave the health function to the county governments but we should look for a mechanism to ensure that, at least, there is a referral hospital in every county under the national Government. view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: This Bill establishes the office of the Director-General of Health as the technical adviser on all health matters. We know very well that the Director of Medical Services (DMS), the position Hon. Nyikal once held is a technical person. My worry is whether we are doing away with that position. Again, we do not want to have duplication of duties. We are talking about increased wage bill. We need to have a clear structure, so that we can know whether we are going to have this duplication or whether each person will have a clear mandate. view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I do not want to talk too much, but my humble request, as we move on, is to have one referral hospital in every county under the national Government. view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support. view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. Hon. Members have talked so much about CDF. The CDF has done very good work in healthcare, schools and security. We were told that 20 per cent of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, was not good. However, as time goes by, this has moved from 20 due to the emerging issues and has reached 40 per cent. We can only anchor the CDF in the Constitution through the Okoa Kenya Initiative which we are working on. As we move on, we should not look far. Our ... view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: It is relevant. Listen. view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. I wish my good colleague was listening. I said that 20 per cent was not good. That is because CDF was not anchored in the Constitution. That is why the court ruled that it was unconstitutional. Her being a lawyer, I expected her to have known this better. Now that Okoa Kenya is there, it is going to anchor CDF in the Constitution and this is the relevance. view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: As I move on, I am happy that she has listened. She is also my fellow Catholic Member of Parliament.
