• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wanted to raise my concern on a petition which I made in this House on 21st April 2015, which was committed to the Committee on Health, regarding private medical practitioners and to date, the Committee has not called me or the Petitioners.

• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I want to congratulate my colleague and county mate, Hon. Dawood, for having brought this Motion to this House, looking at the plight of our citizens who are in dire need of health services. This Motion should have come earlier than yesterday because the leadership in Kenya has for a long time seemed to neglect the health sector especially where people who are not able to support themselves or the common mwananchi are concerned. Healthcare has become so expensive in this country in that ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: they can rush for Panadol or any other medicine which should be a common thing in each and every hospital. A healthy nation is a strong nation and is one which can develop. Without healthy people, we cannot say that we are building any nation. We need hospitals in each and every county equipped with all the facilities which appertain to medical healthcare. Let us not be dependent on private hospitals which are just localised in Nairobi and a few other towns in this country and at the end of the day, they are there to make money. If your ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would support my colleague, Hon. (Dr.) Kibunguchy, that we need to decentralize the health sector, especially at the personnel level, and at serious medical treatment levels. Let counties handle clinics, dispensaries and the small hospitals but the big hospitals should be centralized so that the Ministry of Health can look into each and every hospital across the country uniformly. If we need a dentist in Mandera, we should be able to do so. As it is now, we cannot transfer that dentist from Kisumu to Mandera because he belongs to Kisumu County. Therefore, people in ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on blood banks, we only have six blood banks in this country yet this country is large. Therefore, if there is a person somewhere where there is no blood bank and wants to give a donation, he will have to either give blood donation when there is an emergency or donate blood and have it transferred to that far place. When it is required, it will be sought from there. Therefore, we need more blood banks to store our blood. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have invested so much as far as ambulances are concerned.

• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, cancer patients have to wait for treatment for months, if not years; because of unavailability of beds or chemotherapy equipment and other facilities.

• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: We need these facilities devolved. Due to the peoples’ lifestyle and the environment that we live in today, we have so many cancer cases in the country. Some of the cases could have been saved but people are dying. Why? It is because cancer patients have to wait for six months or a year to get chemotherapy services. The procedure is carried out in only a few hospitals in Nairobi. If we had many of them spread across the country, screening and treatment would be much easier. Gone are the days when cancer was said to be untreatable. People are ... view
