• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is important for Members to understand that diplomas are not the same. There are diplomas that are issued by two diploma colleges and one is Kagumo Teachers College while the other one is Kibabii Teachers College in Bungoma. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, sorry for the rude interruption. I was trying to inform the House that we have teachers trained at Kagumo and Kibabii colleges who are qualified and hold diplomas to teach in various secondary schools in Kenya. Others who hold diplomas from various universities do not qualify unless they come from those two colleges. The rest should get into other careers. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to also contribute in support of this Motion that has been tabled by my friend, colleague and student, Sen. Kuti. This tells us that my work as a teacher was good and I produced very wonderful people like Sen. Kuti, who is now the Chairman of the Committee. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need to be very serious about health in our country, because this is one of the most important rights to human beings. The most important commitments that any Government should address deal with health, shelter and ... view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, since I have been allowed to continue, it means that there is nothing to observe from my student. Madam Temporary Speaker, I was trying to suggest that there are some areas where you cannot access medicare when you need it. There are areas where if you were bitten by a snake, you would die before getting to a health facility. We rely on this Committee to inform the Senate, so that the Senate can inform the counties and our country will be free from some of these problems. Since the Committee has not gone to other areas ... view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would not mind information coming from such a lady! view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you for that information; although I was coming to it because I was to talk about incubators. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, provision of incubators to hospitals is one area that we should also consider. Hospitals should have controlled heat or temperatures that my friend, Sen. Lesuuda has said. The temperature in the incubator should be the same as the temperature which was provided to the child while in the mother’s womb. But there are some hospitals which have never owned incubators, and you find that the rate at which the kids die after birth and one or two months after birth, is too high in some areas. As we have been told, the cause of these deaths is ... view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: That is what they do. They share beds. Somebody can be suffering from tuberculosis, another one from malaria and another one may be suffering from a chronic illness where he coughs throughout but you find them sharing one bed. The patients end up acquiring three other diseases by the time they leave hospital. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: I will not share with you. However, I will ask you to go to Kerugoya District Hospital and see how they are sharing beds. I have been there at night. They sleep on the floor. That is true. Lastly, since my time is running out, let me thank the team for exposing some of these problems. If it were not for the Committee Reports, we would not be talking about this here. I am hoping that those people who will take over county hospitals will do this with all due respect and diligence. Let them not sack workers at the ... view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am withdrawing the tuberculosis part but the fact is that they share beds. I am only not sure whether some of them suffer from tuberculosis. Lastly, since my time is running out due to many interruptions, I thank the team. Thank you. view
