• 27 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for an opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. I am looking forward to hearing what Sen. (Dr) Khalwale would say about this as a medical practitioner who is familiar with most of the things dealing with this Bill. As you can see, this it arose when COVID-19 pandemic struck us. The last record of containment of such a serious disease ran back into the 1920s. The country found itself in a panic mood. We were using everything possible to contain COVID-19 pandemic. One good method of preventing disease is through cleanliness and availability ... view

• 27 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: community health workers must have these sorts of qualifications. How many community health workers are we training? Even the Kenya Medical Training Colleges (KMTC), which I am happy we have students in the Senate is still a national Government affair. It is not a devolved affair. It is distributed in such a way that some regions in the country do have a lot of these services there. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the people who we train, get absorbed abroad. They go to Botswana, UK or USA for further training and they never come back. Why? The county system has not been ... view

• 27 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: it even if it is child delivery, do so, in such an unprofessional way because of lack of training. Eventually, these patients are forwarded to the district hospitals or Level 4 or 5. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my observation, there is a little bit of disconnect. We need to concentrate on the village unit. The so-called volunteers are the ones who have been there. Even the training of the volunteers and remuneration had no budget in the county and in the national Government. This was left to well-wishers. That has to be processed and put correctly in this Act, so ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this very important aspect of health. It is true that there is a problem, but I do not think that this is the best way to solve this problem of inefficiency in the hospitals. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there have been serious problems in Makueni District Hospital in the business of scan. When someone has had an accident, scanning is sometimes not done in the hospitals. The other problem arises when someone has to read the scan because that patient cannot go to theatre or be ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: How will we make sure that these monies collected is put to good use by the management board or whatever is set up? In my own opinion, we need to look at this Act again and make enough amendments by the Third Reading. Otherwise, I will only support it if amended. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
