• 22 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ordinarily, we do not go by the distance as such. There is no standard distance.

• 22 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to assure the hon. Member that there is a plan to reach all those places because when we gazette a facility, it means that we have an intention to progressively bring that facility to the standard that is required. So, I want to give him that assurance, but we also have to do the necessary follow up with the Ministry Headquarters. view
• 22 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I confirm that. Probably, the problem has been the distribution networks of KEMSA, but I give him my undertaking that we are fixing that problem; we will do it properly. view

• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: (b) There is no need to provide a new x-ray machine as the existing one has now been repaired. It was repaired on 3rd December, 2008, and is working perfectly. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when that machine broke down, we sent our people to establish the reason.

So, what we have done, apart from fixing it, is to ask for a power stabiliser from Solartech Company. So, I can speak with confidence and assure the hon. Member that, in future, we hope we will not have that problem. view
