• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mfumo was Serikali uliopo kwa sasa umeathiri maeneo ambayo yako kando kando na Jiji la Nairobi. Umeathiri maeneo ambayo hayana watu wengi. Kenya hii, tukubali au tusikubali, tuko na mikoa minane. Kuna sehemu ambazo Mwenyezi Mungu amezipatia fanaka. Amezipatia mvua nyingi na watu ni wengi. Kuna sehemu ambazo zina watu wachache. Ukichukulia mfano wa Kisii na Garsen, kuna fanaka huko na kwingine hakuna. Mvua inachukua muda mrefu kunyesha. Ukilinganisha Garsen na Kirinyaga, kuna fanaka sehemu hiyo. Lakini sehemu nyingine hakuna kwa sababu ya mvua. Wananchi wanaishi kwa taabu. Lakini mpangilio wa Serikali ambayo tuko nao tangu Uhuru, ndio unaleta matata. ... view
• 28 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to also make my contribution to this Motion. I want to support the Minister in the vision that he has very clearly shown to this House. He has stated that one of the things that he would like to achieve in this budget is to see a commercially-oriented and innovative agriculture for the benefit of our people in keeping with the Vision 2030. I want to state that there are some very good ideas that the Minister has proposed, which we need to support. However, ... view
• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that the absence of a Board at KEMSA has rendered the agency unable to operate. The Minister dissolved the Board and suspended the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) on 10th July, 2008 for the purpose of paving the way for a task force to investigate complaints touching on transparency, inefficiency and unnecessary bottlenecks in service delivery at KEMSA. October 23, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2977 Along with the dissolution of the Board, the Minister put in place transitional arrangements to enable continuity. These included the appointment of an acting CEO, ... view
• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the tone of the Question itself, there was a suggestion that important things like approving the change of signatories to bank accounts could not take place because there is no Board. What we are saying is that the changes that we effected, and the appointment of the Acting CEO, were communicated to all the authorities and, so they had full authority to operationalize accounts and everything that needed to happen. On the question of supply of drugs, it is, indeed, one of the reasons why we have had to dissolve the Board. There is a problem ... view
• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the hon. Member's concerns about the appointment of the Board, but what we do not want to do is to repeat what has been done in the past, where people were just picked either for political or whatever expediency. We want to pick on good people. We received that report two days ago. I can guarantee that once we consider all the names on the table, we should be having the Board up and running within the month of October. view

• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Within the month of December. This month is coming to an end; so, I am saying that within the next month we should be having it up and running. view
• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that the chair of that taskforce, Dr. Muga, is a former Permanent Secretary, but there were other members on that taskforce. They included Erastus Ruira, Maureen Nafula, Julius Kemboi, Adan Khalif, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Medical Services--- view
• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether that was a point of order. I was just trying to answer the hon. Member, and assure him that the chair of that taskforce was assisted by not only the other members, but even by the Permanent Secretaries of Ministries of Medical Services, Finance and Public Health and Sanitation. So, it is going to be a good thing after we implement the recommendations. Mr. Speaker, Sir, regarding the other issue, I do not know whether the Chief Pharmacist is connected to this matter in terms of making KEMSA work. I can assure ... view
