• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You had said that I could stand at this time. I was reminding the House that this Question was actually answered! view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Motion and, indeed, congratulate my friend the Minister for Medical Services for the good work that the Ministry is performing in this country. Despite the many challenges that the Ministry faces, we know that they have done a commendable job and the congratulations of this House should go to the Minister and the staff of the Ministry. Having said that, I want to point out certain concerns that the public has in respect to the services of this Ministry. First, the practice of public hospitals withholding bodies - and the Minister has ... view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other issue of concern is the ambulance services. You will recall last year this Minister promised this House that there was a scheme that was coming up for pooling ambulances in order to provide this vital service to members of the public, but to date patients are dying unnecessarily in their homes because they cannot get transport to hospitals. Therefore, I urge the Minister to ensure that hospitals in remote areas are provided with ambulances so that patients can reach hospitals. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: The other issue which the Minister has mentioned is the shortage of drugs. It is very clear that patients see doctors in public hospitals, they are diagnosed and medicines are prescribed but when they go to the pharmacies they are told to go and buy the drugs. This should not be allowed to happen in the present Kenya. Some of the pharmacies, we know, are owned by staff who work in those hospitals. Therefore, it is business that goes on. So, I urge the Minister again to look into the issue of drugs. The Kenya Medical Supply Agency (KEMSA) does ... view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, because I want to give my colleagues time to also contribute, the sister Ministry, the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation, should also look into the issue of opening up dispensaries. Members of Parliament have, through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), built many dispensaries in the rural areas, but most of them are lying unused because that Ministry has been unable to provide staff and drugs for those facilities. Therefore, I urge the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation to open these dispensaries so that we can provide the vital services to the rural areas. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have a lot of respect for my good friend, Mr. Mbadi, but now he is debating matters which are not before the House. The Motion before the House does not have anything to do with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Energy, among others. We are debating the matter of the Ministry of Medical Services. Is he in order? view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Leader of Government Business, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order No. 20(1) this House resolves to have a sitting today, Friday 26th August, 2011 at 2.30 p.m. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this House has already done what it ought to have done. It has risen to the occasion and put in more sitting hours in order to fulfill the requirement of the new Constitution and pass the necessary laws to operationalize it. So far, the House has done very well. Even this morning, the House is sitting on a day that is not a Sitting Day. This Motion is seeking the authority of this House that we continue with the good work that we have been doing throughout the week by sitting today at 2.30 p.m. ... view
