• 23 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: The Chairman has already said that the Italians will be paying US$250,000 per year and any third party who will use the facility will pay US$50,000 every five years. Then there is compensation for land. There are also other things like personnel and equipment. The Italians will bring in equipment and personnel without necessarily indicating that they are for that particular facility. It is very clear in the Agreement that they will provide the Kenyan Government with particulars of non-Kenyan personnel operating in Kenya at the Centre and a list of all equipment destined for the Centre prior to their ... view
• 23 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: The Italians will appoint the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the facility. This is largely because they will fund the facility. They will provide money for the establishment and personnel training. For that reason, it is desirable for them to have the CEO at the beginning. Then there are other issues. For example, when they launch satellites or some orbital platforms, they should communicate with the Government of Kenya within 60 days. view
• 23 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the last two Articles that I wish to talk about briefly are on the area of the responsibilities of the Kenyan Government. One, we will provide the Deputy CEO, who will largely be the administrator of the facility and also in charge of the Kenya segment of the facility, including personnel. view
• 23 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will wind up. The Kenyan Government must identify its training needs and personnel to undergo the training and try to acquire additional land for the facility. Finally, it is on the area of the utilisation of the Centre by third parties and liability of the parties under the Agreement. For the national interest of Kenya, I wish to urge my colleagues to ratify this Agreement. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife the following Question. (i) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware of rampant and continued human-wildlife conflicts in certain areas of Saku Constituency close to the Marsabit Game Park and Game Reserve without adequate intervention from the Ministry? (ii) Could the Ministry state the number of deaths, injuries and destruction of properties reported since 2012 and further confirm the number of deaths as a result of human-wildlife conflicts in Saku Constituency that have been compensated so far as well as pending cases? (iii) What short-term and long-term measures are ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Committee needs to follow up that. We may not be seized of that matter. I will follow it up and share with the Chair. view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I want to thank the Departmental Committee on Health for what I consider to be a very comprehensive and informative Report. If we follow it through with legislation, because this House makes laws, then that Report will not gather dust. We will come up with something that is tangible, formidable and actionable for our country. view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: This Report talks about referral hospitals which are the hospitals of the last resort. When you go to our referral hospitals which the Committee visited and reported on, they do not appear to be referral hospitals. If you go to KNH where many of us visit our patients, it does not appear to be a referral hospital, but just one of the hospitals around. Sometimes we ask ourselves how a patient was moved all the way from Moyale which is 800 kilometres to end up in KNH, and yet something could have been done in Marsabit or Moyale where we ... view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Recently, in Marsabit – these are some of the fruits of devolution – the county under the leadership of the Governor opened a maternity ward, a theatre and a renal unit. If some of the facilities at Level 4 hospitals are cascaded down to Level 3 hospitals, we will reduce congestion in Level 4 hospitals. The Level 4 hospitals will become a pipe linking to the higher referral hospitals. It is at the referral hospitals that we expect to have the best of the best in terms of the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: doctors, equipment and facilities. We have emergent diseases that were not there before in our country. They are no longer emergent. For example, cancer is a major threat to the population of the country. In 2017, we passed a very important Bill in the House to give the Ministry of Health resources to train oncologists so that Level 4 hospitals can have facilities to screen for cancer cells. The reason why we take a lot of our money to India is because we detect cancer in patients at the third or fourth stage. Rarely do we identify cancer at stage ... view
