• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You heard the Assistant Minister. I have been rising on points of order because the Minister’s answer is a mass of contradiction. Originally, he said that the hon. Member had an original statement; then he later said that that statement cannot be original. Now he has come to tell the House that he cannot withdraw officers who are not there; then he says there are officers there who are maintaining law and order. Those are the officers we want him to withdraw. view

• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for that elaborate answer. If you heard the Minister’s answer, I was specifically referring to the Turkana County. This is a county which, at Independence, had only one health centre and it was the colonial rule before independence that no white lady should go into Turkana because they could not be assured of their health. I want to thank the Government for doing something. However, 85 health facilities in an area of 77,000 square kilometers can only give you one health facility per 10,000 people. What will she do to ensure ... view
• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at the staffing the Minister is talking about in Turkana, it is 125 for 85 health facilities. Surely, being a hardship area, that means that it is difficult for the Government to attract people to work in these areas. What measures has the Government put in place to ensure that the people who are willing to work in the hardship areas are given hardship allowance and other facilities that would motivate them to continue working in these areas? view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, three weeks ago, I had also sought several Statements; one, from the Minister for Provincial Administration and Internal Security on the security situation or rather, the insecurity situation in Turkana County, which was supposed to be delivered. I also sought a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Public Health on the situation of Maternity and whether the Government had issued a circular to the effect the directive given by the Minister that no health facility should detain a mother for giving life. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have a lot of respect for the Deputy Leader of Government Business. But what assurance is she giving to this House that it will be done on Tuesday, when it has not been done on this other Tuesday, given that you directed, as the Chair, that the Statement should come after two weeks, which was supposed to be yesterday? view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If the hon. Member is not available to move this Motion, I think it is because he suspects that the mood of the House is such that this Motion must be defeated! view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can I ask for your ruling that this Motion is so bad that the hon. Member himself is not even willing and ready and that the Chair should not entertain Motions that are--- view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In view of your ruling and also taking into consideration the mood of the House, I would like to request for further directions from you that this Motion appears on the Order Paper next week on Wednesday or even tomorrow afternoon so that we dispose of this matter and reduce the anxiety in the country. view
