• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was more than ready and willing to abide by your ruling to allow the hon. Member to continue but, is she in order to continue misleading the House that we should improve the ratio so that men are the minority when the fundamentals of the new Constitution have the fact that women are a minority and that is why we are giving them affirmative action? view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to mislead this House that they cannot find money to set up a police division in Wamba and a police station in Archer’s Post when he knows that these are some of the oldest police stations in this country? Is he in order to continue misleading the House? I would expect him to take money where the need is. This is on a highway which is rampant with cattle rustling. The other day, they drove away 4,000 cattle from the Samburu because of failure ... view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, today, we attended the National Population Conference. It was being held 21 years after the first one. The same Government committed itself through a Sessional Paper on Population and Development that there would be health facilities after every five kilometers. The question by hon. Dr. Khalwale seeks to find out what the Government is doing to ensure that Kenyans access healthcare in a universal manner which means each and every person. The statistics now, as we speak, including maternal mortality indicate that there are 448 deaths in every100,000 lives. Could the Assistant Minister address himself to the ... view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would really not like to interrupt my good friend, hon. Kambi, but is he in order to persistently mislead this House that a legitimate question on a constitutional provision that the Government is supposed to implement and enforce is a different Question? view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have two requests. The first one is that I had put a request to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government on the threats of evictions affecting the slum dwellers of Kipsongo in Kitale. That statement has been in abeyance for over a month. I would like to know what is happening to it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the specific one I am requesting today is a long one, but I will do a brief one and submit the lengthy one to the Minister, so that he can respond accordingly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise ... view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand guided. But I am also aware that our standing orders allow a written communication which does not have to be verbal in the House. So, maybe, the Minister should respond to the verbal one as per your directions and then table the detailed one and/or submit it in writing to me. view
• 16 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation:- (a) to provide a list of all health facilities in the Turkana County from 1980 up to date, stating name, location/site, type of facility, staffing levels, distances from each other, registration of vehicles assigned and names of the District Health Management Board Members, where applicable; (b) to indicate the number of cases of emergency treatment, especially vehicle accidents, gunshot wounds and other victims of cattle rustling, cholera outbreaks, malaria, dysentery that have been treated in those health facilities per facility in the last 3 years, and what the Ministry is doing to ... view
• 16 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have a copy of the answer and it is quite a detailed one; I am entitled to a written answer. view
• 16 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Initially, the Assistant Minister was talking about responsibilities, now he is talking about the magnitude of the task before him; which is which? More fundamentally, I think the Government has a collective responsibility to Parliament. I would have expected my good friend, the Assistant Minister for Public Health and Sanitation, to have consulted his colleagues. But, as you directed, let him answer what he is comfortable with and we will give the rest to the responsible Ministry, if it is convenient to him; but that is no reason for him to ask for more time. view
• 16 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If you look at part “c”, apart from the referral status of Lodwar District Hospital, the sub-location dispensary, the location and the division are within the mandate of his Ministry. Is he in order to abdicate his responsibility by transferring the whole thing to the Ministry of Medical Services? view
