• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the letter and spirit of expectation of that particular provision in the Act was to ensure that the Minister of Finance is sequentially and cumulatively able to inform the country on a monthly basis how much has been collected in terms of expected revenues and how much has been disbursed to the implementing Ministries. The country needs to know on a month by month basis whether the budget is being followed and ensure that every Government department is allocated funds according to their budget. We do not want to see one Ministry receiving 90 per ... view
• 17 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to ask for a Ministerial Statement from the Attorney-General on certain issues and status of the music industry in so far as collection and distribution of royalties is concerned. This is in light of the fact that the Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) licence was terminated through Kenya Gazette Notice No.5093 of 19th April, 2011 and later expired on 30th October, 2011. In his Statement, the Attorney-General should address himself to the following specific issues:- (a)To furnish this House with the audited accounts of the collecting agency from the year 2006 ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sometimes last year, this House constituted a Select Committee to look into the root causes of cattle rustling. After a rigorous study and fact-finding missions across the country and in various areas where that menace is prevalent, a Report was compiled with recommendations on how to prevent incidents of cattle rustling. Since that Report was debated and adopted by this House, could I be in order to request the Minister to consider implementing the specific recommendations in that Report that appertains to how we can curb cattle rustling with particular reference to ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation:- (a) whether she could consider elevating Makuyu Health Centre to a Level IV facility, considering that it serves a catchment of over 100,000 people and is located on the busy accident-prone Kenol/Makutano highway; (b) whether she could also set up an Accident and Emergency Unit at the hospital in view of the many accident victims who are admitted to the hospital; and, (c) when the Government will also supply ambulances to the “Model Health Centres” built under the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP) as previously pledged by the Minister. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for the answer. For the past three years or so, I have been pursuing the question of elevation of Makuyu Health Centre to a sub-district hospital, or Level IV. I thank the Minister because she has had the opportunity to visit this health centre when she came over to launch the malarial campaign. I took her to this health centre and made the request that the health centre be upgraded. Then on 30th of April, 2010, she happened to have visited the area of Murang’a County, specifically Saba Saba, and again ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Now, when she comes here and tells me that she needs to liaise with the Ministry of Medical Services, so that the necessary can be done, I would have imagined that since we have been talking that she had already liaised with her counterpart Minister; as hon. Members, sometimes we do not know where her mandate ends and where the mandate of the other Minister begins. Could the Minister give the House a timeline within which she will have liaised, so that we can know whether it will be by December or what time? view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I would be in order to thank the Minister for undertaking to ensure that within three months--- I do not have to now go to the counterpart Minister for Medical Services to take him to the site, so that he can appreciate, assess and actually agree that, that health centre requires upgrading. I thank the Minister for that. However, even though she is talking about the need for her to distribute them in terms of priority, the term “priority” is relative. I would request that since every model health centre was actually initially designed and ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very noble Motion. First, I want to express my gratitude to the Mover, Mr. James Maina Kamau for putting his critical thoughts to this devastating condition that is afflicting thousands of Kenyans. I also appreciate the fact that of late we have had quite a number of high profile personalities in this country who have succumbed to cancer even with all the resources that they can marshal. This has gone to prove and inform all Kenyans that cancer is a disease that is non-preventable ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, cancer is afflicting the young generation more than has been the case in the past. In the past, we have known cases of cancer that have afflicted persons over 45 years. Of late, we have learnt, including through the media yesterday that as young as nine years, children are suffering and being treated for cancer. When cancer afflicts a person, as the Mover has put it, it is like sending a death sentence to that person. The Government should be prevailed upon to ensure that the least that it can do is to provide free ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: I want to appreciate that we have a Motion coming up on the cancer control and policy by hon. Nyammo. When this Motion comes to the House, I would urge the Members to support it, so that we can get the intent and spirit of the Motion that is now before the House implemented and eventually becoming law. I wish that Members support this Motion unanimously and strongly so that we can begin to gain the benefits of this. view
