• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that is a totally different question from what has been asked. What we have said is that we are going to gazette 600 facilities, and I do not have a list of all the facilities in the country here. So, if somebody were to ask a specific question, I would answer. view
• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the information we have at our disposal is that these are the only two facilities that have been completed. The rest are at various stages of construction and we cannot register or gazette a facility that is not complete in terms of construction. view
• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to give the position of the Ministry, which is that we are supporting this Bill. Before I go into one or two areas that I wanted to touch on, it will also be prudent, appropriate and proper for me to also congratulate Dr. Ojiambo, for the efforts and the persistence she has put in, so that this Bill has seen the light of day and now it is in its Second Reading Stage. I know that she has received a lot of input from the Ministry of Health and many other professionals ... view
• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Ngere, Otacho, Ombo Mbita and Ngodhe dispensaries are among the 600 dispensaries constructed through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF)/community efforts which my Ministry is going to gazette and operationalise. (b) Rongo Sub-District Hospital and other hospitals of its level will be supplied with ambulances when my Ministry has adequate funds. At the moment, the Ministry is in the process of allocating new ambulances to provincial and district hospitals. Later, the sub-district hospitals will be considered for allocation including Rongo Sub-District Hospital. However, Rongo Sub-District Hospital does not have an ambulance but currently ... view
• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the 115 ambulances which will be flagged off on 4th December, 2006, by His Excellency the President are all destined to go to provincial and district hospitals. Their names have already been written on them. I will instruct the District Medical Officer of Health to give the one they are using to Rongo Sub-District Hospital once the district hospital gets a new ambulance. view
• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought I made myself very clear. All the provincial and district hospitals in this country will each get an ambulance. The extra ones will go to faith- based hospitals in the country. view
• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not think I really understand what the hon. Member is asking. One of the things we are very proud of in the Ministry of Health at the moment is that we have equipped all our dispensaries that are already registered. We supply them with drugs regularly and we are now employing health workers and we will post them to those hospitals. One of the success stories about this Government is that most dispensaries and health centres are operational. We reduced the charges to dispensaries to only Kshs10 because we know our people are poor. The ... view
• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Yes, I am in order, because I know what is available on the ground. I know that we have now employed health workers, though not enough and we have sent them to all our dispensaries and health centres that are registered. view
• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member has my permission and I will also call the District Medical Officer of Health and instruct him as such. view
• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to also say one or two words about the Energy Bill. Before I start my substantive comments, I would like at this stage to congratulate the Ministry of Energy for what they have done so far. One of the things that we are seeing in this country is that we have the REP that is virtually working in every constituency. For that, I would like to congratulate the Ministry. I also would like to congratulate my friend, Mr. Murungi, for having gone through very difficult times, and now ... view
