• 31 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I will make the corrections that the Member of Parliament who is my friend has proposed. Secondly, this year the Ministry of Health got 9 per cent of the total Budget. In order for us to be able to optimally function, we need at least 15 per cent. The 600 facilities that we will open and operationalise are scattered throughout the country. The Ministry has trained enough health workers in this country. The problem has been employing them because we need funds to do that. We have had to go to donors to enable ... view

• 31 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to concur with what you have said. We, as the Ministry of Health, have severally asked the House Business Committee to list the Tobacco Control Bill on the Order Paper. But for some strange reasons, it has not been listed on the Order Paper. We are ready to move that Bill. So, really the problem is not with the Ministries because we are ready to move that Bill! view
• 25 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that, currently, Loitokitok Sub-District Hospital has 12 clinical officers. Five of them have gone to attend post-basic training at the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), and will be back early next year. The hospital has also five medical officers who should cover both the wards and out-patient services. (b) My Ministry has, in the meantime, posted two clinical officers by the names, Levy Obure and Lordwin Chivia Mwembe, to the sub-district hospital. view
• 25 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I share the concerns of the hon. Member. But the information that we have in the Ministry shows that, that sub-district hospital has 12 clinical officers. So, if five have gone for training, there are seven who are still there. I would like to confirm that the two clinical officers who have been posted to Loitokitok Sub-District Hospital, although they will go through the District Medical Officer of Health, are specifically designated to go to the sub-district hospital. view
• 25 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is our wish to comply with that standard in every dispensary, health centre, sub-district hospital, district hospital and provincial hospital. But we have a serious shortage of health workers. I hope the House will appreciate the environment that we are working in. We do not have enough health workers to adequately serve all our health facilities in the country. view

• 25 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this very important Motion, which seeks to look into the interests of the marginalised and very poor people in our society. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you know, poverty is an area that this Government and the previous regimes have not tackled properly. As of now, an average of 60 per cent of our people live in absolute poverty. As the Mover of the Motion has said, poverty has taken the face of a woman. That is why in many places, you find that the majority of hawkers are women. ... view
