• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the House appreciates how difficult it is to answer a Question like this one. On that particular day, there was only one patient who was unidentified. That patient eventually passed away on the 21st May, which is about four days later. We are not aware of the patient that the hon. Member is talking about. The way the story is flowing--- view
• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that really, is the dilemma that I also find myself in. On this particular day, there was only one patient who went to the Coast General Hospital who was unidentified. This is the patient we struggled to treat, but eventually passed away on 21st of May. I am totally unaware of the patient the hon. Member is talking about. view
• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to say the following about all hospitals in the country, and not just the Coast General Hospital. view
• 6 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have listened very carefully and most hon. Members are repeating themselves. I think the House has unanimously agreed on this Bill. Would I be in order to request you to call upon the Mover to reply? view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Hamisi, Seremi, Banje, Shiru, Tigoi and Likindu health centres have no ambulance to serve referral patients at the moment. (b) Hamisi Health Centre will be considered together with other health centres on each facility-priority basis to be allocated ambulances in the current financial year; that is 2006/2007. Currently, there is an ambulance at Vihiga District Hospital which can be used to transport patients from Hamisi, Seremi, Banje, Shiru, Tigoi and Likindu health centres wherever there is need. view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know that the problem of lack of ambulances throughout the country is big. This year, the Ministry will buy enough ambulances and donate, at least, one per district. As far as Vihiga District is concerned, the priority areas are Tiriki East and Tiriki West divisions. Those divisions will be considered for the allocation of ambulances when we buy some this year. view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member for Juja 100 per cent. That is an excellent idea. We shall discuss with the Ministry of Finance and see how best this can be done. However, on our own, as I have said, we will buy, at least, one ambulance for every district in the country this year. That will go a long way towards easing the problem of lack of ambulances in the country. view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what the hon. Member has said is true. We have acquired equipment worth about Kshs1 billion. At the Ministry, we do not recognise constituencies but districts. We will distribute the equipment to every district in the country. July 5, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1847 view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought I made it very clear that we will allocate one ambulance per district. So, every district will receive one ambulance. You can take that from me and you can also take it to the bank. view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want your guidance on an issue. When the Assistant Minister was answering the supplementary question by hon. Muiruri, hon Muiruri himself walked out of the House before the Assistant Minister finished July 5, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1851 answering it. Could you give us guidance on hon. Members asking questions and then walking out in the middle of answers to their questions? view
