• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, my amendment was supposed to be debated yesterday but we ran out of time. I spoke to it even when I was making my contributions to the Report. Hon. Speaker, I would really appreciate your intervention on the matter. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My card had a technical fault which should be dealt with. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I thank you for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this very important, if not critical Report. It is my view that it is overly cautious. It is afraid of stepping on people’s feet or toes. It will not go far enough. Nonetheless, I thank the Departmental Committee on Health for the effort they have put in which has given us a basis for discussing this very important matter. People have asked why we have not praised KNH. In my orientation as a representative of the people, I speak for the masses. If there is an issue ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Senior doctors and Members of the Departmental Committee on Health alluded to the fact that we are dealing with a much bigger problem. We are dealing with a failing health system. If we do not address it now, we will deal with a completely collapsed health system not only at KNH, but also at our referral facilities in the counties, dispensaries and Level 3 hospitals. I speak as a trained health management specialist at graduate level. So, I am truly passionate about the subject that we are addressing today. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: If you permit my amendment, I would like to propose an amendment that this matter is beyond what the Departmental Committee on Health has squeezed it into. This is a matter which we must have a national conversation on. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have proposed it to the Clerks-at-the-Table. I do not know whether it will be accepted. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Much obliged, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My own projection is that we must deal with this matter holistically. We must have a national conversation around our healthcare system and whether it is working or not. If it is not working, we should identify what is working and what is not working and how this issue can be addressed. This is a matter that can be spearheaded by the Departmental Committee on Health of this Parliament. It should bring together stakeholders like the governors, the Senate Health Committee, the Ministry of Health and everybody else on board, so that we can ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: We must also be honest with ourselves. We cannot have our cake and eat it. If we want to deal with matters of healthcare, we must deal with them irrespective of whether it is your first cousin, relative, wife or husband who is involved. We cannot deal with it as long as we still have the mentality of this is my tribe and person. I was away when the Motion against the Cabinet Secretary, Ms. Sicily Kariuki, was brought. I do not understand how it came to that because the CS told Madam Koros to step aside for investigations to ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The reason why I said that this Report is overly cautious is because I do not see an indictment on the Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI) over the matter of the investigation on allegations of sexual assault at KNH. I do not buy the idea that these things did not occur because nobody reported sexual assault officially. I do not agree with that, because I personally went to KNH together with other women legislators who I can see here and we spoke to the patients. While we were speaking to them, we saw people who are afraid to express themselves ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: relationship with the people involved. We cannot continue to take matters as lightly as we are taking them. I expected to see that indictment here. view
