• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Under Head 317, District Health Services, again, there is Item 3110200, Construction of Building, and the next, Item 3110300, Refurbishment of Buildings, where Kshs120 million has been allocated. I want to know what these buildings are. If it is in Kakamega District, I want to know where it is. I am concerned 3008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 7, 2007 that my area is being ignored when I sit here. I am one of the few hon. Members in the Opposition, trying to approve this Budget for the Ministry, which is ignoring our areas. This ... view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to refer the Minister to page 305, Head 510 - Kenya Expanded Programme on Immunization. I believe that all the Items under this Head are applicable. You notice that all the Heads, including--- view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would plead that the hon. Members on the Government side, who are not interested in what we are doing, consult quietly. view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if I may add, the most important duty of a Member of Parliament is to represent his people in this House. There is no taxation without representation. This is the very important job we are doing. So, they should listen! Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, under the Head I have referred to, virtually all the provision - under Item 2210300, Domestic Travel and Subsistence other Transportation Costs; Item 2210500, Printing, Advertising and Information Supplies and Services; Item 2210700, Training Expenses, among others - except for Item 2211000, Specialised Materials and Supplies, where there is a ... view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. The Minister has not taken up my query with regard to the safety of the vaccines in use, noting that most of those vaccines come from foreign countries, and that in those same foreign countries, their veracity and safety has been questioned by medical experts. In other words, are we safe in procuring these vaccines? I wish our people could be protected. view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. My clarification from the Minister is on the entire Sub-Vote 113 - Rural Health Services. The Minister knows that we have constructed many dispensaries and health centres through the CDF. We were promised that some of those dispensaries will be gazetted. I hope they are being gazetted. They are still lying idle. They are political--- They are going to be like a bomb in future! We have got facilities that are not manned and equipped. I want the Minister to assure me that, under this general Item, she has provided for all those ... view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the Minister missed the clarification that I wanted. I wanted a clarification to the extent that, although they have been gazetted, there is no staff on the ground. The Ministry has not taken over those facilities. In fact, the CDF is still guarding them at our own cost. There is no staff. There is no equipment. So, even drugs would not apply because those things are just there as white elephants. view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, again, a very quick one because the Minister is very co-operative. On page 308, Head 340, Kenya Medical Training Centre, there is Item 2210700, Training Expenses. Although there was no provision for this last year, there is a provision this year; of Kshs49 million. My concern, and I would like to raise it on behalf of my constituents who have many complaints, is that there is some sort of discrimination when it comes to recruitment of trainees. I want the Minister to specifically comment on this matter as we approve this Vote. She should assure ... view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if you allow me, please, I think it is still not very clear. view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, when you say "Training Expenses" - I am a student of literature in English - it actually means, training expenses and not building or construction or purchase of equipment for training. So, what are these training expenses? If it is about buildings, say so, and then put it under buildings. We cannot, as Parliament, pass something which is not clear. It is incongruous! This is not clear to me! view
