• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, according to the Standing Orders, it is the responsibility of the Government Responder to stand and catch the eye of the Chair. I was on the Chair at that time, and the Chair is always right. Those on the Government side did not rise up. I actually reminded them to do that. Therefore, I do not think the Chair should be blamed for this. We should understand that this is a Motion that the Government agrees to and that a further discussion will take place on the Bill when it is brought to the Floor ... view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I hope that they will take cognisance of the fact that, those who spoke in the morning may have a chance now. view
• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on page 283, Head 310, Item 2211300 is "other operating expenses". Again, the same issue is reflected on Head 311, Item 2211300 - "other operating expenses". This appears to have been duplicated. Could the Minister explain? view
• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am saying that the two Heads; 310 and 311, have a similar item; "other operating expenses". Under Head 310, there is Item 2211300-- - view
• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am raising the question of the fact that there is some sort of duplication and maybe the Minister could explain. view
• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. They all relate to the same item and they are all under Headquarters Administrative Services. So, it is a small explanation that is needed. view
• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on page 283, Head 316, Item 3110300 - Refurbishment of Buildings, I notice that last year we had Kshs96 million but now we have Kshs170 million. Could the Minister confirm that this Kshs170 million includes refurbishment of the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Memorial Hospital or The New Nyanza General Hospital? I notice further ahead in the Vote that there are only three district health facilities which have been allocated money for construction. There is nothing anywhere else in the district. view
• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on page 285, Head 325 on Communicable Diseases Control, I would like the Minister to explain why all Items under that Head, except Item No.2210700, have not been allocated any funds this financial year. We are concerned because tuberculosis is now a very serious threat to our people. I am sure she is well aware of this fact. view
• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the same is reflected under Head 509 on Control of Malaria. Again, there appears to be a reduction under all those Items, from Kshs231,389,136 in the last financial year to Kshs166,257,720 this financial year. We know that the threat of malaria is increasing. Could she explain why there is this reduction? view
• 17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on Head 335 on page 290, Item 3110700, I notice that only Kshs66 million has been allocated for the purchase of vehicles and other transport equipment for rural health centres. We were hoping that, in fact, the Minister would consider equipping some of these facilities that we have now put up under the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) and I believe that,that money is not enough. Could the Minister explain whether she is going to get more funding from other sources including donors? view
