• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Access to high attainable standards of healthcare is a constitutional right for Kenyans and the national referral hospitals are at the apex of our healthcare system. I would like to thank the Committee for the comprehensive Report which has helped us appreciate the challenges faced by the five referral hospitals: Kenyatta National Hospitals Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Kenyatta University Teaching and Referral Hospital, the Spinal Injury Referral Hospital and Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital. view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I would like to make a few comments on Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital because it is a very special hospital. It is the only referral hospital that caters for people with mental challenges, including convicts and those charged in law courts and their mental state is probably not okay for them to be tried. Unfortunately, according to the Report, it happens to be the most neglected national referral hospital. It is very unfortunate that from the Report, it has indicated that the budget allocation to Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital has been on the decline. For instance, ... view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: In the meantime, I strongly support the Committee’s recommendation which speaks to Government agencies using Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital facilities. These The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: are the Judiciary and the Department of Correctional Services. In the long run it is important, as recommended in the Report the Prison Department be supported to establish mental units in maximum security prisons rather than taking mentally ill convicts to Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital. Before that happens, probably in the coming year, through gazettement the Department of Correctional Services should be allowed to gazette the maximum security ward in Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital as part of our prison or remand system so that it allows them to provide budgetary support to the Hospital. It is ... view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: The National Spinal Injury Referral Hospital began as a hospital which took care of survivors of the Second World War in a house donated by a good samaritan. Unfortunately, as a nation we have not invested in expanding the facility. We are told it occupies a very small piece of land and we needed to know how small. If need be the NLC and the national Government can provide adequate space, if the current location is not sufficient for expansion. They can cater for the increasing number of patients across the country suffering from spinal injuries and require specialised care. ... view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: To add to what others have said, we need referral hospitals to be distributed evenly across the country. The Ministry of Health should work with our county governments and setup national teaching and referral hospitals in all the former provinces. For example, we can have one in Garissa, Mombasa and the one in Kisumu can be upgraded to a national referral hospital. We also need one for upper eastern, for example, in a place like Isiolo to serve Marsabit, Moyale, Samburu and other parts of upper eastern. view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the adoption of this Report. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to speak to this amendment. It is a very significant amendment, although it only relates to one section of the Laws of Contract Bill. I would like to thank Hon. Waititu for bringing this amendment. We are a borrowing nation. At one time or another we borrow from various lending institutions such as commercial banks and cooperative societies for various reasons such as personal development and emergencies. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Most of the time, it is a requirement by the lender for a borrower to have people guarantee their applications. When we guarantee borrowers we do it in good faith, but from time to time various Kenyans who have guaranteed applications of their fellow Kenyans for loans have been exposed to many risks. This amendment is meant to cushion guarantors from this risk. We have had situations where borrowers have had their assets auctioned to recover bad loans by principal borrowers. We have also had situations where cooperative shares of guarantors have been used to offset bad loans. So, this ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I am sure if they were keen enough they will find that most of the people who have borrowed money from these institutions have assets which can be auctioned to recover the loans which have been defaulted. Therefore, this amendment is very timely and will help many Kenyans against the risk of losing their properties and their assets as a result of being guarantors. view
