• 30 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have factored our request in our Vote, but the only amount available was enough to recruit the 800 nurses. view
• 28 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware. (b) My Ministry has already identified a driver to be deployed in Ruiri Health Centre immediately. view
• 28 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already indicated that we have identified a 3026 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 28, 2008 driver. In fact, I want to assure the hon. Member that, in the next three weeks, the driver will be there. view
• 28 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have already identified a driver from another area and we hope that he will hand over as soon as possible. I have already indicated that, nevertheless, the driver will be there in not more than three weeks from now. view
• 28 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are lacking drivers at the moment. In fact, you will realise that we took ten years without employing any driver. Therefore, suffice it to say that we have identified a driver to be deployed to Ruiri Health Centre in the next three weeks. view
• 28 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said that the problem of lack of drivers is not only in the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation. The problem of lack of drivers is in most of the Ministries. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not only Ruiri Health Centre that has a vehicle or an ambulance without a driver. In fact, in my own constituency, we have two health centres which have vehicles, but no drivers. We shall continue to employ drivers as and when funds become available and post them to the various health centres. view
• 28 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is our hope in the Ministry that every health centre will have an ambulance. Unfortunately, we had good partners who gave us these vehicles before we employed the drivers. It is our responsibility now, as the Government, to speed up the process of employing drivers for all these health centres. view
• 28 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, we have been borrowing a driver from the area District Officer (DO) to transport patients to the hospital. In the next three weeks, we will continue using the same remedy until we post a driver to the health centre. view

• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with the hon. Member that it is the responsibility of the Government to provide health services to every Kenyan in this country. There is no doubt about that. As a Ministry, we have tried to post nurses to the North Eastern part of this country but, unfortunately, they have been resigning but we have not stopped doing the same. We are, in fact, in the process of recruiting nurses in the very near future and I think I have discussed this with the Minister of State for Public Service so that we ... view
