• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to support this Report with a lot of reservations. I think the Constitution that we have recognizes counties and National Government. I do not think there are issue of provinces and districts. I have not seen it in the Constitution. I come from the largest county - Turkana County - which is 77,000 Km2. It is equal to Nyanza, Central and Mombasa provinces combined. I am perplexed even as we pass this Report. The hospital that is there does not even qualify to be Level 5. When there is a problem in Turkana, patients ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Are we just here to seek for services or just to allocate funds? I think what Kenyans want are services. They are looking for the impact, whether it is in National Government, or county governments. We have to see whatever the funds that we are allocating to those counties have actually realized the right priorities of the citizens.

I think, just to support this Report again, one thing that we are saying is that the Level 5 hospitals belong to specific counties. They belong to those specific counties. The other counties will not have a say over the same Level 5 hospitals. However, I support this Motion because of one thing, which is that those Level 5 hospitals belong to specific counties. However, you as a Member of Parliament, when you are sick, you do not know where you will be admitted. You might try to trace that specific Level 5 hospital ... view

• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was saying that the issue of health is very sensitive. We should not politicise it because life is very important. We all need to live long and that is why we are here. The same applies to other Kenyans out there. So, the Government is supposed to put more funds in the health sector. We should ensure that all the health facilities are well equipped. view
