• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: When we have an important question like this one before us, the Leader of Majority Party and the face of the Government cannot incite people leading to that question. Whether you agree with me or not, that was the problem and hon. Duale must from now on be responsible and lead this country in a manner that has integrity and responsibility. view
• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: In fact, we should name him! view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you. What is burning is that I am thankful for the detailed criterion that has been given. But there is one point that is not clear to me. It includes entry into universities and you have tagged it at C+. Do we have a situation - and what are the solutions - where a university is recognized but the entry requirement is lower than the C+? That way, the student may go to a recognized university but the criteria then imputes an entry requirement that is reduced. That would be important so that there may be ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I think there are two issues. I am glad that this thing that started in the Ministry of Gender when I was there is taking a national outlook. However, is there a policy that is being developed between the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and the Ministry responsible for gender to guide the whole process so that in the end, it is national, is part of the educational system and, therefore, we do not ask those questions? view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Secondly, I think the issue of quality was mentioned, but there is another element of the medical quality. Are we looking at how those items are procured and their safety? That is because sanitary towels, particularly the internal ones, can actually have very The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: severe medical complications that are often not easily traced to that. Where you are going to a mass distribution, even those rare complications should be looked at so that the quality that is given out is important. I seek clarification on those issues. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: First of all, may I appreciate the work of the Mediation Committee. It has given me confidence that this process will help us. Secondly, I support the adoption of this Report and the Bill that has come with it, basically for national reasons; that we must allow the counties to proceed and function. Otherwise if we do not today, then basically we will be stalling the work of the counties. I want just to bring out the third reason that I really support this. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: The other reason is that Sections 4 and 5 are quite in line with the Constitution and I must appreciate the work that has been done by the Mediation Committee and the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Let me talk about Level 5 hospitals. To begin with, I do not know where people got the idea that the Constitution places Level 5 hospitals under the national Government. What the Constitution talks about is national referral hospitals. There is nowhere, as far as I know, either in law or administratively that defines those national referral hospitals. I am aware of this fact ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: billion to Level 5 hospitals and add more which is in the Budget. I do not think we have any other way around it otherwise these levels will grind to a halt. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the next thing I would say is that what we are seeing in level 5 hospitals and in the health sector as a whole is a clear sign of how we are handling devolution. The main problem is that we have not followed the structures and the laws that we put in place for transition. Everybody here has been saying that they do not have the capacity, we should have looked at the capacity, they do not have the staff and we should have looked at the staff. I appeal to Members to take that to ... view
