• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Well, this is a matter of public interest. It is about the disobedience to court orders as a set, but a sub-set specifically on Dr. Miguna Miguna’s treatment last night. He is now in Dubai, sick, drugged, very unstable and stateless at the same time. I need this House to ventilate on this most fundamental subject. I need your guidance because I have not seen it anywhere and yet, I had made a letter to the Clerk and the Hon. Speaker of this Assembly. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party is right… view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for your indulgence. Mine is regarding a letter that I sent to your office this morning pertaining to a quest to adjourn the House and delve into a matter of great national importance which is about disobedience to court orders by certain Government agencies together with illegal deportation of my constituent, Dr. Miguna Miguna. I seek your guidance to this subject. That is why I have interjected to get clarification because I cannot see it in the Order Paper. Thank you. view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose this Report. This Report is a testament which captures more of the symptoms affecting Kenyatta National Hospital than going deep to the trigger factors for reasons best known to the Committee. view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it quite absurd from the Report that an MRI machine has been dysfunctional since 2016. This is a very important medical equipment that is meant to detect the soft tissue condition of a patient within a health facility. No reason has been given to us as to why it has not been working for those many years. Even if the parts that had issues were to be imported from as far as Honolulu in the US, it would not take two years to get here. Even if it will be procured from an antipode, which is ... view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Victims were captured talking about this issue and the Committee never thought it wise to reach out to the victims for them to be witnesses or even to swear affidavits. All of us understand that sworn affidavits are equal to evidence, but that was not looked into by this Committee. You ask yourself why the rush to bring a report before this House. They also say that the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has been mandated to look in depth into this report and the issue surrounding rape but, here they are, with their Report. Why rush if the DCI ... view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: in the name of a report. view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: When you go to a seminar deep in my village, you will be given a name tag, which you will have to put it around your neck 24/7 as long as the seminar/workshop or conference is still on. I wonder why a health facility of the magnitude of KNH still has an issue of labelling to the extent that a wrong patient is taken through surgery. That is quite absurd. We must up our game 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
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: and do what is right. Kenyatta National Hospital is not an ordinary village hospital. It is a national referral hospital. So, you must ask yourself whether there is a reporting channel between KNH and the Ministry of Health. In the absence of such a channel, then that is a very harsh indictment on the conduct of the Ministry of Health. If there are reporting channels, then somebody at the top echelons of the Ministry of Health must be held responsible. Just this week, we heard about MPs who have signed a petition to send the Health CS home. I do ... view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: We need to know who is going to take responsibility at KNH. Quickly passing the buck to the hospital’s Board of Management is not going to address the fundamental issues bedevilling that facility. Also, victimising an individual in the name of a CEO is not going to address the fundamental issues. Therefore, the Ministry of Health, together with KNH, must find a working formula that will serve this country better. We also must revisit the issue of remuneration. If you want to motivate personnel, they have to be paid well. We have been treated to strike after strike year after ... view
