• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me time to contribute to this important Motion. First, I rise to support this Motion not because I fear of being accused, but because I feel this is a reasonable and palatable illegality. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, over the weekend, I visited one of the wards in Kisii Level 5 Hospital and it was despicable. Three patients were sharing one bed. Imagine that is a Level 5 hospital. That hospital serves Kisii, Nyamira, Migori, Homa The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Bay, Bomet and Narok counties. It even extends to some parts of Tanzania. It also serves even Kericho County as my colleague has informed me. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I called my Governor to come and see the condition of that ward and he told me that he is even more scared because the conditional funds that we are giving them had been withdrawn. So, it was a very positive step taken by this Committee to reinstate the-- - view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my good friend from my previous provincial headquarters has not gone through the financial records. Actually, until it was reinstated by the Mediation Committee, there was no conditional grant to Level 5 hospitals. There were some funds last year but, in this year’s Budget, before this Mediation Committee came in, there were no conditional grants to Level 5 hospitals. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, so now that the conditional grants have been brought back, and I wish I knew how many Level 5 hospitals we have got in the country, I will propose that you pump a lot of money out of that Kshs1.8 billion – maybe, Kshs300 million or Kshs400 million - to Kisii Hospital and reserve some Kshs200 million to be allocated as follows: Kshs100 million to Kericho and another Kshs100 million to Homa Bay to start building their own Level 5 hospitals. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I know we have had a problem with the Senate and, unfortunately, most Members of the Senate were Members of this House. They are the ones who crafted the Constitution which they are now trying to defy. However, be that as it may, with those mediation committees, it looks like we can move ahead and serve the people of Kenya. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish this House had approved the proposal by the Departmental Committee on Health that Level 3 and above hospitals be national hospitals and anything below be county hospitals. I know there are many people here who will say that we will be in a sense destroying the counties. No. We want to give them functions that they can serve our people effectively. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, just imagine if we gave our counties the minimum 15 per cent as required by the Constitution. Even if they shared it equally, then each county will get less than 0.4 per cent of our Budget. Would that cater for everything? Do they have the capacity to provide some of those services? view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if we were to adopt that proposal, it would be good. It does not require a referendum. I know my friends here want a referendum without seriously thinking about its cost. It is going to cost us Kshs15 billion to do a referendum. If we gave Kshs5 billion to this friend of mine here, then Turkana County The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
