• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, although we said that some of the facilities that we have were built through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), there are so many of them that are not operational and that is because we lack nurses and clinical officers. So, I believe this Motion will go a long way to help us have all those clinical officers in our areas. You also realise that Kenya is not lacking in trained clinical officers. We have enough and that is why most hon. Members have been talking about migration by qualified clinical officers and nurses to other countries. ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, just a few weeks ago we witnessed how some clinical officers were being frustrated and some of them were even wondering what was happening in our hospitals. We saw people dying in emergency wards especially at the Kenyatta National Hospital because nobody was attending to them or maybe, they were The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: being attended to but due to lack of facilities, their lives could not be saved. I think if this Motion is put in the right perspective and brought as a Bill--- I think we need to support it so that we can save the lives in most of the areas. We are not only seeing this in the urban areas, but the situation that we have in the local areas and especially the constituencies and ward levels is so pathetic. Most of the areas do not have good infrastructure. People who want to access medical services cannot access them unless ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to support the Motion, as amended. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First, I stand to support the Motion, especially because it touches majorly on an area which is very dear to all of us in this country. I also support the Motion as amended majorly because the Mover had indicated quite a number of clinical officers and nurses, but the amendment by hon. Sang’ has created a situation where we can have additional nurses and clinical officers. As I speak, in many parts of this country, there is a huge shortage of medical personnel. There is a shortage of nurses, ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, most health centres are poorly staffed. Many health facilities have less than one clinical officer and,, in some areas, especially a case of my constituency, we have only five trained clinical officers who are not employed. So, you realise this is a crisis that needs to be seriously looked into by the Government. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Secondly, we also need to have additional health facilities so that when we are looking at how much money we are putting in the counties, and especially on the amendment by hon. Sang, we need to have enough resources. Those resources will not only cater for the recruitment and employment of those health nurses or clinical officers, but we should also look at how we equip those facilities so that the facilities that we have in those particular constituencies are properly equipped. Some of them are not functioning because they are not equipped. Some of them are functioning but do ... view

• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was just strolling around and I realized that you have noted my machine was calling; thank you for that chance. I rise to support this Motion. view
• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to say that I rise to support this particular Motion because the question of health in this country has been a serious issue. So many people of late have been affected by cancer and it seems like not so many people are acquainted with knowledge on how it is supposed to be diagnosed and how it is supposed to be treated. So, I believe that if we all agree on this Motion that we need to have centers in our counties which can look into this problem facing many people, I think it is ... view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. I would like to thank the leaders in this House for the arguments they have advanced. We have been having a standoff in this House. I remember the last Bill we had here; we passed it in the plenary. We were quite raw when we were discussing it. I believe the committees which have been formed will be effective in --- view

First, I would like to congratulate you for occupying the third-most powerful office of the land. Congratulations! I would also like to thank the people of Emurua Dikirr, who took their time to make me their first Member of Parliament. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to congratulate the President for their success and for giving this House and the whole nation a Speech and policies, which we believe can enable this nation to prosper. I would like to quote what my colleague, hon. Nyiva Mwendwa said, ... view
