• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Sen. Haji for the answers that he gave in response to this problem. As my colleague put it, it is not only in Trans Nzoia County, but there are pockets of problems scattered across the country with regard to insecurity. It looks like we are still handling things the way we were doing before. If you listened to the Statement, the Chairman said that the mobile numbers of police officers have been given to raia . He also said that police vehicles that have always been sung about are going to be ... view

• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for that. But I wanted to mention that the Chairman is giving us the usual answers. Could he go back and come with proper--- view

• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to join my colleagues to thank Sen. Catherine Mukite for bringing this Motion that looks at some issues that we have heard related to the health sector. We know the three pillars of Vision 2030. These are the economic, social and the political pillars. Under the social pillar, the health and education sectors are anchored there. You will recall in 1960s, when we got our Independence, the rallying call for the leaders at that time was that we needed to eliminate three enemies; namely, poverty, diseases and ignorance. During campaigns, anybody ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: arises when our health sector and hospitals are under stocked, in terms of equipment. If you visit dispensaries, you will find a nurse in charge of the centre. Sometimes, you will find a health centre that serves a whole constituency or division. This one human being in the remotest part of Kenya is expected to handle all manner of diseases and to serve people without any equipment. I think we will be asking too much of the medical professionals we have around. As a country, we must put our priorities right. Two years ago, I visited Kapenguria County Hospital and ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, in line with this, when the Motion proposes to establish a public health complaints board, you will have all the complaints immediately. But I do not think that even this one needs a law because already the governors have appointed executive officers in charge of health in every county. That officer, who is also a medical professional, can chair this. But the tangible issue that needs to be addressed is whether the money that we have been talking about can go to the counties, so that the right equipment is put in the dispensaries and health centres. ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a hospital in Kacheliba to which for the first time, after 50 years, we were able to send a medical officer last week. What does that mean? It means that we have not been able, as a country, to look at the health issues properly. At the beginning of this year, one was sent to Sigor hospital. This officer in Sigor travels 70 kilometers away to go and serve people. This means that we have now The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: reached a point where we are sending staff but there are no houses for them. Also, like I said, equipment and ambulances are not there. We have a very interesting story in Kapenguria, where we have one ambulance which is very old and “sick.” Whenever it transports a patient from Kapenguria to Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, the number of breakdowns between Kapenguria and Eldoret are uncountable. We have lost people in the process because a sick person is supposed to be transported quite fast. Some of those old vehicles need to be grounded as fast as possible, ... view
