• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have difficulties in that issue of air ambulance which has been grounded at the police Air Wing, and now requires the same Ministry, which has not been using it for the last 19 years, to use Kshs20 million. Why did you not have that ambulance domiciled to AMREF who seem to have the capacity to do the air ambulances, instead of the Kenya Police? AMREF can maintain it for you and keep it operational. Why do you want to commit public funds to what appears to be a non-rated issue? view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek an urgent Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Medical Services regarding the impending strike by staff at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in his Statement he should confirm why it is only at the KNH where doctors and other staff members have not been paid their commuter allowances compared to other civil servants. view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, sir, secondly, he should explain why the Ministry has allowed the situation to deteriorate to the extent of a go-slow strike, noting that KNH is the largest referral hospital in this region and, especially, noting that, currently, Kenya is involved in a military intervention in a neighbouring country; notwithstanding several homeland threats. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Thursday 12th May, 2011, I raised a Petition on behalf of hon. Martin Shikuku and the late hon. Jean Marie-Seroney and you subsequently ruled and directed that the Petition be committed to the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. He was expected to make a Statement in the House on the Petition within 21 days from the date thereof. It is now 173 days and there is no indication whatsoever that this matter is receiving any attention. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek directions. Although in the past you have ruled that Committees should ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Medical Services:- (a) how many operational air ambulances are in Kenya and whether he could indicate their respective owners, capacity and the evacuation equipment in them; and, (b) how many helicopters the Ministry has in comparison to the Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS), the Kenya Police, the Kenya Army, the Kenya Pipeline and private individuals who lease them for emergency and medical evacuation. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: I do apologize for coming in late and also seek your indulgence to pass my condolences to the families, relatives and friends of two people who were burnt to death last night in Naivasha following a tragic fire accident. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister for an attempt to answer this Question. But even looking at his own answers, there are very serious difficulties in believing that Beech Craft King Air B200 can carry ten passengers. We are not talking about passengers. We are talking about air ambulances. But that notwithstanding, if you look at Helicopter B0-105, why is that not owned by the Ministry of Medical Services? That, to our understanding, is the same helicopter that is used by the Commissioner of Police? Is he confirming that all this equipment--- With your indulgence, this is ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard the Assistant Minister aggravate the situation by admitting that the helicopter in question was a gift. That is true. It was a gift to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and not to his own ministry. Then they decided to take it to the police for servicing. Now, that helicopter has never flown a single patient since it has been grounded almost all the time. The fact is that the Assistant Minister is deliberately trying to mislead this House that we have an ambulance, when the truth is that we ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I take exception to the fact that we are taking this issue lightly here. Anybody, including Members of Parliament and the Speaker of the National Assembly, could be injured - God forbid - and require an ambulance. We have a situation here where the Assistant Minister does not know what equipment is on these air ambulances. Would I be in order to suggest that he goes back, so that he can come here later and, at least, tell us that if you get injured in Tsavo or Naivasha and you require ... view
