• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, power blackouts are not peculiar to Machakos area. It is happening almost all over Kenya. The Assistant Minister has said that there is a new law that will help protect our transformers and bring vandalism of electricity lines in the country to an end. Has he started using that law? view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Medical Services:- (a) whether he is aware that medical staff at Migori District Hospital denied emergency medical treatment to an abandoned new born baby and instead referred the good Samaritan who was with the baby to Kisii Level Five Hospital on 6th April 2012; and, (b) what measures he has put in place to ensure that medical staff at the facility perform their assigned duties with diligence; especially after the Government and development partners have spent millions of shillings to upgrade the hospital to its current status for the benefit of the community. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I quite accept the Assistant Minister’s response. However, this was a very serious case. This was a baby that was abandoned by the mother and a Good Samaritan came about and decided to rescue the baby. If you look at the records of the baby from the hospital at that time, they state that the baby was hypothermic with maggots coming out of the ears, nose and mouth; a baby who is hardly three days. Here is a case where he was transferred to Kisii Level Five Hospital, which is over 60 kilometers. The Good ... view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in his reply, the Assistant Minister concedes that this particular hospital does not have enough staff. He said that the hospital suffers shortage of staff. Actually, they claim that they lack seven nurses. Could the Assistant Minister undertake and promise me in this House and other Kenyans that when they do the recruitment, they will consider Migori District Hospital for seven nurses in the new recruits? view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I quite agree with the Minister that we must rely on these loans because of former mismanagement of our economy. But I would like the Minister to tell this House and Kenyans whether out of these projects cited here, some have actually stalled and failed. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the Floor to speak on this Motion. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Members have had enough time in this House. We have been away from our constituencies for a long time. If it is that deliberating on the two Bills tomorrow can enable Members to go home, I support the Motion. view
• 26 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister seems to have a very good vision for Nairobi City. However, for us to accept that, could he tell us what he has in terms of finances to implement this programme? view
• 26 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to add my voice to what most hon. Members have said. I think we are very lucky that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is now recognized by the Constitution and now it will have to play the independent role that we require for the management of teachers affairs in this country the way it should be. From the start, the TSC must take into consideration certain issues that have created a lot of problems currently and in the past. One of them is the way they have been handling teachers. We know that in all ... view
• 26 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have the issue of early childhood education. For those of us who have been teachers, we know very well that when children go to school at an early age, that is the time they benefit most from the education curriculum but at the moment, the Ministry has not been taking the early childhood education seriously. We want the Ministry together with the TSC to consider this area so that teachers who are going to handle these young children are properly trained and given the right salary that can motivate them to work hard. I know that ... view
