• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was saying that all medical doctors can do that part of the police work that is required to be done by a police doctor. So, we do not have to employ a medical doctor in every police station. We have three doctors in the police force now. We are not able to have more doctors because the pay outside the police force is more attractive. We do not really need them because even when they are not employed in the police force, they still provide the services. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not say that we do not need them. I said that we do not need them in regular employment. When we need their services we can get them even if they are not directly employed by the police force. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have already explained that it is not that we do not want to September 20, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4061 employ many police doctors. The salary paid by the police is not as attractive as that paid in private practice or in other institutions. Our salaries do not attract as many doctors as we would like to have. However, when we need the services of a doctor, we sometimes get even those who are not in the regular employ of the police. Right now, we have a pathologist who works at Nairobi, a Dr. Zephaniah Kamau, whose ... view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will take the concerns of Dr. Manduku and those raised by other hon. Members, so that we can look at the remuneration due to police officers in order to attract more doctors in the police force. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is no requirement that you must be a police doctor to do that work. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we will investigate that situation. If that is the way it is, we will correct it. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said that Dr. Kamau is a Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police. The Commissioner of Police is appointed by the President. So, it is not my prerogative to appoint him! Mr. Angwenyi: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister consider requesting the Ministry of Health to second doctors to serve in that clinic? He should request the Minister for 4062 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 20, 2007 Health to second doctors to that clinic to do the pathological work. These doctors are paid from public coffers! view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a very good suggestion from hon. Angwenyi, which we will consider. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Bifwoli was basically repeating what Ms. Abdalla had said. I have stated that I will issue that directive. However, I do not think it is in order for him to question the professional integrity of a medical doctor. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware of a police post known as Got Regea. However, I am aware that the structures that had been put up by the Gem CDF, presumably for a police post, have not been September 20, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4063 staffed. (b) I am not aware that Got Regea is a crime-prone area. However, I am aware that the area is situated on the border between Nyanza and Western provinces. I am also aware that since January 2007 to August 2007, only two offences have been reported and have been ... view
