• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important vote. view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: I stand to support this Motion. This Ministry is very much under-funded. The Ministry was allocated only Kshs13 billion which is a drop in the ocean. As you realise in our country today, medical services require much more than what has been budgeted. It is also important that the little money the Ministry received is utilized efficiently and effectively, so that services can reach mwananchi. For instance in my constituency, through the CDF, we managed to put up more than 15 dispensaries. Up to date, not even a single dispensary has been given staff. So, those projects meant to give ... view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for many years, the Ministry of Health has been given a raw deal through budgetary allocations. Every time somebody talks, they refer to obsolete equipment, especially in the laboratory, x-rays, dispensaries and lack of heart machines. It is very important that this Ministry should be given money. At least in every district hospital, we require equipment which can reduce referrals to provincial hospitals or to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). For example, KNH is an institution which should be supported fully. It should be a referral centre in our region for two reasons. Nairobi is a hub ... view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other thing that I would like to comment on is the expansions of district and provincial hospitals. It is important that we look at health in totality. We need not refer people all the way from Kisumu to Nairobi. The Kisumu Provincial Hospital should have specialized medical equipment. view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, since there is nobody standing, may I just complete in one minute. view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: It is important that we support this Ministry. With those few remarks, I support. view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleague, Mr. Chachu for bringing this very important Motion. view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important for our country to plan to support or save our citizens. It is high time that we had an authority in this country to look into critical issues including disaster management so that we can plan and be proactive. My colleague, Mr. Chachu, has proposed the establishment of the Drought Management Authority, under the Ministry of State for Development of Northern Kenya and other Arid Lands. That Authority is very important. You will realise that for several years, beginning from the 1990s, we have had a circle of long spell of drought. ... view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the people of Kajiado where I come from are suffering from famine. I urge the Government to ensure that food security for those people is guaranteed because the situation is grave. The Government should also move with speed and address the famine situation not only in Kajiado but also in other parts of Kenya. The situation is grave and it requires attention by the Government. I would like the Government to set aside funds and fund critical Ministries well. The other Government money should be channeled towards saving Kenyans. We need the proposed Authority because ... view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. I would like to thank the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) for bringing this Report to the House. As you realize, this is a Report for the year 2004/2005. Indeed, this Report covers the time of Anglo Leasing Scandal. We, therefore, would have expected that in the recommendations, those problems should have been highlighted so that we know how this country lost resources. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, during the period covered by this Report, corruption and impunity was at its highest level. Misuse of ... view
