• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question of equipment and drugs to health centres and dispensaries in this country is an urgent one. Is the Assistant Minister aware that majority of Kenyans are poor and that they are the ones who use dispensaries and health centres?

Why is the Assistant Minister not allowing these dispensaries and health centres to be available to patients who cannot travel far when he knows that he does not have enough funds to purchase equipment November 21, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3781 ... view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister tell the House whether he has a similar programme for the road between Gilgil and Kisumu?

• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to request the Minister to scrap the vetting process at the national level and re-assign the vetting at the district level, or wherever it is, because the issuance of passports is not only important to the Somalis and the people of the North Eastern Province, but also to some of us who live on the border, like in Busia. The DCs, chiefs and assistant chiefs do a thorough job and they issue identity cards and birth certificates to these people before they come to apply for passports. Is it in order for them ... view
