• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, health care in this nation, as Hon. Pukose has just said, is very critical but for a long time, we have had problems. I have produced clinical officers being a trainer at the Nakuru Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) and lately at the Kapkatet Medical Training College before I was elected to this House. I want to assure this House that we have trained very competent clinical officers and nurses at the Kapkatet Medical Training College and I know they are offering services wherever they are. For a very long time, if you look at ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: When I was campaigning, I met a mother who had retained a placenta and instead of continuing with my campaigns, I had to do something and I realized that we have problems in our rural areas. Most of the facilities that have been constructed in this country, probably with the aid of the CDF and other Government institutions, have a number of staff. There are services for which people do not need to go to district hospitals or Level 4 of Level 5 hospitals. A number of services can be provided in Level 2 and Level 3 hospitals. There is ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when it comes to issues of prevention, the Jubilee Government had promised and I saw the other day that they have already started rolling out free maternity services. They say that these services should be free and I must say here that delivery is just one of the events; they say pregnancy is a process. In pregnancy, they say that it must be monitored from the time of conception to the time of delivery. We have a good number of investigations that have been done to actually ensure that these pregnancies go to delivery without ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: So, if all these services can be offered at the dispensary and health centre levels, then it will be good. I want to say that clinical officers and nurses can actually provide these services so that we take services closer to the people instead of patients travelling all the way from their rural areas seeking treatment for very simple ailments. I also want to say, if time allows, that we also have other healthcare workers who have done records management, for example. The Jubilee Government is ready to give pupils computers but I am saying we can also implement Information ... view

• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion, as amended by Hon. Anyango. I want to support this Motion; it is very surprising that in the 21st Century we are seeing a good number of Kenyans dying of some of the conditions that can be managed. It is very surprising that 22,000 Kenyans have died of cancer and another 2,912 people of diabetes. Most of these conditions, as has been said by some hon. Members, are actually preventable. Types of cancer like the cervical, breast, stomach, esophagus and others can actually be ... view
