• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank my colleagues. I know their contributions will go a long way in enriching this Bill. I know during the Committee of the Whole House Stage, we are going to bring some amendments and things will go well. view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Clinical officers in this country are doing a very wonderful job. They are everywhere in this country. They have been helping patients. They have been doing a lot. With this particular law, I know we are going to expand their environment and probably have them help Kenyans access services. Some of my colleagues have mentioned their friends who are clinical officers. Honestly, they are doing well. I also have friends who are clinical officers and I want to appreciate Chris Sang, Irene Mutai, George Lang’at and George Ouma. They are doing very well even as they offer their services in ... view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: University. Others are Frankline Lewa and my teacher, David Njeru. I know they have also gone back to school. They now have PhDs in different programmes. So, clinical officers are now practising. I have already mentioned Chris and Irene. Others are Kamau in Siaya and Muia in Thika who are doing well in health service delivery. view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: On the issue of offensive clauses, for example, Clause 22, I know during the Third Reading, we are going to expunge them and allow clinical officers to practise in a good environment. The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) is the institution that produces clinical officers. I know if we allow more funding to go the KMTC way, it will produce more clinical officers with the competencies to help Kenyans. view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: As I conclude, I hope the good people of Bureti who elected me in 2013, will also re- elect me because I have five more Bills to prosecute. I have the Community Oral Health Bill, the Dental Technology, the Orthotics and Prosthetics Bill, the Orthopaedic Technology Bill and the Plaster Technicians Bill. If they give me another opportunity to serve them, I will be able to prosecute all these Bills so that we help improve the health sector in this country. view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Lastly, on the issue of strikes, this is unfortunate. The ones who are suffering are the poor people. The haves go to private hospitals while the have-nots stay at home without treatment. I hope we are going to sort out the doctors’ strike as early as we can, so that we can help the have- nots in this country to access medical care. view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I hope we will look at the issue of health financing in this country. I hope during my lifetime to see the poor go to hospital like the rich, get treatment and go back home without paying a cent. Yes, we have NHIF, but there have been complaints that the Kshs500 that people are made to pay every month is too high. We hope the Government will come up with a system where it will pay for the services that Kenyans seek in different hospitals, so that the poor can go to hospital, get treatment and go back home. It ... view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I want to finish by thanking my colleagues. We are, most probably, going to enrich this Bill in the Third Reading. We are going to do something so that, at least, we can allow clinical officers to have an environment in which they can help Kenyans. view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I beg to reply. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Clinical Officers (Training, Registration and Licensing) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.27 of 2016) be now read a Second Time. Clinical officers are trained officers who provide general specialised clinical medicine services in hospitals. Those officers trace the medical history of patients and do physical examination. They order for investigations, interpret the same investigations they have ordered and make a diagnosis for treatment of the disease or injury. Those officers routinely perform medical and surgical procedures and refer patients to other practitioners. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
