• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. My question is on the discrepancies of employing these people.

That is something that the Ministry should look at and amend the Act to allow the Ministry to use the surplus money to make the ... view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at what is happening in provincial and district hospitals; patients are just given prescriptions. They are sent to go and buy the medicine in private pharmacies. This is something that the Ministry should look at very carefully and address it so that patients can get prescription, treatment and medication in the public facilities. Regarding the question of personnel, there is a shortage of doctors. The Minister said that we require about 20,000 doctors. That should be a priority. Most of those funds view

• 18 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has told us that they take into account the issue of population, availability of space and land when establishing police posts. We already have some police posts in Waseges. But if you look at the number of police officers there, they are only three. They have no ability to move around. What is the Assistant Minister going to do to make use of those few police officers who are there to ensure that the problem of cattle rustling is arrested? view
