• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Health:- (a) if she is aware that Gitare, Kigaa and Mukuuri dispensaries whose construction and equipment were fully funded by Runyejes Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) Committee have been operational since 2005, but are yet to be gazetted; and, (b) if the answer to (a) above is in the affirmative, when the Ministry will gazette the dispensaries. view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very satisfied with the answer by the Assistant Minister. I am looking forward to seeing the gazettement next week. Members of Parliament, including myself, have put up more dispensaries this year and we would encourage the Assistant Minister to consider a third lot of gazettement so that even those additional dispensaries are gazetted before September, 2007. view
• 14 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Health:- (a) if she is aware that lack of a mortuary at Runyenjes Sub-District Hospital August 14, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3137 is inconveniencing residents of Runyenjes and Kyeni Divisions who are forced to take the remains of their relatives to either Embu Provincial General Hospital or privately run mission hospitals at a high price; and, (b) when she will operationalize the newly built mortuary at Runyenjes Sub- District Hospital, which has been fully funded by Runyenjes Constituency Development Committee. view
• 14 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very impressed by the answer given by the Assistant Minister. I will only make one special request that when this equipment is being delivered, as he said, by the end of August, he should do it himself or send a competent officer like the Embu Medical Officer of Health. This is because the Ministry has a habit of sending vehicles, equipment and medicine through an aspiring candidate, which is politicising the delivery of goods and services in my constituency. view
• 14 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have no problem with employees delivering medicine or equipment, but I get concerned when the Ministry sends people who are aspiring for the Runyenjes Constituency seat and yet they are not employees of the Ministry of Health. That was my concern. So, I will be quite happy if the Ministry will send competent employees of the Ministry to deliver this equipment and vehicles to our health facilities in the constituency. view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Agriculture:- (a) how much money has been released to date for lending to coffee farmers under the Coffee Development Fund; and, (b) what the interest rate to the coffee farmers and the repayment period is. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very grateful. I was held up in a traffic jam. view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: My apologies, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, farmers support Coffee Development Fund. We have also supported it through Motions and debates. I am grateful to the Assistant Minister for finally fulfilling the farmers wishes. But we have heard that the interest rate is ten per cent per 2884 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 1, 2007 view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: . That is very high, indeed, and the repayment period is only 12 months. That is only one coffee season. Could the Assistant Minister consider lowering the interest rate to 5 per cent and increase the repayment period to three years? view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister does not need to reinvent the wheel. We have a very effective model. Could he model the Coffee Development Fund (CODEF) along the STABEX funds whereby the terms are very favourable to the farmers? The interest rate is 5 per cent, and the repayment period is three years for individual borrowing. This is because CODEF is asking farmers to team up into ten members, but that is not necessary. view
