• 31 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute to a very critical Vote that caters for the basic needs. Both cure and prevention of diseases are basic needs. The Ministry has performed very well. It is one of the top performers. We have seen plenty of medical supplies even in CDF dispensaries. To us, that is very commendable. The Ministry continues to attract a lot of donor support which shows that they are doing well. However, the devil is in the details. There are several challenges which face the health sector. I want to ... view
• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very critical Vote of a very critical sector; the infrastructure sector, specifically, the roads sector. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the development of infrastructure is a prerequisite to the development of the economy. We are aware that the most visible feature or mark of development is infrastructure. Backward economies have very poor or few roads, while developed countries have many, very good roads which are well-developed. So, we cannot understate the importance of this Ministry and, especially, the roads sector. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, having made ... view
• 17 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Health:- (a) wether she is aware that Kanja Health Centre has no ambulance; and, (b) when she will provide an ambulance to the health centre. view
• 17 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: I am a bit disappointed with the answer but I do not blame the Assistant Minister. It must be civil servants who are misleading him because Kanja Health Centre is more than 30 kilometres from Embu Provincial General Hospital. So, it is far away. Secondly, the system has not worked well because we have had emergencies and lost two lives because of the distance and lack of ambulance. With that information, could the Assistant Minister reconsider that answer, whereby he says the system has been working because it has not been working? view
• 17 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the local community of Kanja initiated a maternity ward and the Runyenjes CDF has already put enough money. We are completing the maternity ward this month. The European Union are equipping the maternity ward. Could the Assistant Minister assure this House that during this financial year, the health centre which will be having in-patient facilities can now have an ambulance? view
• 17 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the debate concerning the Vote of the Ministry of Education. Right from the word go, I would wish to come out very clearly in support of this Motion. Indeed, the Budget allocation for the Ministry is the biggest in the entire Government. It is, rightly so, because we give it top priority. The development of human capital is, indeed, the most critical. We know that it is the human capital which actually develops all the other resources. We are lucky that the Ministry is among ... view
• 17 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Is it here? view
• 17 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: I am sorry, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Bw. Waziri is just informing me that it is there. view
• 17 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: I will address you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would want that point to be clarified because I do not see the allocation of OPEC for this financial year. I think it is a very important source of funding for some of our very dilapidated facilities. 2540 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 17, 2007 Thirdly, I want to turn to the challenges of rehabilitation of primary and secondary schools. That project has been going on and I would like to appeal to the Ministry to continue with it, and particularly special emphasis should be put in the pockets of poverty. Those ... view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this critical Vote of a Ministry that deals with very sensitive issues concerning security, which are prerequisite to development. It is also a Ministry which spends a lot of resources and, rightly so, because it is big. I have noticed some progress, and I want to commend the Minister and his staff for a job well done. The performance, evaluation, transparency and accountability, and the Rapid Results Initiative (RRI) approach, the Government has shown that we July 11, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2457 can do very ... view
