• 30 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is quite possible that the dispensaries in Mr. Angwenyi's constituency were not completed according to the standards required. Once they are certified that they are equal to the rest, we will make sure that he gets the required staff. That way, the messenger who cannot even dress wounds can no longer work there. view
• 30 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can only repeat what I said. It is not possible for all dispensaries to have an equal number of nurses because the demand is different. As I said, it depends entirely on the number of people who are using those dispensaries. view
• 30 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member knows that, for a long time, there was a freeze on the employment of nurses and clinical officers. We have now started employing them. Of course, we employ them according to the financial resources that we have got. The number of nurses and clinical officers trained in this country is more than adequate. I believe that in the next budgetary allocation, there will be another amount of money that will enable this Ministry to employ more nurses. view
• 30 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of any other exigencies that brought the differences. But if there were, it is possible that, perhaps, there were more sick people in Dujis Constituency than in Mr. Ochilo-Ayacko's place! view
• 30 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a matter of fact, I will be in the hon. Member's constituency tomorrow. I will be visiting the area. I will talk to the Minister for Health to help the young man. view
• 30 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my apologies on behalf of the Attorney-General. I know he is busy with the next Order after Question Time. That is the reason why he did not send me the signed reply. He is not here. May I request that you put this Question on the Order Paper for Tuesday next week? view
• 30 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Minister for Education, I beg to reply. 3602 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 30, 2007 (a) The total number of teachers in Teso District who have left the teaching service between the year 2003 and 2007 through deaths, resignations, dismissals and transfers is 256. (b) I am aware that, through natural attrition, Teso District currently has a shortage of 551 teachers at the primary level and 43 at the secondary level. That is as at September, 2006. (c) The Ministry has been replacing teachers who leave through natural attrition on an annual basis. Between ... view
• 30 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, schools in Teso District are not treated differently from other schools. As we know, there is a national shortage of teachers. There is under- staffing everywhere. As we are aware, the Ministry recently employed 11,000 teachers. I am quite sure that there was equitable distribution in the recruitment of those teachers. view
• 30 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are, indeed, guidelines in the replacement of those teachers that are out of service because of natural attrition. Improvements are happening all the time, particularly since the introduction of performance contracting. There is, indeed, a great deal of improvement in the replacement of teachers who have left due to natural attrition. view
• 30 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the first place, that question has no relationship, whatsoever, with the Question before the House. Nevertheless, I will answer it. Indeed, this Government has undertaken to pay teachers according to the agreement of the previous Government. I think the Government has done extremely well on that score. view
