• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Well, remember that I come from the Jubilee Government. I have to defend it every time that the other side raises issues; but I do not think I should engage myself--- view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Some hon. Members also like talking about issues which are not relevant to the topic at hand, and I must also tell them that, that is not the issue. The issue of ASAL areas must be emphasised because we need boarding schools. I just want to urge my colleagues not to worry about other issues. We, as the Jubilee Government, are digital and we are going to do just as we have planned. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. From the outset, I would like to thank Hon. Juma Zuleikha for bringing this Motion. I think time has come for this country to take very seriously the youth issues. Honestly, I do not think we are serious. If in this year’s Budget we have not allocated money for the National Youth Council (NYC), then how will the youth have a forum to address their issues? Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this august House needs to bring a supplementary budget which will cater ... view

• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this Motion. First of all, let me thank Hon. David Ouma for bringing this Motion to this House. I rise to support it from the outset because it is very important to this country. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I also realize that this Motion is party-sponsored and we do not have problems with this because the number of clinical officers in this country is small. On Monday, I travelled with the County Women Representative, Hon.Tuya, to one of our remote areas called Shotan Sub-location. We saw one clinical officer who serves a dispensary. We were shocked that the officer works from 8.00 a.m up to almost 6.00 p.m. One wonders when he finishes attending to all the patients in the long queue at the dispensary. The dispensary does not have any staff other than the clinical officer. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to say that we require many of those officers on the ground. The Government says that it will provide basic clinical services. I support this Motion because it will go a long way in helping our counties in that endeavour. I think the biggest problem that we have is the Budget. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I am a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and we have realized that the health sector has not been allocated enough money. Once we pass this Motion, we must come up with a supplementary budget to allocate money to cater for the hiring of those clinical officers. Otherwise, we will wait until next year. We cannot wait until next year because we need those clinical officers and nurses now. This issue should be taken very seriously. I know many hon. Members have brought many Motions on how to help this country but, let us be very careful so ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: If you look at our dispensaries that had been built through CDF and other monies from the Government--- I have seen many of those dispensaries in my constituency. It is better not to have them because they are just white elephant projects. That is because The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: nobody is there to man them and yet, those people need medical services. Those dispensaries do not have even a single officer. I have heard some Members say that they have a few officers. In Narok West Constituency which I represent, and which is one of the biggest constituencies in this country, there is not a single officer. view
