• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am definitely guilty of not observing Article 43 of the Constitution. Indeed, the Constitution challenges the health system to do a lot of things to ensure that Kenyans have a right to affordable and quality healthcare. That requires financing and institutional building. That is one of the reasons that I said that we must begin to walk today by noting the shortages and deficits, realizing the job that is involved and not only react spontaneously to problems as they arise. I have said that we are factoring in now resources for training. We did not have ... view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what we are doing is to develop curricula for training speech therapists. If you hire people to come and train without telling them what to do, we shall, perhaps, be paying money and not getting results back. So, the first thing and this is in our strategic plan, is to ensure that curricula for speech therapists is there so that whether you are using volunteers or foreign personnel, they will use it. Secondly, to engage institutions that can train the speech therapists. Some of these institutions may be universities in the public and private sectors. The only ... view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Bw. Spika, Serikali ya Kenya ina uhaba wa pesa. Kwa hivyo, sisi kama Wizara tunapendekeza Serikali ya Kenya itenge pesa za kutosha katika Bajeti ijayo ili tuweze kuwasomesha maafisa wengi ambao watakuwa na ujuzi mwingi wa kuwasaidia watoto vigugumizi hapa nchini, hasa kutoka jamii maskini. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, by coincidence, yesterday when I was in Aga Khan Hospital I met a parent with a two year old boy who could not speak or respond to his name. So, I asked the father what he is doing. He told me that he was taking him to the Aga Khan Hospital, so that the boy can be given specialized treatment over time. The father was convinced that eventually the boy would speak. The problem, as the hon. Member says, is that we do not know how many such young children are there in the countryside because the ... view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have to realize that the Budget is as good as the wealth of the country. If we present our demands, which we do, there is always a Budget circle which involves all Ministries to discuss and present their demands. However, in the final analysis, Treasury must allocate resources according to the wealth of this country or the money we get from taxpayers. So, if the Ministry of Finance turns around says that they cannot give so much money, there is very little that the Ministry of Health can do. The point is that it is for ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is my understanding that Mr. Orengo moved a Procedural Motion before we go to the substantive Motion. Dr. Khalwale has proceeded to discuss the substantive Motion rather than the Procedural Motion. My point is that we must first of all dispose of the Procedural Motion and then we can go to the substantive Motion. The Procedural Motion is that this House orders that the business appearing in today’s Order Paper be exempted from the provisions of that Standing Order. I think Members have to make a decision on whether we are exempting; skip discussing ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: I beg to support. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me apologize for arriving here late. I wanted to wait, see and hear the drift of the discussion by Members. Indeed, I came late dealing precisely with this problem. I would stand guided by the House. I do not want to dispute anything but there is nothing we are hiding in the Ministry of Medical Services, nor is there anything I, as the Minister, would like to hide regarding the NHIF affair. As a Minister, I am as concerned as the Members that we get to the bottom of this. That is because the very ... view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Let me just explain, please! view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Please, let me explain. That is one of the reason why we were called before the Parliamentary Committee. However, if it is in the interest of this House that I issue a Ministerial Statement, I am not in any way reluctant to issue a Ministerial Statement because I need to inform the House how things have gone since the Parliamentary Committee started its work, awaiting the results of the work of the Committee. I need to inform the House the steps that the Government has taken over this issue. I need to inform the House why there was some controversy ... view
