• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to give a Statement that was requested by Mr. Eugene Wamalwa, the Member for Saboti regarding the transfer of Dr. Maurice Wakwabubi as the superintendent of the hospital at Kitale. First, this was a normal transfer to Kapenguria District Hospital for the needed services there. Secondly, the surgeon and the gynecologist who were in Kapenguria left the station to join the University of Nairobi. Hence sadly we were left with no other option, but to get to Kapenguria a senior doctor, Dr. Wakwabubi since--- view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, notwithstanding what you have said, Mr. Eugene Wamalwa and I already discussed and he knows the answer. He has absolutely no objection to the Statement being made in the House, so that it is part of the HANSARD, because he has no objection to that. So, I would oblige. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Member for Gwassi as usual is assuming a knowledge that does not belong to his territory. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I myself will not be here on Thursday. I will be on an equally important mission. So, the Statement may have to be made next week on Wednesday. view

• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to deliver this Statement. This Statement regards the strike threat by members of the Kenya Health Professional Society Workers (KHPS in the public health sector. It is important that the nation as well as the House be enlightened on this issue as indeed health matters are extremely important. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Health Professional Society is the umbrella body pursuing welfare interests of most health workers in the country. It is not a trade union. It is a society. On the 9th of February 2012, the KHPS issued ... view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, health care is an essential service. We shall continue to dialogue with all stakeholders for the betterment of service delivery to all Kenyans. However, I will plead to health workers, it is not humane to threaten both the Government and the society of Kenya, with strikes on an issue that is being handled competently, and on an issue that dialogue and discussions can, indeed, settle democratically. I thank you. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, let me make myself very clear. When I said humane, I did not mean that health workers are not humane. All I said, and the HANSARD bears me correct, is that if you issue a strike notice for somebody who is sick in hospital, who is on palliative care and who knows that the next day, he may not have a health professional looking after them, it is much more serious to that person, to you issuing the strike. This is because palliative care stands between you and their life. That is exactly what I mean. ... view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, the whole purpose of reading this statement is to clarify so called promises that were not made. If the hon. Member was listening carefully, I gave dates, when certain agreements were to start. I have even said that some of those agreements, the Government has fulfilled before those dates. What I would like members of the profession to understand is that if somebody has for some reason had a lapse of memory on exactly what this agreement entailed, we have a Permanent Taskforce between the Ministry and the health professionals to review these issues. We are ... view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: When you come to conditions of services that Dr. Munyaka, MP for Machakos Town has talked about, I myself have said in House that this Government needs about Kshs85 billion in the next three to five years, to make sure that the delivery of health services is enhanced by putting in place infrastructure, equipment and environmental service that is in consonant to modern needs. I know that because of competing needs of the Budget we cannot get that Kshs85 billion instantly. However, we have made a baseline survey and our teams continue to visit hospitals to assess the situation. Indeed, ... view
