• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to fully support. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to make a Personal Statement in the House. On 19th October this year at around 11.20 a.m., in the morning, one of my personal assistants in my private office, Mr. Justus Okoth, went to collect letters from the Post Office, Box No.57103-00200, which is located at City Square here in the City. Mr. Okoth noticed that the lock was loose and informed the person who was at Counter 7. He was told to get a letter from the owner who is myself. Since I was not around, he told my personal assistant, Mr. Peter ... view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Committee, which has been very thorough and will, definitely, go a long way in helping us improve the performance at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital and, indeed, in undertaking the reforms we have proposed. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: I would like to begin by pointing out a few misunderstandings, firstly, with regard to what the Report says about the advertisements at the hospital. In the first advertisement, we said that the age bracket was to be between 45 and 55 years but in the second advertisement, we removed the age bracket. This was as a result of legal advice. First, the retirement age for civil servants is 60 years. So, you cannot advertise and restrict the age of applicants to between 45 and 55 years. You can easily be taken to court on that score. Secondly, it is ... view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, secondly, when it comes to Government regulations, there is a very clear regulation from the Office of the President, circulated to all Ministries, that in the appointment of CEOs for parastatals, if a Board wants to renew the terms of the existing CEO, all the Board needs to do is write to the parent Ministry seeking the concurence of the Ministry for renewal of the term of the CEO. The Ministry, therefore, can either reject or accept the recommendations of the Board. However, when it comes to advertising a position of the CEO, a sitting CEO ... view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: In both Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital and Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), in the first round, the Boards got it wrong. Indeed, in the case of KNH, when they came up with the names, including that of the then CEO, I rejected the list in the same manner, and told KNH to re-advertise the position because the regulations do not allow a sitting CEO to apply. I advertised the position in the case of Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. Apparently, when I did that, all hell broke loose. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we must be very honest here. I was ... view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Let me also emphasize the following fact that indeed, it is important every now and again that the management is changed even when somebody is doing well. That is why presidents are given two terms and are not allowed to renew those terms because in the running of major organizations, a time comes when somebody must be in a position to see beyond the organization and bring innovation. But when you have stayed for too long, it is very difficult to bring innovation. So, I appreciate the concerns of the Members but as a Minister, I found it very important ... view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me apologize that I was not in the House yesterday to deliver this Statement as was agreed. I apologize to the Member for Juja who was here and expected me to do so. Today, I am ready. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: This Statement regards the deaths of four children at Thika Level 5 Hospital between 4th and 6th August, this year. The Member for Juja, hon. Kabogo, requested a Ministerial Statement on the deaths of four children at the Thika Level 5 Hospital between 5th and 6th August this year. I am further aware--- view
