• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Khalwale’s other question was the fact that we are building a modern hospital in Nyeri, we have put up Mama Lucy Hospital here and we are not doing it elsewhere. It is true that we have done them. But that does not mean that we are not going to do it elsewhere. As I speak today, if you go to Kisii Level Five District Hospital, you will find that it is completely modernized. The same applies to Kericho, Migori and Meru district hospitals. We have built a brand new eye hospital in Kitale and ... view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Kabogo is right. I give him my commitment and that of the Ministry. The very reason why the medical practitioners went there was with Terms of Reference (TOR) given by us that they make recommendations to improve service delivery at the Thika District Level V Hospital. Those recommendations will be implemented. view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think this debate is very timely. This is the year for change, and we must change from past laxity and poor management of sports to better management of sports and athletics in this country. If my memory serves me correct, I think we have discussed in the Cabinet the Sports Management Bill, one of whose objectives is to establish a sports academy, and introduce sports science, so that those who are in sports and athletics can approach this from a very scientific view-point. view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been to the University of Athletics and Sports in Cuba. Cubans actually have a whole university for training their sportswomen and men. In that university one of the subjects that is studied is physiology, because one needs to know how the body works so as to train that body properly. So, indeed, sports is a science. I believe that if we go along this direction, we shall address a lot of the issues relating to sports in a much more practical and scientific manner, both by the government and the sportspeople themselves. view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Having said that, I want to address myself to this issue of our sports heroes. Let me give you a concrete example. We have a man called Joe Kadenge. For those of you who are old enough, older than my friend hon. Wamalwa who might not have been there in the 1960s, you know what a legendary Joe Kadenge was. I remember watching a match at the City Stadium in the mid 1960s, when the Kenyan team was playing West Bromwich Albion, and Joe Kadenge was a star. Joe, in a fact, scored a goal which, to all of us, ... view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you and the House for giving me the opportunity to move the Vote for the Fiscal Year 2011/2012 for the Expenditures Estimates - Vote No.11 - for the Ministry of Medical Services. The health sector forms a key component of our social pillar and Vision 2030. As hon. Members may know, health, education and food are the basic needs of all human beings today, notwithstanding security and freedoms which are also important. With the promulgation of the new Constitution last year, Kenyans have high expectations from the Government of Kenya to ensure that Article 43 ... view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other half was down on the Vote on Accounts that came before this House. We are now dealing with the other half to make it one whole and complete Vote. So, the Order Paper is in order. I think the hon. Members should not regret seeing those figures before them. Those figures will help complete the Vote, Vote 11 for the Ministry of Medical Services for the Financial Year 2011/2012. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker. Sir, this has been the practice in the House all these years. I am happy for making that clarification to the hon. Member. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to bore the House with the kind of gains the Ministry has made. However, I am trying to give the kind of background information; that is, building a case for the tremendous shortfalls in the Ministry which the Members of the House should appreciate and which the Government should look for ways and means of bridging. Many of the gains that I have talked about are due to ... view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we also need to strengthen our hospital management systems. One of the reasons why there has been waste in our hospitals and ineffective services is because we are trying to put square pegs in round holes. Our professional doctors are very well trained in their profession and we need to give them time to practice their profession, rather than divert them to other professions for which they were never trained. That is why using our professional doctors - be they physicians or surgeons - to administer and manage hospitals has been a wrong strategy to get proper ... view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: We have also rolled out a Hospital Management Services Fund with effect from July 2010 to improve financial management, while training of hospital management boards is currently going on. We have undertaken periodic supervision of hospitals which has resulted in much better performance improvement in those facilities. We are also, at the same time, strengthening the Public/Private Partnerships (PPPs) in the health sector not only with regard to improving management, but also with regard to addressing key issues like improving and investing in infrastructure. As you will soon realize, the Ministry has already proposed and is coming up with services ... view
