30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me assure the House that my Ministry has completed a baseline survey of all our facilities in terms of equipment and human resources available. We have done a survey of what we need to make these facilities be world class competitive. We have this document which we shall put into a Sessional Paper and bring it to this House for debate after passing through the Cabinet so that we can know what we have, what we are missing and what we need to get where we want to go. When I mentioned the figure of ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is something that was mentioned which is very important. That is the issue of trauma accidents. Kenya is known today, by facts and figures, as being one of the most accident-prone countries. We have many more accident per capita than many nations in Africa. Indeed, when we saw the fire disasters a couple of years ago, we promised ourselves that we will start trauma and accident centre in the country. Fortunately, our Ministry has responded by establishing a proposal for national ambulatory and emergency services. This too is ready and is completely well studied. ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, KEMSA was also taken to task today with regard to how they provide drugs to our health facilities. Indeed, we too have accepted this shortcoming and rather than continue relying on the pull-push system whereby we have standard health kits going to facilities across the board nationally, we are going to have the pool system where facilities will demand drugs according to their needs and they will be supplied on time. This cannot work unless the enterprise resource programme at the KEMSA works properly because this must be managed in a computerized system rather than relying ...

If, indeed, the enterprise resource programme that has been established and is proven to work is established properly, we shall go towards the pool system which is going to be much more cost-effective and efficient in supplying drugs to our facilities.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am very happy that the House is conscious of these problems and that together with them and the Ministry of Finance we shall rise up to the occasion and not disappoint our people especially when the expectations have been taken sky high in the new Constitution.

Another issue was raised by my dear friend, Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry regarding medical centres of excellence. Let me make a proposal, you cannot have centres of excellence at the bottom if you do not have centres of excellence at the top. At the moment we have a proposal put in place a system whereby all our provincial government hospitals and heavy volume hospitals will become referral facilities. If you have gone to Kisii District Hospital and Mama Lucy Kibaki District Hospital here in Nairobi and to Kericho District Hospital, then you will know what a proper centre of excellence at that ...

18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also rise to support this Bill for two good reasons. One, that for the first time we shall have banks disclosing the unclaimed assets that they have. I will give you a very good example. When I was in High School, I think all of you remember, Post Office and Savings Bank used to have a little box in which you dropped coins, afterwards you took it to the Post Office where they would open and save the money. I did that throughout my High School. When I went to college I forgot about it. ...

18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other thing I would like to say is that in law there is something called administration of estates. Many of our people pass on and because in our culture and tradition people are not so much aware of the law, the administration of many estates is not done properly in this country. Therefore, the offspring and children end up not really inheriting the estates of their parents, particularly shares in companies. I just discovered the other day that my late father had some shares in Brooke Bond. However, because the administration of estates took very ...
