• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Once a contract is signed, some conditions need to be met. Before you terminate a contract with a contractor, you must give them notice and some time. Once the contractor responds positively requesting to be given some time to mobilize enough funds to continue with the construction, it would be arbitrary to terminate the contract without listening to the side of the contractor. That is why we are saying that if the contractor can proof before 12th August, that he is capable of continuing with the works, then we will allow him to continue. However, if he cannot, we will ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, only 16 percent of the works has been done by the contractor. However, we have made sure that according to the contract document--- view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am quite prepared to give all the facts to the Member of Parliament so that we can read from the same page. The contract commenced on 21st June, 2010. The contract period was 104 weeks. The completion date is expected on 21st June, 2012. The contract expiry date is 21st January, 2013. The contract sum is Kshs630,479,744 only. Payment certified to date is Kshs35, 562,766 only. The percentage of total certified to date is only 5.6 per cent. Contract period has elapsed by 55 weeks. The contract period lapsed, therefore, 53 per cent should ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the architects from the Ministry of Public Works were compromised to frustrate the contractor, the contractor would be the first person to let the Ministry know that he is being frustrated. This has not been the complaint of the contactor. The contractor started by demanding that he be paid 10 percent mobilization fee, which was not part of the agreement, and the Ministry could not contravene its own agreement with the contractor. As I have said, since to date we have paid a certified amount of Kshs35,562,766, which is commensurate to the amount of ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Management of sexual violence is not a training specialty in Kenya. Victims of sexual violence in Kenya are managed by doctors and their support staff - that is nurses, clinical officers, laboratory technicians, medical social workers and clinical pathologists - to whom they present themselves at health facilities. The national guidelines for management of sexual violence have been disseminated to all health facilities for health workers to acquaint themselves with, and to refer to when managing victims of sexual violence. However, certain cadres of health workers have professional training to manage ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not think I will give the hon. Member any different answer because, as far as I can follow, the Question is very clearly answered. When the hon. Member asked how many medical doctors have been trained to manage victims of sexual violence, I told her that sexual violence is not a specialty in Kenya. Nonetheless, there are doctors who attend to sexual violence precisely because those guidelines have been sent to them and the hon. Member knows that the Ministry--- view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, quite rightly said! Indeed, I said that the guideline for sexual violence--- In fact, the Ministry has gone further and written very detailed instructions and further guidelines to doctors that the Ministry believes should be involved in dealing with sexual violence. Those are psychiatrists, pathologists, obstetricians, gynecologists and medical officers. There is no need training doctors who are oncologists for sexual violence because they will never be in a position to deal with sexual violence as oncologists. But, indeed, psychiatrists, pathologists, obstetricians and gynecologists will be relevant in dealing with sexual violence. In this particular case ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, apparently, hon. Members have answers. So, if they do, then I do not need to stand here and give it. I was telling the hon. Member that, indeed, I agree with her that there is no course, at least, in Kenya for specifically treating sexual violence. But we know that we have qualified doctors and medical professionals in the Ministry and various hospitals who should attend to sexual violence, and to whom those guidelines should be sent so that in those specific cases, they could handle these people and women effectively and competently. Indeed, it would ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is an issue that had been extensively discussed in the Ministry and I do agree with the hon. Member that fees should be waived for victims of sexual violence. However, there are times and, indeed, very frequently, when the police are involved as they should. I do not know what the legal requirements are regarding who determines when P3 forms should be paid for or not. This is where boundaries in Government are very important, but as far as the Ministry of Medical Services is concerned, we do feel that once there has been an ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am grateful for hon. Olago. Of course, that is how he earns his keeping, definitely. In that case, hon. Member, we do not pay to the police, but we shall approach his profession to waive the fees. view
