• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support the amendment. view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to answer. (a) The Ministry has plans to construct a surgical theatre at Garba-Tulla District Hospital in the coming financial year 2010/2011. (b) The Ministry of Public Works in Isiolo District has carried out a mechanical inspection of the ambulance, a Toyota Land Cruiser and estimated the cost of repair to be Kshs140,000. The Ministry will make a provision to repair the ambulance during the revised Estimates in March/April, 2010. view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry will budget for that theatre. We will obviously put it up in the course of next year. As far as the exact cost of the theatre is concerned, that should not worry the Member of Parliament. The Ministry is aware that Garba-Tulla is a recently created district curved out of Isiolo District. In Isiolo District, there is a provision for other health facilities. So, provisions for Garba-Tulla District will not be affected whatsoever, with considerations elsewhere. Further, we know that Garba-Tulla Hospital--- view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: No. I am not going round in circles. For what I know, the theatre will not cost more than Kshs10 million according to the Estimates. But you know that the cost of construction always varies in time. It is quite possible that variation orders could be put in by the contractors by the time the budget comes into place. That was why I was assuring the Member of Parliament that we have made enough provisions for the cost of supplying enough equipment and construction of that hospital. But nonetheless, the estimated cost of doing the theatre is Kshs10 million. view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the ambulance is not really that old. The ambulance was supplied to the district hospital in the year 2005. The use of ambulances in our district hospitals has not been very good. Quite often, they are put to multipurpose which makes them breakdown rather fast. That is why we are at the moment having a plan to have a national ambulance system which will manage ambulances much better. This ambulance was manufactured in 2005 and allocated to the hospital and is still good enough if we spent Kshs140,000 to repair it. It is a Four Wheeled Driven ... view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said quite frequently in this House that the Minister may have very good intentions to satisfy the needs of Kenya, but then the supply side is not responding. The supply side is the Treasury. It is this House that votes money to the Treasury. I would like to appeal to this House that during the coming financial year, to ensure that there is enough money in the budget lines that will give me the power to use the Kshs5 million to construct the theatre in Saboati. view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Yakub has made a very useful proposal. The whole idea of having a national ambulance system is to make sure that the Ministry collaborates with the private sector, including private hospitals such that anybody who can have access to an ambulance anywhere can use that ambulance at the cost of the national ambulance system, so that the Ministry does not depend entirely on its own feet, knowing that its own feet are not adequate; therefore, developing a system whereby ambulances are paid for as they are used. We would encourage people in the private sector, indeed, ... view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas I would willingly allocate the travel money to the hon. Member from Isiolo South, unfortunately, as Ministers, we are not the accounting officers in our Ministries. We are simple servants in those Ministries. So, the hon. Member may have to write to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Medical Services to get that reallocation of travel money channeled to Isiolo South. Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Kshs140,000 is actually available for the repair of the vehicle. I do sympathize with my dear friend – I hope I do not lose his friendship – having given ... view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this Draft Constitution. Like my friend, Mr. Nanok, has said, with amendments that will make it a better document. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, every Constitution like this has certain principles upon which a nation or a political system is founded. The principles which are fundamental to a Constitution is to uphold the right and dignity of its people and provide them with an environment as equal citizens to develop and prosper; provided with an environment as equal citizens to develop and prosper, particularly in a Republic. If it was a ... view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: In those days, they did so much to ensure that we have resistance against the authoritarian presidential system. There were many! Of course, we know Mr. Gitobu Imanyara who is still with us and Mr. Orengo. There were such gallant women like Lilian Wanjira. There were friends like Mr. Muite, Dr. Khaminwa and many others. Indeed, in those days when we were struggling for this second liberation, sometimes not even friends would come to your house when they knew that the previous day you had been visited by the police and thrown into police cells or threatened with detention. The ... view
