• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: However, I beg to reply. view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is right. Khunyangu Sub-District Hospital, indeed, has a bed capacity of 17 beds. It has also a maternity wing, a female/paediatrics ward and male ward. However, it has been put under pressure from patients from Ugenya and Nambale constituencies. view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: What we intend to do is to release the pressure from this sub-district hospital by ensuring that Ambira Sub-District Hospital which is currently under-equipped is fully equipped as a sub-district hospital. At the same time, Nambale, which has no hospital whatsoever, be provided with a sub-district hospital. We do know that Busia District Hospital is only 15 kilometres from Nambale. But Nambale Constituency deserves a sub- district hospital. Given the scarcity of resources, I am pleading with the hon. Member to be patient with us as we upgrade Ambira Sub-District Hospital and provide Nambale with its own sub-district hospital, so ... view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, under the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP), every constituency is being provided with Kshs20 million to invest in a health facility that will eventually be upgraded to a sub-district hospital. view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: The idea behind ESP is for a Member and their Committee in the constituency to identify a particular health centre which should be prepared to be a sub-district hospital and improve it. view

That baseline survey was necessary for us to know where we can invest resources for added value. That is why I am appealing with the hon. Member for Butula that rather than begin investing in a sub-district to upgrade it to a district hospitals, let us use those resources in neighbouring constituencies which are in any case sending patients to his sub-district hospital and creating pressure there so that, that pressure can be released. As the Member invests the ... view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue that the hon. Member has raised is very genuine and I think very sincere. It is upon us in Government to have this dialogue and ensure that these resources are used for added value. If we are going to have one centre of excellence in a constituency, it should be at a level that will add value to health delivery system in that constituency. The answer I have given to Members of Parliament, who have come to me about this issue, is that we should approach both the Ministry of Finance, which is responsible ... view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, I am quite prepared to help. I said that we need a dialogue among the Ministries of Medical Services, Public Health and Sanitation and Finance, so that we can solve this problem. It is not a problem that is peculiar to Butula. We have just heard the hon. Gitobu Imanyara talk about Githongo Sub-District Hospital in his own constituency. Many other hon. Members of Parliament have approached me with similar issues. I think hon. Kigen has made a similar inquiry and received my comment. So, I think as a Government we should not be insensitive ... view
