• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: If you want an answer from me you have to listen. If you do not want an answer you can make noise; but you must listen--- view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: I apologise to Members of Parliament. If you want an answer, let me explain very properly. One of the reasons why I instituted a very elaborate process of appointing a director of the college was because of the problems that, that college has been having. As this process was going on, there was also a process of selecting students to that college. Members of this House are aware of the view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not know why Dr. Khalwale is so fixed on Dr. Simiyu and Dr. Ayisi. I was saying that I had made up my mind due to the report that I had received from EMU that I would not appoint anybody to be head of that institution who was already serving there. Secondly, other officers within the Ministry, like Dr. Simiyu and Dr. Ayisi and even Joshua Lusi, are many--- view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: If you are talking about people who are already serving in the Ministry, it was not only Dr. Simiyu or Dr. Ayisi, Dr. Joshua Lusi is also still serving in the Ministry. I think Dr. Maryanne Ndonga is also serving in the Ministry. So for those serving in the Ministry, we would have good reasons not to appoint them to head the KMTC. Having considered the kind of qualities that I needed to appoint as head of the KMTC, I believe I have appointed a qualified and competent person: Dr. Olang’o Onundi is a very qualified person. He has been ... view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the English language is rather difficult. I have said that the two processes went on concurrently. So, it could not have been a condition in the advertisement. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not think I made the appointment without the advice of the Board. The Board gave me advice and I have explained to the House that the two processes took place concurrently. I had the report of the EMU when I got that advice. I made a decision on that basis which is good for the Ministry and the college. I am prepared to appear before the Committee to explain this further. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not think it is a matter of disregarding the Board. I have explained to the House, and it should bear with me that it is in the interest of the country that when we make such an appointment, the Minister finds out whether the Board is doing a good job or not. If I go into the history of the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC); the problem of selection of candidates and the manner in which the board has been implicated in some of these things --- I decided not to dismiss the Board. I ... view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, maybe I am not putting it very clearly. But I was trying to explain to the hon. Member, and I hope the House can bear with me, that the KMTC has gone through a very tumultuous period. Let us not take the Board as having been as clean as Ceasar’s wife. It is because we were having those problems that I asked the EMU to come in and help me solve the problem. By the time the Board was giving me--- view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, can I explain? By the time the Board--- view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am trying to answer Ms. Karua’s question because she has asked me under what law I did this. My response is that I did it under Cap.261(8)(1) but one of the reasons why I did not accept those names was precisely because of the report I had from the EMU at that point in time. view
