• 15 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a difference between being “helpless” and being “transparent”, as hon. Dr. Khalwale knows. I am not helpless; I am being transparent. I am saying that the process of gazetting dispensaries involves local health officials going to those facilities and certifying them as being properly constructed and adequate for functioning as dispensaries. There are certain people who put up a shack in the name of a dispensary and expect the Ministry to supply medicine and take nurses there. Now, if a dispensary does not qualify, both according to the standards of the Ministry of Public Works ... view
• 15 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The tender that the hon. Member is talking about was done through the Kenya ICT Board because KEMSA received instructions from the Public Procurement Oversight Authority to transfer the responsibility to the ICT Board. The instructions were conveyed vide letter reference No.PPOA 6/6 (5) of 1st September, 2008. The Kenya ICT Board cited Section 27 (6) of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act of 2005 as the basis for their decision. (b) Details of the members of the Tender Evaluation Committee are as follows:- view
• 15 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is why I am referring the hon. Member to the instructions conveyed to us via that letter which was based on the Public Procurement and Disposal Act of 2005 which, among other things, allows the Kenya ICT Board to act the way it did. Unless the hon. Member is prepared to give us an option outside the law cited by the Kenya ICT Board, I would be quite willing to go back to the Treasury and say a new law has been brought to bear under which I can challenge the decision of the Kenya ICT ... view
• 15 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a table here with me. Surely, I would like to advise the hon. Member really that, since it was done under the view
• 15 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Exactly, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I concur with you, Dr. Khalwale and all the listeners. Let that be done. view
• 15 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I listened very carefully to my friend, hon. Ethuro, when he was moving the Motion. I have also listened equally attentively to hon. C. Kilonzo when he was seconding the Motion. I am afraid I want to oppose the Motion for very good reasons. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to reply. (a) I am aware that sutures worth Kshs40,300,000 imported in the year 2006 by Messrs Dol International Limited for the then Ministry of Health were not received at the Kenya Medical Suppliers Agency (KEMSA), and, therefore, could not have been dispatched to hospitals. I am not aware that they are at risk of expiring because they are not in the custody of the Ministry. (b) The Ministry is not in a position to take measures to forestall the expiry of the sutures because they are not in our custody. The Kenya Anti Corruption ... view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very grateful to the hon. Member for bringing this matter to the attention of the House, and for seeking a solution to it. This is a matter which I am well seized of, and the statement made by the hon. Member, that there has been correspondence between the Ministry, the Attorney-General’s Chambers and the KACC is correct. The fact that he, as a doctor has examined the sutures and found them to be valid until the end of next year, I cannot contest because I do not think hon. Khalwale would bring that sample to ... view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: I said exactly that, I do not think the Member of Parliament is contradicting what I said. I said that the advice was that we had a contractual obligation with Doll International. I said if we did not receive the sutures and they expired we were likely to bear the penalty. However, the KACC in a letter to the Ministry and the Attorney-General, and I would table the letter and all the documents concerned here, said that we must not receive the sutures until the case was determined in court. That is why our hands are tied. On one hand, ... view
