• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, unless there are two KACCs in the country, I have not seen the letter from the KACC instructing the Ministry to pay. There is nothing like that. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a letter here which I read to the House which says the opposite. That is why I am telling the hon. Member that if we read letters from the KACC, sometimes it depends on who writes them. The letters could be from Ms. Fatuma Sichale or Justice Ringera. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have done my best to make sure that we receive those sutures, because we need them. However, when there is confusion as to who is corrupt and who is not, I will not be the donkey which bears that burden. So, until the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, Ms. Sichale, Justice Ringera and others get their act correct, Kenyans will suffer. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my good friend, hon. Ethuro--- I was not agitated; I was just excited about your excitement! view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) X-ray equipment, Haemoglobinometer and Biochemistry machines are available in Lodwar District Hospital. However, the hospital is occasionally unable to render services with those machines owing to breakdowns, lack of accessories or stock- out of consumables. Such interruptions may take time to address because service companies and suppliers of accessories and consumables are located far away either in Nairobi or Eldoret. (b) It is true that Lodwar District Hospital is a referral hospital for six districts in the North Rift. It has been identified to serve that role because it is relatively more ... view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: As a beginning, Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry will, in the current financial year, that is 2009/2010, allocate the hospital Kshs8 million for rehabilitation of buildings. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is unfortunate because the contractual agreements that the Minister had made with those suppliers before were not really very user-friendly. I accept that. The medical engineering departments of the Ministry and Kenya Medical Training Colleges leave a lot to be desired. Indeed, we should invest in medical engineering so that, we can have medical workshops in places like Lodwar to service the machines. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, in procuring such machines, we should not involve ourselves in procuring too many makes and models that cannot be serviced. The situation in the Ministry at the moment is that we have too many makes and models of such machines. That is why you find that the suppliers are only in places like Nairobi and Eldoret. The market for suppliers is not that robust. But, in the meantime, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to assure the hon. Member that the X-ray machine that had broken down three months ago has been repaired. Secondly, the Haemoglobinometer is ... view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do appreciate the hon. Member’s concern but, given the past history of procurement of medical equipment in the Ministry, the best we can do at the moment is to ensure that repairs and management are done promptly, and I am currently doing that. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a very big demand for X-ray machines and they are not very cheap equipment. Secondly, the technology of X-ray machines changes very fast and rather than using the analog machines, it is now advisable to use the digital ones. I was in Kabarnet District Hospital on Monday, where there is a very good X-ray centre, but with no X-ray machines. That is because the old X- ray machine that belongs to the technology of the past has broken down. But we intend to buy a new analog machine to replace it. What we lack, as ... view
