• 3 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me be very transparent with the hon. Member. It will, perhaps, be useful if I could invite him to come to the Ministry, so that we can meet the officials who are charged with the use of this money to know exactly how much we can allocate to Matiliku to respond to some of the very urgent needs of the hospital on its way to becoming a fully-fledged district hospital. I will work with the hon. Member to try our best to meet his concerns and needs. view
• 3 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Bishop Augustine of Hippo once said that, in matters as grave as this, it is important to think for a moment that you may be wrong. On this side of the House, the President made a decision. I want to appeal to His Excellency the President, to listen to Bishop of Hippo: “Think for a moment that you may be wrong”. view
• 3 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my dear friend, Mr. Murungi was then the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs and with whom I served in the Kombo Committee on Anti- Corruption and we developed this law on Economic Crimes and Public Ethics Act. When he was presenting that Bill in Parliament, he said as follows:- “Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Commission is to be managed by a Director. “That is in Clause 5 of the Bill”. The Director should be a suitably qualified person in the areas of law, finance and public policy. The Director will also have Assistant Directors, all ... view
• 3 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a point I was trying to make. It is a bit complicated. The complication comes from the fact that as we sit here today, both the National Assembly and the nation are extremely apprehensive in the manner in which Justice Ringera is view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Following the gazettement of the regulations on the management of sexual abuse cases earlier this year, the Minister is now in the process of revising the national guidelines on medical management of rape or sexual violence developed in 2004 to incorporate new areas of focus, especially collection and production of evidence in court. This exercise is expected to be completed by the end of October, this year. Once completed, the revised guidelines will be disseminated and operationalized in all health facilities. In the meantime, the Ministry has waived fees for filing of ... view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is right. Currently, there are a number of centres of excellence for management of cases of sexual abuse. These guidelines can mainly be available in those centres at, for example, Kenyatta National Hospital, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Nairobi Women Hospital and Coast Provincial General Hospital. We are going to make sure that when these guidelines are revised, by the end of this year, and disseminated, this time round, they will be available in all health facilities rather than in the key health facilities, which currently have them. This was a mistake done in ... view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my reply to the Question, I had said – and I wish to restate it for hon. Olago’s attention – that in the meantime, the Ministry has waived fees for filling of P3 Forms for victims of sexual abuse in public hospitals. “Waived” means they will no longer pay. view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will have to seek clarification on that issue, because I do not know what road traffic cases and other cases have to do with paying for filling of P3 Forms. If it was within my power, they would not pay. view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with respect to sexual offences, we are doing our best to make sure that people who are qualified, and who are properly prepared, deal with these cases, because sexual offences are extremely sensitive and highly emotional offences that require psychological counselling and other forms of human comfort. So, nurses and doctors, who have to deal with sexual offences, must be very carefully prepared for the work they do. It is something that the four centres of excellence we have mentioned, together with the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), are giving very careful attention to. When it comes ... view
