• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: (a) Kijauri or Nyansiongo Sub-district Hospital was gazetted in 2008 to serve the newly created Borabu District which is among the more than 150 new districts created since 2007. Many other facilities have similarly been designated as district hospitals for the new districts. To determine upgrading needs, the Ministry has just completed a survey of the designated district hospitals for the new districts and other existing hospitals. This is the baseline survey we have done in the Ministry of Medical Services to determine the difference between what exists and what ought to exist and, therefore, the gap that needs to ... view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: The findings of this survey are now being compiled and will be used to mobilize resources with an aim of standardizing hospital infrastructure across the country. Upgrading of Kijauri also known as Nyansiongo Hospital will be given consideration within this framework alongside other designated district hospitals. view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: (b) Although Kijauri or Nyansiongo is gazetted as a sub-district hospital, it is currently operating as a dispensary. Owing to resource constraints, the Ministry is currently not able to allocate vehicles to facilities functioning below the levels of hospitals and without in-patients. Currently, Nyansiongo Hospital has neither in-patient facilities and in-patients themselves nor facilities that will require the presence of a doctor there. view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: A vehicle will, therefore, be allocated to the facility once it has been upgraded to an operational hospital. view

Members that the Ministry has a shortfall of Kshs13 billion which it needs to implement all the projects that we have in plan. In that regard, upgrading Nyansiongo to a district hospital will suffer this consequence. Unless the Ministry gets enough resources to ensure that upgrading, not only of Nyansiongo Hospital, but all hospitals that have been upgraded to district hospitals, be in keeping with the new districts, it will be very difficult for the Ministry to do so. We need the support of ... view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the hon. Member for that question. I also have nine dispensaries in my own constituency, which suffer the same fate. Currently, we have hired 1,600 medical personnel to be posted to those facilities. These are not enough. We are going to hire another 1,600 medical personnel this year. Last year, we did not post the medical personnel in good time because the hiring process is being done by the Public Service Commission (PSC), which is a very slow process. With the intervention of the Right Honourable Raila Amolo Odinga, the Prime Minister, the ... view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have those figures, although I do not have them here now. I promise that I can provide them to the view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me give an undertaking that the Statement will be ready on Tuesday next week. view
