• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not think that service delivery has been compromised because the old boards of management are still functioning and until they get a hospital superintendent and get new procedural rules from the Ministry, they cannot do any other thing but follow the rules that exist. All I am saying is that the new boards of management cannot come into being until the proper legal framework is in place but the old boards of management do continue to function. A day before yesterday, I was in Malindi District Hospital where things are functioning. In fact, there ... view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) the per province student intake to the KMTCs under both regular and parallel programmes in the last two years is hereby tabled: view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that the need should be taken into account, but I think the poverty index does cover the need concern. In North Eastern Province, there is a great need to recruit more students from there, but the Ministry is taking other steps as well. The other step we are taking is to ensure that in North Eastern Province, we have more mobile units and not stationery units. That is a special programme for the North Eastern Province, which we are undertaking to modernise medical facilities in that area. view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answer will be available in the HANSARD as from tomorrow, I believe. The hon. Member can, definitely, get all the figures from the HANSARD. view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is because of that concern, which I realized looking at the figures of the two previous years, that we introduced poverty index to ensure that we do not miss out on areas that the hon. Member is talking about. Let me assure the hon. Member that I am going to be particularly meticulous to ensure a fair distribution of students’ intake into the KMTC. Indeed, there are other steps that I will be taking very soon to ensure that the KMTC is much more transparently run and there is a fair distribution of the intake ... view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the health needs of the North Eastern Province are very many. When I say that I am taking special measures, we are already negotiating with the Spanish Government, a special programme for modernization of health facilities in the North Eastern Province. I would plead with the hon. Member to give us time to finish this process so that we can explain it to you when everything is ready so that we can scrutinize the details. In the meantime, it is precisely because of the gaps I have seen in the last two years that we have ... view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have an MTC in Garissa but we are also reviewing the whole system nationally to see areas which are served well and those that are under-served. It is precisely because of those inequities in the past, that I hope to take further measures to ensure that they do not recur in the system. view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I pleaded with the hon. Member to be patient so that he can be given the details when they are ready. I believe the word “modernization” is very wide. I think at this point in time, it will be premature to provide the kind of details the hon. Member wants when they are not ready. We are in the process of doing so. I would like him to take me for my word that I have the North Eastern Province at heart. view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) From February 2009, the management of Lodwar District Hospital adopted an alternative method of preservation of bodies called embalment. This was occasioned by frequent breakdowns of the mortuary coolers on account of high external temperatures in Turkana and power surges which was putting a big strain on hospital funds. Two mortuary technicians were trained on the procedure and are now effectively applying the method to preserve bodies. The Ministry will, however, set aside funds in the first quarter of the new Financial Year 2009/2010 to rehabilitate some of the coolers at the ... view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, far be it from me to consign the Turkana nation to a shorter period of being together with their departed. It is my hope and prayer that Mr. Ethuro will obviously have the opportunity to put to rest the departed ones in a dignified and proper manner. In that regard, we are determined and I give him the assurance that the coolers will be repaired in the first quarter of this financial year. Nonetheless, embalment when done properly can preserve bodies for seven days and can be done to continue preserving the bodies. That is why in ... view
