• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: (b) The Ministry has no immediate plans to post another doctor to assist the District Medical Officer of Health. That is because the facility is still operating as a health centre where we do not require doctors. view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, if, indeed, hon. Members could urge my good friend here, hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, to enhance the budgetary contribution to the health sector, the demands from hon. Members for equipping and building their hospitals will definitely be met. But that lies in the good grace of the Ministry of Finance. view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have received the demographic statistics of Emuhaya as a district and I know that the nearest district hospital from Emuhaya is the Vihiga District Hospital, which is 15 kilometers away. It is rather far away as a referral centre from Emuhaya. But, Mr. Speaker, Sir, the land required for building a district hospital is not there. At the moment, the health centre occupies three acres, which is not enough to build a district hospital. Therefore, one of the things that I would request from the hon. Member is that, through the local authorities and with the ... view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is right. If you take a constituency like North Horr, it is almost the size of Nyanza Province. You cannot expect people to access health care based on one district hospital. The Ministry, therefore, has a challenge to provide alternative methods of providing health care, rather than physical stationery facilities which will, obviously, necessitate mobile facilities. These are possibilities that we are considering. They have financial and proper equipment implications. I will be coming before the House with policies that may help us meet those needs, given the concerns that the hon. Member has ... view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Emuhaya Health Centre, at the moment, has 20 beds, including a maternity ward. There are four clinical officers and nine nurses. Given the shortage of nurses and clinical officers that we have at the moment, I would plead with the hon. Member that we make do with the personnel available. Nonetheless, we have recruited 1,600 nurses and medical view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to contribute to this Motion. However, while doing so, I would like to make a very pertinent point. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the pertinent point is that, complex problems do not require simple solutions. There has been a chorus in this country. This chorus has also been picked-up by diplomats and journalists. This chorus has been about wrangling in Government. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if anybody is aware of the history of this country, this country has gone through many trials and tribulations since Independence. Much more important are the trials and tribulations of ... view
• 28 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the amended Motion. view
• 28 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to remind the House that what has happened in this House last week is a very useful debate. Let us not complain and regret that this debate took place. Many of us have been made more aware of the National Accord than we were before. This is important for nation building. Social changes always occur as a result of contradictions. Some contradictions are minor, while others are major. Major contradictions bring revolutions when the change occurs. Minor contradictions bring changes that we see today, and better understanding. So the Speaker has today clarified the ... view
• 23 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me start by commending my friend, Mr. Chris Okemo, who made an extremely important contribution in this House today. For the many years I have been in this House, I have always pointed to that saying at the main door into this Chamber: “For the welfare of society and the just Government of men”. It is in that spirit that I would like to plead with the House. Please, let us not intimidate ourselves by saying: “Kenyans are watching us; power-hungry individuals”, et cetera . view
• 23 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion of Adjournment and appeal to the House that consultation and concurrence on the decisions that we make in this House as a Grand Coalition Government, is important and will be in line with the National Accord. view
