• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me further add my vote of urgency to the issue. Again, I will definitely welcome the document, so that I can look at it. The Ministry of Medical Services is not a very easy Ministry to run. view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: No! It does not mean that I will resign! I do not have bulls to go and fight. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am saying this because we are dealing with human lives. When we are dealing with human lives and there are some weird or out-of-the way individuals in the Ministry, which can happen in any Ministry, who are involved in illegal activities, we take very serious measures. I am grateful to the hon. Member for drawing my attention to that. Further, even on 7th October, 2008, we took somebody to court for being involved in illegal drug importation. ... view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not quite sure whether I understood the question. Could the hon. Member repeat the question in a slow motion? view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not really true that we are not getting drugs from established drug companies. If you look at the companies which supply drugs to this country, you will find that they are the established ones that are known in the pharmaceutical industry. What happens is that people fake the names of these companies and, under the names of the well-known companies, drugs get into this country like it happens in any other faking enterprise. 2758 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 15, 2008 Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are trying to work with known ICT providers to make ... view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Pharmacy and Poisons Board, a body established by law, is there to put surveillance on the drugs and poisons imported into this country and not necessarily only those imported by the Ministry, but by all kinds of traders and nitwits who would like to trade with the lives of Kenyans. Now, these traders and nitwits are in the private sector and we are supposed to check them to make sure that they do not bring to the chemists and pharmacists drugs that will hurt people's lives. As we talk today, at least 16 per cent ... view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank hon. Linturi for being very constructive. Since it is my first time of laying my eyes on this particular document, I will go back to the Ministry and consult the necessary officers and issue a Ministerial Statement in this House in the not too distant future. I will inform the Speaker when I will do so, to establish the authenticity, first, of this document and, secondly, the veracity of the statement that has been made by the hon. Member.

• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Energy:- (a) whether he is aware that the Rural Electrification Programme scheduled to run from Rae Girls Secondary School to Katito, Pap Onditi District Hospital and Kolweny Market stalled in September, 2007; and, (b) when the Ministry will complete this project. view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to appreciate the Assistant Minister very much. Actually, he visited the constituency and promised that the work would proceed. Work has really progressed well and I am very much pleased. I do not want to interrogate him further, except- -- view
• 8 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that part of staff salaries for Kapenguria District Hospital for the month of November, 2003 were stolen. (b) The officers affected have so far not been paid their salaries. This was occasioned by a combination of a non-responsive human resource division that existed in the Ministry at the time and lack of follow up by the administration of Kapenguria District Hospital. However, the Ministry has now revived the matter, and all affected staff will be paid their salaries within the month of October, 2008. (c) To prevent ... view
• 8 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that those people have suffered enough. That is why I said that there was a non-responsive attitude in the human resources department then. But once the issue was brought to our notice, we moved fast to ensure that the rights of these people are safeguarded. Following the theft of the staff salaries, the Hospital Administrator and two paying clerks were questioned by the police over their failure to ensure safe custody of the salaries. They were, however, released without being charged in court. This matter, therefore, should be addressed to ... view
