• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion which is very important. As the Mover, my friend, hon. Sambu said, it was important that the Budget Committee, together with the relevant organs of Government, arrived at a manner of exercising the distributive powers of the State to counties. This should be done in such a manner that it will make sense to the people of Kenya. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as my friend Ethuro has also emphasized, the essence of the new Constitution is devolution. This is because through devolution government goes to the people, resources ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for hon. Khalwale to impute improper intention on my part that I planned for them to get zero in Roads 2000 Programmes when Roads 2000 Programmes had nothing to do with the Ministry of Planning and National Development when I was the Minister? view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, noting that Members have substantially contributed to this Motion, will it be in order for me to call upon the Mover to reply? view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: You did not hear what I was saying? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, since most Members have substantially contributed to this Motion, would it be in order to call upon the Mover to reply? view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was going to plead to the House that since this is an issue on which we are dealing with the Report of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, I do not think there is any disagreement with it. Why can we not just pass it now and let the Minister for Agriculture proceed with the next Motion? view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this very important Bill. I only need to say two things in supporting it. Looking at one of the annexes in which certain boards that have been existing are addressed as former boards makes me feel very happy because these creates too many arenas for end seeking. Secondly, it increases inefficiency in the Government. There are too many bodies doing the same thing in various crop areas which could be done by one competent and efficient body. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to answer. (a) I am aware that Patrick Njau Murugo aged 49 years from Getua Village, Marua, was admitted to Kerugoya District Hospital on 30th July, 2012 at 2.10 a.m., with complaints of headache, fever and a swollen left hand. (b) I am also aware that his condition worsened later that day and after review by a physician, a CT scan was ordered but the patient died before the procedure could be done. (c) No action is being taken against the hospital management neither is it necessary to compensate the bereaved family as the death ... view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of the conversation between the relatives and the hospital officers in that regard. What I know is that the patient died as a result of suspected contamination by anthrax. He was reported to have slaughtered a dead animal one week before admission and the symptoms leading to his death were very good indication that the possibility of an anthrax infection could not be ruled out. After that, the conversation that led to the relatives believing that he could be transferred to Nairobi was overtaken by events because he died before anything could be ... view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is neither the tradition nor the practice of doctors to kill. It is the training and commitment of medical professionals to save life. However, we should know that it is God who gives life in the final analysis. Where there are cases of suspicion of negligence, there is proper procedure followed in the Ministry to the effect that the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board receives reports from such health facilities. The Board meticulously follows such reports and hearings are heard to ensure that those who accuse health facilities of negligence are properly attended to. The process ... view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the substantive Question I am answering is from Kerugoya. However, if, indeed, the hon. Member wants to bring a substantive Question regarding his case, I can answer it after receiving relevant documentation from the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board. I would not like to answer a question on guess work. I have told you and the House that--- view
