• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Ol Kalou District Hospital was gazetted as a Level 4 facility, that is a District Hospital, through Gazette Notice No.3142, published on 16th June, 1995. (b) The hospital’s equipment and facilities are functional. (c) The hospital is already rendering services to the people of Nyandarua County and for all intents and purposes, the people know that it is open. As I have already stated, the facility was gazetted in 1995 and there is, therefore, no need to gazette it afresh as a Level 4 hospital, unless its status is changing to ... view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is right. I am conscious of the fact that Ol Kalou District Hospital which becomes J.M. Kariuki Memorial Hospital as from tomorrow really requires a lot of rehabilitation. When we undertook rehabilitation of 23 hospitals over the last two years, we rehabilitated the neighbouring Nyahururu District Hospital, which also overlaps with the population that Ol Kalou serves. Now, the next step, of course, is to invest in Ol Kalou. We are conscious of the fact that during this financial year, where we have plans to rehabilitate more hospitals, Ol Kalou District Hospital should ... view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am totally in agreement with hon. Kioni about the marginalization of Nyandarua County. As you know, the concept of “county” dates to the year 2010. Before that Nyandarua County or District was marginalized and the hon. Member knows the politics of that time. Even J.M. Kariuki Hospital that we are going to rename tomorrow suffered this marginalization which goes several years before even the Coalition Government came into being. view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: However, I am saying that the Ministry has a development budget which is not very big this year because we would have wanted more. I think we may have a development budget of about Kshs6 billion if we factor in development partners. But once we have that, we then look at all the demands from various district hospitals which are very many and we have to prioritize the most needy and where critical intervention is needed. I am quite sure that, that process has been done. But since the Question did not ask me to bring the figures as to ... view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us get our facts clear here. I said that the Ol Kalou Town Council requested us to rename the hospital as J.M. Kariuki Memorial Hospital, and the other people living there had no problem. I can read to you the services available at the Ol Kalou District Hospital. So, they are not really out of the ordinary. They are befitting of any district hospital. We have an outpatient department comprising two blocks, an x-ray department, a maternity, a male general ward, a female general ward, an amenity, a pharmacy, a theatre, two pediatric wards, administration ... view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me be as consistent as possible. I have repeated before that in 2010/2011, we carried out a baseline survey of all our district hospitals and their requirements, including this particular hospital. We submitted to the Treasury a requirement of Kshs8 billion to revamp all these facilities. Between us and the Treasury, we have agreed that that requirement be converted into an investment plan to seek funds from both the Government and development partners to improve our facilities, because it requires resources. In this year’s Budget, we were only allocated a limited sum of money, which ... view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is not difficult at all. I could request to be given until next Tuesday to furnish the House and the Member for the area with details of exactly how much resources we shall dedicate to Ol Kalou. I can to do that. I can give the House the information on Tuesday. view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he must have moved out. view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not in his conscience. I do not know why. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the debate on The Appropriation Bill. It is unfortunate that my dear friend, Mr. Chanzu is not here. He raised an issue on health in his contribution to this Bill. I wish he was here so that I could enlighten him. This is because he was referring to information that is at least 20 years old and not the current happenings and initiatives at the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). The main aim of insurance is to have a comprehensive social insurance cover for all ... view
