• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: With emergency matters that are coming up today, many disasters including bomb blasts are being seen. All the victims of these disasters end up at Kenyatta National Hospital or Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. So, we would like to see serious funding to these institutions. Cancer patients line up at the Kenyatta National Hospital with no information when such hospital will get funding cancer equipment. When such an institution is not being given priority it deserves, we have to raise our voices as a Committee so that we are heard. The Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee should expect ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Committee on Health, together with the Ministry, to come forward because these institutions need support. view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I would also like to talk about funding at the county level and the fact that our counties need to be given proper oversight by the Senate. That is when we reflect on what is happening in our counties today and the kind of projects being implemented. If you visit most of our counties today, you will find that most of the projects that can be identified were funded by CDF. I feel that more needs to be done to ensure that corruption is seriously dealt with at the county level. This can be handled very well by the Senate ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Another matter which has been raised by the Departmental Committee on Health is the upgrading of the slums, a very popular project. As a Committee, we feel that this project has two approaches. It has the Ministry of Health approach and the devolution approach. If we look at the initial Budget of Kshs300 million that was appropriated in the 2014/2015 Financial Year, we find that the Ministry was able to do nine clinics. On the current requisition of Kshs1 billion, I would like to be bold and support my Committee that that amount was in excess and it needs to ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I would also like to digress a bit and touch on the donor funded projects. We are over relying on donor funds for very important projects like the HIV/AIDS. Today, we are still waiting for the Total War against Aids (TOWAA) funds since they were stopped by donors. view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House today Thursday, 23rd April, 2015:- The Report of the Departmental Committee on Health on its consideration of the Traditional Health Practitioners Bill, 2014. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. I beg to table the Report. view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to support the Motion raised by the Chairperson, hon. Amina Abdalla. First of all, I congratulate her for being vigilant and tackling matters of environment and all the related issues in a professional way. I would like to focus on the issue of NEMA. The institution of NEMA handles various functions including matters of policy and research touching on various Ministries. view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The Committee has made a very good conclusion that we need to support as a House and ensure that we do not set a precedent by allowing such an amendment which is going to affect the work of NEMA in this country. Hon. Speaker, I would like to say that this is equal to usurping the powers of the national Government. We know that NEMA is a national Government institution which is supposed to give support to all counties and this is going against Schedule Four which is very clear on the functions of the national Government and functions of ... view
