• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I would like to support this Motion and thank the Mover, Hon. Ochieng, for moving it. I would like to say that it has come at the right time because the Departmental Committee on Health, together with the Ministry of Health have been deliberating this matter.

• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to support this Motion and say that the Ministry of Health has serious priority areas that were not funded. Some of them include recruitment of health workers including the absorption of intern doctors and Bachelor of Science and Diploma nurses. The deficit is Kshs1.5 billion. This is something that needs to be taken up quickly. We also have a shortfall on the provision of free maternal healthcare due the fact that the 2010 policy is being implemented in our clinics today. This creates a shortfall of Kshs3.7 billion in the Ministry of Health. view

The question is: Is this country ready for another strike by nurses? view
