• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: their allegiance to the commissioners who recruited them. It means whether you find them incompetent or not, you are not the commissioners who recruited them. We need to adhere to the Constitution and make sure that the commissioners we are going to appoint vet the secretariat staff and see who they want to retain and who should go. That way we will ensure that there are reforms in the secretariat. The police service has undergone a vetting process, but what about the EACC? We still retain the same Commission staff that was there. Therefore, it is business as usual. So, ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Hon. Kaluma has made a very serious mistake. It is not a joke to call Hon. Kang’ata gay. That is very wrong. That should be--- view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just wanted to say that I support this Motion by Hon. (Ms.) Muhia. This exercise should be extended all over the country. However, we also want to make sure that those within areas which have not been affected should be on the lookout for any suspicious lorries which are carrying illicit liquor. Secondly, we want the list showing the second-generation alcohol that we are dealing with to be made public. That should be made public so that anybody who is doing legitimate business is not harmed. Lastly, busaa is not second-generation alcohol. It ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the Motion be amended by deleting the word ‘constituency’ appearing immediately after the word ‘every’ on the seventh line and inserting therefor the word ‘county’. view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: My reason is that we want to make it as realistic as possible. In the Republic of Kenya, we have six national blood transfusion services. I do not want Members to confuse blood transfusion services with a blood bank. “A blood bank” is where you have a refrigerator in which blood is kept at a temperature of 4 degrees. Every facility can have a blood bank as long as it has transfusion facilities and a laboratory technician who is able to do blood grouping and cross- merging. That is what a blood bank is. When we talk about “a National ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Initially, when this country was divided into provinces we were putting them at the provincial levels. Now that we have gone the county way, it becomes logistically very difficult for somebody who is in Lodwar to come and collect blood from Nakuru. That has been very difficult. That is why in Rift Valley, we had one in Nakuru and another one at the MTRH. It is unrealistic when we say that we want to establish blood transfusion services at the constituency level. We can only contemplate establishing them at the county level so that within every county, you can have ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: The second issue relates the ICUs which we have at the KNH and the MTRH. In the current proposed equipping of facilities, they are being put at the former provincial hospitals plus four high volume hospitals that is Kisii Level 5 Hospital, Machakos Level 5 Hospital and others. We are not realistic if we propose now that we want to have ICUs at the constituency level. Even with the current equipping of the medical facilities to have an ICU at the county level could still be a tall order. This is because you should think in terms of personnel. You ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the first time, issues of blood transfusion are captured in the current Health Bill. I do not see a problem in implementing this Motion by Hon. Dawood. It will be realistic for us to propose, but we will ask the Committee on Implementation together with us in the Committee on Health, to follow it up and see that it is implemented. With those few remarks, I want to ask the Member for Sigowet/Soin, Hon. Kemei, to second. view
