• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: how can we just say we slash that amount so that we can cover the Budget deficit? I think we are moving in the wrong direction. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I am not supporting that amendment. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for allowing me to second this Motion. First and foremost, I want to thank the Chair for the good work and the commitment towards this Committee and the good works the Committee Members have done. As I stand to contribute to this Motion, today in my constituency at around 12.00 noon, police officers shot a herd’s boy who was looking after cows. This was an unarmed young man of the age of about 12-13 years looking after cows without even a view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: He was shot on the back by a police officer who is based at the ADC Olkadongo and as we speak now, tension is very high within my area. We are appropriating money here to the police officers to be able to give protection to the citizens, but here they are nipping the lives of young citizens. This is a very sad event today in my constituency. I think the Inspector General of Police is listening very carefully because this is very critical. If we are going arm our police to be able to harm our civilians, then I think ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, last year or in this financial year, we did not have money for TB and malaria component. Money was sent to the county governments and the Ministry had to go an extra mile to get money to purchase drugs. The county governments did not purchase any TB or malaria drug and this is very unfortunate. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: This Committee visited several facilities. We visited the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Referral Hospital in Kisumu. We also visited Kakamega, Mombasa and Kilifi. Coast Provincial General Hospital, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and Kakamega Provincial General Hospital were supposed to get what we call conditional grants. This is money that was supposed to have been ring-fenced. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: As we speak today, the financial year is ending and those facilities are yet to receive all their amounts. Some of them have received maybe one-tenth of what they are supposed to receive. This is hampering service delivery within those places. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: In the Division of Revenue Bill that went to the Senate and is now going to the Mediation Committee, the discussion is where do the Level 5 hospitals get the money from? Do they get it from the national Government or they get it from the county governments? You will find that the Senate, being the protector of the county governments, is saying that the national Government should give money to these hospitals. If you discuss this with many of the governors, you find that they are in a position to effectively run health services at the Level 5 hospitals ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: The Constitution of Kenya protects against discrimination. We must have regional representation. Currently, as it stands Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) are the only national referral hospitals. This means that they are not equitably distributed all over the country. If you are coming from a certain region, you are not able to access these national referral services. Therefore, it is important that we are able to distribute all the national referral hospitals within the country. This can only happen through upgrading of those Level 4 and Level 5 facilities to national referral hospitals. I ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: In moving forward, the Constitution provides that the national Government shall provide technical assistance and capacity building to the county governments. If that is their role, then capacity building and technical assistance can be provided through Level 5 and Level 4 hospitals and also training of medical personnel so that they can take care of these services. This is important. view
