• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: As the Departmental Committee on Health we are not saying just reverse but we are saying that the national Government and the county government should consult because that is what the Constitution provides. Because we are serving the same citizens, let us consult and look at the services that the county governments are not able to provide adequately or are not properly funded. This will ensure that the national Government can fund and run those services because the Constitution provides that the Government must provide the highest standard of health care. If it is the responsibility of the Government to ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: In the current Budget, we have set aside Kshs3.4 billion for equipment of two facilities per county. If we are going to equip two facilities per county, how will we manage that? This is because we must manage both the leasing of the equipment and the training of the staff.

• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I remember that the Statement was sought last year, and there was a problem from the Ministry in terms of sending people there and giving us an answer. Therefore, we want to have adequate time, so that we can provide the hon. Member with a good reply. It is not us, as a Committee, who will go Nyeri to verify the facts. It is the Ministry which is supposed to give us the response. As I speak, they have not given us a response to the Statement request. Therefore, we would like to be given adequate time so ... view

• 12 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is a public petition by cancer patients of the Republic of Kenya on review of the Customs and Excise Act on Railway Development Fund and cancer drugs funding in the National Budget.

Speaker, the prayer of the petition continues as follows: Noting that the Glivec medicine is taken daily by cancer patients to keep blood cancer under control, failure to which they are prone to treatment breakdown, drug resistance due to mutation, necessitating the use of inadequate second line medicines, adverse side effects and ultimate death; noting that no budgetary provisions have been made under the National Health Plan to cancer medication, particularly the target therapy on chronic blood leukaemia and gastro intestinal stomach tumours that patients get; that, the situation is worsened by lack of sufficient ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Railway Development Levy but this has not been fruitful since the Customs and Excise Act does not provide for any exemptions under this levy; that, further efforts requesting the Ministry of Health to assist in obtaining Tasgina, which is a second line therapy for cancer patients resistant to Glivec has been unsuccessful; and noting that the issues in respect of this petition are not pending before any court of law or any constitutional or legal body, your humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly reviews the Customs and the Excise Act to allow for the exemption of donated drugs and ... view
