• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: With regard to the status of facilities under the Economic Stimulus Programme; as at the end of the Financial Year, 2012/2013, 129 Economic Stimulus Facilities have been completed. This represents about 65 per cent of the completion of the targeted sites countrywide. The rest of the sites are in progress and none had stalled as at that time.

• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: From July, 2013, health services including infrastructure projects were devolved to the country governments. Assessment of the ESP projects could not be carried out in the Financial Year, 2013/2014 due to lack of funds and consensus with the counties on this subject. All the funds that were returned to National Treasury as unspent for the Model Health, ESP, as at the end of the Financial Year, 2012/2013, were devolved with health Services. Thereafter, respective project committees were supposed to liaise with county governments for allocation of funds to complete the projects. view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, our comprehensive status of ESP facilities can only be given after fresh assessment, incorporation with the Ministry of Public Works and Housing and the county health officers is done. As per the timeline when the projects will be completed and allocated staff and equipment, as at the end of 2012/2013 Financial Year, 9,230 staff had been recruited out of the establishment which was projected to be 10,500. This left a gap of 1,270 staff and out of that number, 982 were supposed to be nurses, seven community extension workers, 281 public health officers and public health ... view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the then districts conducted the final recruitment but it was not confirmed whether the gaps were filled. That is because it was supposed to have been done through the county governments. It is, therefore, the responsibility of the project committee so liaise with the county governments and deploy recruited ESP staff to ESP Model Health Centres in order to operationalise them. view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: As for the equipment which was planned for the ESP facilities, this had been procured at the end of 2012/2013 Financial Year and all facilities that were 80 per cent complete or above, were issued with their supplies. Considering that ESP facilities are now under the county governments, the Ministry of Health is not in a position to give the timelines on completion and operationalization of any of the pending ESP projects. view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: That is community health extension workers. view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, to answer hon. Serut, we did not have a sitting with the Cabinet Secretary because the question that was asked was on the status of facilities under the ESP and the timeline when those projects would be completed and allocated staff and equipment. But the issues that have been raised by hon. Members are pertinent. We are aware that there are contractual obligations in as far as ESP is concerned, where contractors did not complete projects. From my report, we have said that 64 per cent of the projects were completed. That means that 36 per ... view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: the equipment. This is an issue that we can look at, as a Committee, and further interrogate the Cabinet Secretary, Health, and see how we can move forward. view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, hon. Iringo said that the Economic Stimulus Programme was meant to benefit the people, and his question was combined with hon. Serut’s about pending bills and projects that were incomplete. The only issue that was raised by hon. Ochada is that he felt that the answer was unsatisfactory. However, I wish he could first internalize the Constitution because once we have most of the facilities devolved, then it becomes a challenge. We must consult with the county governments on those projects. We are aware of the flagship projects that were anchored on Vision 2030, and I ... view
