• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to support this Motion. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion by the Hon. David Ouma Ochieng. Health care in this country is a critical issue that should be put among the top priorities. When this nation got its Independence in 1963, the founding fathers of this country talked about three issues; health, ignorance and poverty. Fifty years down the road, health is not still a priority in this nation. As we saw in the Budget allocations, it was given 7 per cent, which is way below the WHO and the Abuja recommendations of 15 per cent. We are ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Japan, the blood transfusion is a function of the Red Cross. We have self-donors who walk into the blood donation centres and donate their blood. Blood has several products. We are talking of blood products which are required for transfusion and other blood products which can be used even as medicine for other cases. Our country needs to move towards that direction. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you talk about our rural facilities, for instance, in Endebess Constituency, we have a sub-district hospital, one health centre and three dispensaries which were built through the CDF, but are dysfunctional. If you go to a health centre or dispensary, you find only one staff. Recently, a recruitment exercise was carried out under the ESP programme when Members were busy campaigning. This was hurriedly done and I think it was not properly done because the Members were not involved. I urge the Members that when they go back to their constituencies, they should see ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hospital, the Kenyatta National Hospital and the Kenya Medical Research Institute and their employees. If this is not sorted out soon, we are going to see our nurses and doctors back to the streets. That will not be good for us. It will be a let down to this House. I beg to support the Motion. view

• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this debate. I stand here to oppose the Motion because, for me, the role of the Nyayo Tea Zones is a national function, which is part of soil conservation efforts. If we have to privatise it--- view
• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. What I was saying is that I oppose the Motion in the format in which it is. My opposition is based on the fact that devolving the agro-based parastatals to the counties at this period of transition would be devolving problems to the counties. One of the things found even within the agro-based parastatals is that the source of the raw materials is not just limited within those counties. They get raw materials from other counties as well. So, that means even justification for the setting up of the factory itself in a particular county ... view
• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I am very close here and you may not be able to see me. Thanks a lot and I appreciate. I want to contribute to this Motion and thank the Leader of Majority Party for the reply to the question that was raised by the hon. Member for Garsen. That was a good presentation. But the hon. Member for Garsen is not satisfied. It would have been prudent if they had met before and raised the issues that he is trying to raise on the Floor. Some of those issues could have been looked into ... view
