• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also thank Sen. Orengo who also gave good insights on this Motion. The main idea is that we enhance it to a Bill and make sure that it is implemented. I have always said that Kenya is full of many good things, for example, reports and paper work which are done well. We are recognized for doing a good job, but we lack implementation. I also extend my gratitude to Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. who apart from supporting the Motion, he said that we should make the issue of remuneration come out clearly to make ... view
• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I was moving this Motion, what I initially said was that if you compare the number of doctors and health workers that we have to the number of patients, it is very low. One doctor attends to 17,000 Kenyans. That is not possible. We have so many nurses, but if you compare the number of nurses to the population we have, the numbers are so big. I gave all the figures that we have in the health sector in terms of doctors, clinical officers and nurses. As a nation, we cannot move and give our ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, mine is very short. In fact, when you read your statement, 98 per cent of it and then within the three per cent, you made your ruling. I was sort of put aback and thought; did somebody make a phone call? view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is what came into mind. However, it is very clear that would have been the original ruling on this matter. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move- THAT, AWARE THAT county health facilities, and the promotion of primary health care are devolved functions, and each county government is striving to offer the best healthcare to the people of Kenya; The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: COGNIZANT THAT, the provision of healthcare services is continuously riddled with numerous challenges ranging from understaffing of personnel to inadequate facilities and equipment resulting in congestion in hospitals further restricting effective service delivery; NOTING THAT every Kenyan has a right to affordable and accessible healthcare, and the President has launched a pilot universal health care program called “Afya Care” that will see many Kenyans access improved healthcare; CONCERNED THAT, the diverse nature of counties and wanting infrastructural development is compromising the quality and accessibility of health centres especially during emergency situations, resulting in the loss of many lives occasioned by ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Kenya population grows by more than 3,200 every day but that does not match the rate at which the doctors are being trained in this nation. When the specialists and general practitioner doctors are combined, the national ratio for doctors is 1.5:10,000 patients. In health financing, Kenya is ranked 140 out of 190 according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) system. That is the difference between us and the leading countries in health financing. This has greatly affected other components of our healthcare. According to the WHO, as at August, 2014 Human Resource for Health Staffing Norms and Standards by ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: volunteers, but for how long can an individual volunteer on an issue like health care? It is upon the county government to make sure that the citizens are taken care of in terms of medical facilities and medical care. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: It is very clear that we do not have the statistics for the community health workers. The figures are very many, but a county like Kisumu has approximately 3,000 community healthy workers. These people move from village to village and home to home. When I was serving in the last Parliament, I had a connection with a hospital from Maryland. They wanted to train community health workers. Apart from training, they are also supposed to have equipment. As at now, they rely on guess work. They will look at a child, maybe hold the hand or chest and say that ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: County Government of Kisumu has started giving out some stipend to community health workers. It was done for three months and that was the end of it. If we want the President and the nation to succeed in matters health care, we must be serious with it. We are not going to develop our nation when we know that a sick person cannot do anything. If you gave me everything else and I am sick, I would not even be able to eat. When we talk about food security, manufacturing and any other agenda that the national Government may have, ... view
