• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Most obliged, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg the indulgence of the Chair. This Question cuts across two Ministries and heavily leans towards the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation. The mitigation measures for TB are under the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation. I have discussed with our sister Ministry and we have agreed that they are going to answer this Question. view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Pauline Njeri Maina, Elizabeth Nyambura Maina and Catherine Wachuka Maina aged 11 years, seven years and nine years respectively, were burnt at Uplands in Lari Location and admitted into intensive care unit at Kenyatta National Hospital on 10th May, 2012. They were referred from Kijabe Hospital where they were initially attended to on 9th May, 2012. (b) I am also aware that one of the children Catherine Wachuka died on 19th May, 2012. (c)The cause of the fire was reportedly caused by an electrical fault. It may not ... view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, these children have not been discharged and we cannot start computing the bills. Once the indication that they will be charged is authorized by the relevant doctors, then we will do the necessary. If we do find that they cannot pay the bill, we will use our systems to make sure that they are discharged and the bill is waived. view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Bill was done and it was recommended to the Cabinet. So, it has not yet come out from the Cabinet. Once it is done, it will come to this House and I will urge my fellow hon. Members to pass this Bill so as to minimize the pain and suffering of our people. view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we cannot say that we will waive the bills since these two children are still undergoing treatment. Before we compute the bill, we must get the authority from the doctor who is attending to these two patients so that we can compute the bill. We do not know how much the bill is right now. When we get to know the total bill, then we will determine whether we will waive it or not. As for now, these two children are still undergoing treatment. view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is true. For now, there is the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF), which helps in the payment of such bills. However, we will prepare the policy in the future. view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will start with the first question. I do not know how long it takes for a Bill that has been committed to the Cabinet to get to Parliament. As we all know, the Cabinet has its own schedule of meetings as well as their own agenda but I do not think it takes so long. view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: On the second question, we actually asked for budgetary allocation to settle these bills. In fact, hon. Mbau is the Chairman of the Budget Committee of this House. We submitted a request to the Treasury for resources to clear all the pending mortuary bills, but our request was thrown out. So, as I speak now, we do not have budgetary allocation for pending bills in respect of mortuary fee. The pending bills at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) have accumulated to Kshs1 billion. So, it is quite pathetic. We once made a proposal to the Treasury, but it was thrown ... view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we will do so through the Budget of the next financial year. We tried to comply through the current Budget, but our proposal to Treasury was thrown out. view
