• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at this budget you will see that we were given a lot of money to recruit doctors, nurses and clinical officers.

As a matter of policy, we will prepare a paper to the Cabinet so that recruitment is done from the constituency level. view

Given this budgetary allocation and considering the estimated cost of a well equipped trauma centre, which is above Kshs4 billion, it will be practically unrealistic to promise this House that immediate procurement is going to be achieved. view
