• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Maralal District Hospital Mortuary cannot adequately serve the larger Samburu District. (b) The Ministry has no immediate plans for funding the expansion of the facility. Our priorities are rehabilitation of existing infrastructure and expansion of the hospital’s capacity to enable it discharge its core mandate of preserving life. The mortuary at Maralal District Hospital, just like those in other public hospitals, is primarily a holding facility where bodies generated from hospital’s operations can be stored on a temporary basis pending retrieval for disposal or transfer to other ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a very genuine question. I will look at the facilities in the hon. Member’s area. If they are health centres, then I will see whether I can upgrade one of them to a sub-district hospital and set up a mortuary wing. Our core mandate is to build hospitals and other infrastructure. The hon. Member’s case is quite pathetic. I will look which facility to upgrade in his constituency and start a mortuary there. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, most of these facilities were upgraded, but the situation then was political. However, as a Ministry, we have a policy that each and every sub-district hospital should have a mortuary. So, the only problem we have is lack of funds. We have captured this in the next financial year. I am sure if we are given the money, we will upgrade these facilities and build the mortuaries the hon. Member is talking about. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of that incident. However, I will investigate that issue and report back to Parliament. If it is true bodies are not handled in a dignified manner, action will be taken against the officers concerned. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, I am not aware. However, I will investigate this case. If there are people who are doing so, they will be punished according to the law. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a very genuine question. But as I earlier said, our policy is that people should collect the bodies of their relatives within 24 hours. However, the Government has encountered so many problems. Sometimes we have had to waive these bills as a Government. If our people will adhere to the rule of collecting the bodies of their relatives within 24 hours, then the Government will be very happy and we encourage this. Sometimes relatives do not have the necessary funds or even coffins to bury their dead and this is why bodies end up ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir that will be considered along with others. I want to thank the hon. Member for doing such a wonderful job to the country. Thank you. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The list of persons employed by NHIF in the past three years, indicating their respective constituencies and districts of origin is hereby tabled. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: (b) For managerial positions, applications are invited through the print media, citing the qualifications required. Successful applicants are subjected to competitive interviews to rank them. Thereafter, the available posts are filled on the basis of a merit score of the applicants. For lower level posts, NHIF uses applications stored in its data base. Whenever posts arise, only five applicants from the data base are subjected to competitive interviews and then recruited in the order of merit. (c) At present, the NHIF emphasizes on merit when filling vacancies. However, the health sector is presently reviewing its employment policy to ensure, among ... view
