• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is part of our programme. However, in this case, we have initiated a programme because we want to upgrade most of the facilities to sub-districts hospitals. So, as a Ministry, we are going to consider and see how fast we can send means of transport for this officer to move from one health centre to another, so that we can conclude this issue once and for all. view

• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we talk of North Horr which has a large area, we can put up so many health facilities, but every constituency is a district. We are asking for more sub-district hospitals to be upgraded to district hospitals, but we cannot do that if we do not have the necessary funds. In the meantime, every hon. Member should contribute at least Kshs5 million, so that we can add Kshs5 million as a Ministry, to make it Kshs10 million to improve on the infrastructure, so that it is easier for us to upgrade these facilities to district ... view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the size of the constituency does not fall under the Ministry of Medical Services. What falls under the Ministry of Medical Services are the facilities where people are treated. view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am holding discussions with the Chairman, CDF Committee and sooner than later, all hon. Members will receive letters. At the Ministerial level, we have discussed and passed it. That is the only way we can develop and upgrade our district hospitals. We realized that the funds in the Budget are not sufficient. The only way we can do it is to cost-share between the Ministry and hon. Members. So, we are very much ready. view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I say it will happen soon, it means sooner than later. So, once I am back in the Ministry, I will talk to the Provincial Director and I am sure we are going to sort out that problem. view
