• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg the indulgence of the House. This Question needs a comprehensive answer. This morning my officers were really working on this Question. I urge you that I answer this Question most probably by tomorrow. view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me also join my colleagues in supporting this very important Bill. The National Security Council is a very important organ in this country. As you are all aware, Kenya is a young democracy and decisions have got to be collective and be made by such an organ. In this age of internet and e-mail, everything can be done collectively by this very important organ.

• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to answer this Question although I have not furnished the hon. Member with a written answer. I have, however, discussed this with him. You will remember that Monday was a public holiday; so, this Question went to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) today, but it is something I can handle because I have already addressed it with my Permanent Secretary. view

Indeed, the Permanent Secretary has done a letter to the Chief Executive, KNH, for this body to be released. This is because it is uneconomical to detain the body. If we were to go ahead and bury the body, this would not make economic sense. Therefore, the body will be released, probably by tomorrow. view
• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a Ministry we have dealt with this issue, and we have issued directives that those people who cannot raise the necessary fees for their dead bodies of their relatives should have the bodies released to them with immediate effect. view

• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have not been inflating figures. Once a patient passes on, the body is taken to the mortuary. I think that as a Government, and particularly the KNH, we have been spending money to buy chemicals to preserve these bodies. As a Government we have tried to minimize the pain. We have come up with a policy that all those who will not be able to pay hospital bills, we are going to intervene. We have waived some of the bills on several occasions. We will continue doing so. view
• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes as a Ministry we did a Cabinet Paper and it is sitting at the Cabinet office. As a Ministry, we do not have the calendar of the Cabinet and their work schedules. view
• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it has not been our policy to sell these collateral like land and motor vehicles. It was just a way of guaranteeing that payment would be made. As Dr. Eseli mentioned, all these problems are going to be addressed once the Bill is approved by the Cabinet and this House. view
