We should see the broader picture of this Bill. First of all, we should find out why there is corruption. Kenya has a great history and heritage in this world. Kenya is growing every day. It has great people. It is a very mature democracy with advanced technology and infrastructure. It is the only country which has shown mature democracy in Africa today. It has moved from a single party rule to multi-party politics; from autocracy to democracy. It is the only Third World country in the world which allowed the re- run of the presidential vote. We have the ...

ticket. I am not saying we gun down our people, but we have to make strong and stiff rules to streamline rules and regulations. Rules and regulations are not meant to punish people but rather, they are meant to save and protect the good people in the nation as a whole. We must have a strong foreign policy. There is international funding for our country. People come to our country. There is a country I will not name here, but if it gives out, say, Kshs100, Kshs50 will be gone. The same country will take part in tender and there ...

I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Health on the Status of National Referral Hospitals, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 9th May 2019.

i) Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital; ii) National Spinal Injury Hospital; iii) Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital; iv) Kenyatta National Hospital. You will remember that the Committee had earlier tabled its Report on the newest and 5th referral hospital, the Kenyatta University Teaching and Referral Hospital earlier in the year and the House adopted the Report. Among the recommendations of that Report was that the Treasury was to release funds to jumpstart operations of the hospital, to ease pressure on Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). I am glad the Treasury and the House passed this resolution in the just concluded ...

The only major mental health hospital in Kenya, the Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital, does not meet international standards based on the entire status of the facility, including services offered and the staff ratio. It lacks standards for a functional health institution. The hospital has an acute shortage of staff in all cadres. The available staff does not meet international ratios. For example, at the maximum-security unit, one female nurse is in charge of 147 patients.
