• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to duplication, I do not think it exists. Hon. Mungatana has referred to the fact that the KEMRI is mentioned twice, but it is quite clear that the Ministry of Medical Services is only represented as a member of the Board, which falls under the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation.

Again, in my response, I indicated that a meeting has been scheduled for 3rd June, this year where these issues will be discussed with the aim of resolving them. Finally, Mr. Wamalwa has raised the issue of supply of medicines and staff to his health centres. That responsibility is within the preserve of the Ministry of Medical Services. I will take it up with the Ministry of Medical Services to find out why his health centres do not have the required medicine and staff. Mr. Speaker, ... view
• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not think there is any need to defer any part of this Question. Indeed, as I have stated, we have addressed most of the matters raised. On top of it, I have stated that there is, indeed, intention to sit down and resolve these issues. It is in resolving the issues that decisions may be taken in line with what hon. Mungatana has said. That will be made clear to the public through Circular No.1 and indeed, through the media. I do not think there is any need to shelve any part of this Question. ... view
