• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: A lot has been said about health workers. I would also imagine that training a health worker such as a medical doctor or nurse is very expensive. But currently, most of our health workers are looking for greener pastures in other countries. It has come to a point where some countries even do not invest in training these medical staff. They just wait for Kenya to train them and then absorb them in their health sector. That is why we have a lot of brain drain from our health sector. The medical staff seeks better jobs overseas. view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to comment on the stimulus package, to allocate Kshs20 million to every constituency to establish a model health centre. I would imagine that the Ministry will not overlook MPs during implementation view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Energy:- (a) how many electricity transformers have been vandalized in Machakos Town Constituency in the last one year; (b) the total cost of the loss through this act of vandalism; and, (c) what steps he is taking to curb this practice. view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for being very frank and showing the level of vandalism of transformers in Machakos District. However, could the Assistant Minister tell this House how many suspects have been apprehended and charged in a court of law? Considering that Machakos Town Constituency alone has lost transformers worth Kshs36 million, what is the approximate loss country-wide? view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Now that the Assistant Minister has confirmed the alarming state of the theft of transformers, could he also confirm that this could also be a cartel by the KPLC staff and people in the market who deal in commodities like oil and copper wire? Could he assure us that he will employ modern technology and put alarm systems so that we can stop this practice? view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just wanted to challenge the Assistant Minister. When he said that he cannot confirm that the staff of KPLC is involved, we have to realize that dealing with a transformer requires a professional to do that--- view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Is he in order to mislead this House that the theft of transformers is not carried out by professionals? It is only KPLC people who are professionals. view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to know from the Assistant Minister whether the Kenyan Government will co-ordinate with the other East African countries to set up a fertilizer factory because we have raw materials like phosphate in Tanzania which can be used to start a factory. view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Special Programmes the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Could the Minister confirm that Machakos Town Constituency is currently allocated only 2,000 bags of relief maize per month? (b) Could the Minister urgently consider increasing relief food ration in the constituency, considering the level of poverty and current famine and, considering further that, about 50 per cent of the population is dependent on relief food? view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for attempting to answer the Question. However, it is unfortunate that the Ministry is not taking care of more than 400,000 residents of Machakos District. My constituency with a population of 200,000 gets only 1,000 bags of maize. Does he expect a person to survive on half a kilogramme of maize per month? view
