• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to know how much money we are receiving from the World Bank under Phase II. From the answer, the Assistant Minister has indicated that we shall have district co-ordination committees.

• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Vote. I would like to say that this is a very important Ministry. If it takes care of its role very well, then this country will have very little problems in health care. In my contribution to this Vote, I want to focus on the provision of data and information on various diseases. If this Ministry has to reach out to the people, information is very important. In this regard, I would like to see this Ministry developing a comprehensive digital health database which is GIS-based, so ... view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when it comes to the issue of distribution of drugs in the country, there should be a criterion on how they are distributed. The most logical way to distribute the drugs effectively is to, first of all, establish the disease prevalence in the country so that you know where particular diseases are very prevalent so that when you are distributing the drugs, you provide drugs according to areas that are more vulnerable. So, mapping of diseases of the country should be there. We need to see simple maps of the country showing the distribution of ... view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, one area where I want to highlight and which has not been given a lot of preference, although it is an area of great importance is the issue of jiggers. Jiggers are a major problem but unfortunately, we do not highlight it. I do not understand why. We need to have a clear policy on this major menace and disease called “jiggers” because they are all over. We do not have any serious policy or programme on this disease. I would like to see the Ministry coming up with a very serious programme on jiggers. ... view

• 18 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for the good answer. I would like to say that it has covered what I needed. However, given that Luanda is one of the busiest towns in Western Kenya in terms of transport--- all vehicles plying from Nairobi pass through Luanda. It is, therefore, important that the bus park be constructed. When does he think he can consider making a temporary bus park as they prepare the tender documents for the final construction of the park so that, that bus park can be used by the vehicles that ... view
• 18 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very happy with the answer he has given me but I would like to know when he is going to give the order for the demolition of the stalls that are hindering transport business in Luanda. I am aware the Town Council made a resolution to demolish the stalls but to date, they have not done so. What assurance is he giving me that they will demolish the stalls that are obstructing transport in the town? view
