• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my current priority is to make sure that the sick are treated adequately and effectively. It is true that the dead have also to be taken care of. But in view of my limited resources, I would rather concentrate on the living than the dead. view
• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, some of the most important factors that are considered are the flow of patients into those institutions, the disease patterns, epidemics such as malaria and so on. If the population that needs treatment is big, the Ministry has to respond by doing just that.

• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Hon. Ojode cannot walk. Could you allow him to table the papers in a way he would be able to do so? view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, getting the list of nurses who have been recruited by the Government per constituency is a tall order. I beg for the indulgence of the House that I get more time to look for more information. view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, all Kenyans will testify the Dr. Machage is one of the busiest Assistant Ministers in this country. Maybe the others are idle, but I am never idle. view
