Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we do take note of your ruling and appreciate your wisdom. Would it not be in order for you to apologise to the Government side for denying it 10 minutes?

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Even as I congratulate the Minister for Health for a job well done, I would like to take this October 17, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2971 opportunity to announce to the whole country, on the Floor of this House, that the reports that appeared in the media today, that some hospitals in Rift Valley Province and Nyanza Province have no drugs are total lies and a fallacy.

I apologise, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for using unparliamentary language. As I was saying, the report appearing in the media today that there is a shortage of drugs in Rift Valley Province and Nyanza Province is totally untrue.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I personally thought that it was prudent to do that now. However, I will follow the rules of the House.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. My Ministry does not have immediate plans to open the medical training college at Kapenguria. Budgetary allocations are not available for recruitment of tutors and overall operations and management. However, I encourage the District Development Committee to continue to supervise the completion of the building of the facility and especially, the physical structures in consultation with the Kenya Medical Training College.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I, indeed, sent a team from the Kenya Medical Training College to inspect the facility and these were my findings: There was one classroom of 36 students, three officers, a kitchen, a dining hall, a hostel with 37 rooms, a store, a washing room and an ablution unit of four bathrooms and four toilets. Indeed, we would require at least three classrooms if we have to have a three-year course for the students. It is common sense that the facilities available there are not enough. However, common sense is not always common.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the available facilities are not adequate for a medical training college. In an ideal situation, you need to have at least three classrooms to cater for students in the first year, second year and third year of the training. We need similar facilities for accommodation and a dining room, kitchen and recreational facilities. I thought that was common sense!

Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me summarise it this way: The facility is not yet ready for the opening of a college.
