• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also want to support the Alcoholic Drinks Control Bill, 2009. This Bill is long overdue. The main objective and purpose of the Bill is to provide the legal framework to control the production, sale and consumption of alcoholic drinks to protect the health of individuals. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, maybe because the Mover is here, the Bill should not only be about the control of production; it should also be for the control and regulation as well.

• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: . There is no limit to the extent to which this should be done. I was thinking that there should also be regulations, not only to control the production and drinking of view

Legislation should also cover the production and consumption of these beers that are produced by the so-called giant companies, which are just here to make profits and do not care about the welfare of the citizens. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry to say that recently, I was very amazed; people were running and I did not know who was right.

• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Minister for bringing out the guidelines that are necessary for these facilities to be upgraded to sub- district hospitals. But, Mr. Speaker, Sir, apart from the norms and standards, I would have felt that the Ministry would have expanded the criteria because there are many other considerations that should be taken into account, not only population. I am sure the Minister has considered this because he believes that Vihiga District Hospital is within that area. But I think what he is forgetting is that Vihiga District Hospital is almost like ... view
• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister consider allowing one of the health centres to be recommended to his office for upgrading? view
• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Minister for his assurance. Maybe we need to update some of the information. For example, Lyanaginga Health Centre now has electricity. I undertake to make sure that we upgrade, at least, one of these health centres into a sub-district hospital. view
• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has said that it is because of the fast rate at which districts have been created that we have shortage of DDOs.
