Justin Muturi) in the Chair] PRAYERS PETITIONS NON-ALLOCATION OF HEALTH SERVICES CONDITIONAL GRANTS TO UASIN GISHU COUNTY GOVERNMENT Hon. Speaker: Hon. Members, pursuant to Standing Order 225(2)(b), I wish to report to the House that I have received a petition from the leadership of the County Government of Uasin Gishu regarding non-allocation of health services conditional grants to the County Government of Uasin Gishu. Hon. Members, the Petition, which is co-signed by among others the Governor of Uasin Gishu County, H.E. Jackson K. Arap Mandago, and his deputy, holds that the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital has never received a conditional grant which is provided for under Article 202(2) of the Constitution. The petitioners aver that the elevation of the said hospital from Level 5 to Level 6 is the root cause of this funding stalemate that continues to deny county residents access to emergency, outpatient and inpatient services. Further, Hon. Members, the petitioners assert that the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital perennially struggles with underfunding, neglect and budget cuts, and is set to miss out on the Kshs4.3 billion earmarked for Level 5 hospitals under the health services conditional grant as contained in the Division of Revenue Act, 2020. Hon. Members, the petitioners are additionally convinced that the criteria used by the Ministry of Health to determine Level 5 hospital status such as availability of facilities and bed capacity is improper since it ignores other critical factors including hospital patients’ attendance rates.

  • In Kenyan Athletics
    EVERY MEDAL HAS TWO SIDES ‘EVERY MEDAL HAS TWO SIDES’ Modernization, Dependency and the role of ‘the West’ in Kenyan athletics Master’s Thesis Human Geography Luuk van den Boogaard s0142379 Supervisor: Ton van Naerssen 30 September 2007 __________________________________________________________________________1 _ EVERY MEDAL HAS TWO SIDES Abstract In this thesis the author wants to give an answer to the question ‘What’s the role of ‘the West’ on Kenyan athletics?’. In order to accomplish this, the author conducts his research at the level of Kenya’s national culture, the national athletic system, and the individual athlete. Three concepts, which he derives from theories, described in the theoretical framework, are applied to the different levels of research. The three concepts are the transition-concept, the growth-concept (based on modernization theory) and the empowerment-concept (based on dependency-theory). In the empirical part of the thesis these three concepts are tested in the case of Kenyan athletics. On the level of Kenya’s national culture it becomes clear that the introduction of athletics by the British colonizer led to the replacement of Kenya’s indigenous movement culture. The author concludes, though, that the athletic culture is not full-grown in Kenya. Dependency theorists criticise ‘Western imperialising powers’, trying to colonise the world with more and more adherents to participation in athletics. The disappointing result is that Kenyan athletics is only growing in long distance running. In relation to Kenya’s athletic culture some ‘empowerment’ strategies are described. On the level of the national athletic system in Kenya, the author concludes that a modern sports system has been established, but it’s malfunctioning.

Kenya therefore seeks to pursue its national interests in its relations with other countries through sports diplomacy to meet its foreign policy objectives. These foreign policy goals include integration, projection of Kenya’s image and prestige, regional peace and security, multilateralism, economic prosperity of Kenya and its people and protection of Kenya’s sovereignty and territory integrity.
