"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to welcome the students from various schools who have visited Parliament. Visiting Parliament is a great opportunity for children to learn how it operates and how laws are made and how this arm of Government functions. When I was a small boy, I used to visit Parliament quite often. But I never knew that one day, I would sit here as a Member of Parliament. So, I encourage the young ones who have visited Parliament and assure them that whatever vision they have in their hearts will come to pass. Any of them who wishes to one day be a Member of Parliament, I encourage them that it is possible and they will be great men and women in this country. I encourage them to pursue their education with great energy and commitment, so that one day, they can realise their dreams. There is one school in my constituency called Baricho Boys’ High School. It is one of the best schools in this country. It is an extra-county school. I am very happy to have them here. I encourage them to continue pursuing their academic goals with zeal and resilience. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health regarding the lack of facilities specialising in the treatment of endometriosis. Endometriosis is a gynaecological condition which affects an estimated 176 million women worldwide, according to the National Institutes of Health, and remains a leading cause of infertility and chronic pelvic pain. Notably, many women in Kenya who are suffering from endometriosis have raised concerns that due to lack of facilities specialising in its treatment and trained personnel, their diagnosis of the condition is enormously delayed for years. Furthermore, victims of endometriosis bear the overwhelming burden of exorbitant costs that are associated with acquiring treatment for the condition. While endometriosis is not usually considered fatal, in rare circumstances, it can precipitate life-threatening complications. The late Ms Jahmby Koikai is an endometriosis warrior, whose condition worsened over the years, until she suffered a collapsed lung from thoracic endometriosis, thus necessitating specialised surgery. It is, therefore, with a heavy heart that many people mourn the loss of that great woman, following her demise on 4th June 2024, after battling her condition with remarkable fortitude while also publicly raising awareness on the condition. I wish to convey my heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and all who grieve the loss of the late Ms Jahmby Koikai. The people of Kenya have lost a truly exceptional lady who advocated for reproductive health rights for women and brought profound awareness on endometriosis to improve better health care for the women with the condition. It is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health on the following: 1. State the number of facilities in the country that specialise in endometriosis treatment, their location and whether such facilities carry out public awareness programmes on the condition? 2. Outline the measures that have been put in place by the Ministry of Health to facilitate public hospitals with specialised training on the treatment of endometriosis so as to provide better health care to women in the country? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
