"content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health regarding the alarming rise of illegal organ harvesting, particularly kidney harvesting, in Eldoret City and its environs. Hon. Speaker, in June 2024, a distressing case was reported to my constituency office by Mrs Leah Chepkorir regarding her 22 years old son, Amon Kipruto Melly. According to the report, her son's kidney was harvested at Mediheal Hospital after he was lured by the facility with an offer to donate the organ at a fee of Ksh600,000. Thereafter, he developed medical complications associated with organ harvesting. Tragically, Mr Kipruto now lives with lifelong health challenges. He remains unproductive and dependent on continuous medical care as his quality of life has been severely compromised. Subsequently, this incident was reported to Langas Police Station under OB No.41, dated 31st August 2024. In the report, Amon alleged that he and other young men were first transported to Mombasa and thereafter smuggled across the border to a neighbouring country in a series of suspicious meetings. This indicates the existence of not just a localised criminal operation, but a transnational organ trafficking syndicate. This is just one among many undocumented cases of illegal organ harvesting by a syndicate operating within our country and internationally. Multiple reports have implicated Mediheal Hospital, which is claimed to be facilitating illegal kidney transplants and organ trafficking, raising significant concerns about possible 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."

"content": "collusion between the hospital and criminal syndicates who exploit medical infrastructure for illicit organ trade. Notably, on 18th April 2025, the founder of Mediheal Hospital was suspended as the Biovax chairperson, pending investigations into allegations of illegal kidney transplant procedures at Mediheal Hospital and Fertility Centre in Eldoret. The legal framework governing organ harvesting in Kenya is outlined in Section 80 of the Health Act, Cap 241. This legislation stipulates penalties of up to Ksh10 million or imprisonment for up to 10 years for organ harvesting or trafficking. However, these penalties appear insufficient to deter perpetrators of this illicit trade, which operates in secrecy and in cahoots with international syndicates. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson Departmental Committee on Health addressing the following: 1. The current status of investigations regarding the case of Amon Melly reported at Langas Police Station. 2. The scope and status of investigations into the allegations of illegal kidney harvesting by Mediheal Hospital. 3. The measures being implemented to ensure compliance with ethical standards and national laws reported regarding organ donations and transplants by healthcare institutions. 4. A report on the identity and activities of both local and international criminal syndicates involved in illegal organ harvesting, including strategic initiatives undertaken to dismantle these networks. 5. The protective measures being implemented to safeguard vulnerable populations from illegal organ trade. 6. The comprehensive support framework established for victims and survivors of organ harvesting, including compensation, medical care and counselling services, along with specific rehabilitation programmes currently in place or planned for implementation. Hon. Speaker, I raised this Statement on 28th November 2024. Again, it has been upheld in the media."
