"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will be very brief in commenting on this statement sought by Sen. Oketch Gicheru on the issue of insurance of health facilities in his County of Migori. This is not an issue of Migori alone, it has spread countrywide. Some people working in the public service do not understand the importance of insuring public property. In a county like mine, you will find that a hospital does not have a title deed and they do not even care about it. Insuring public assets is very important. Some people would say I do not care, if anything happens, the Government will pay. The Government is you. It is the people who will pay for something, which they should not have paid for. Insurance should have compensated them. Therefore, when the Committee investigates this matter, it should be taken seriously. It should be across the board to cover almost all counties. This is a principle that many counties do not want to follow. They do not want to insure public property. Sometimes, even Government vehicles are not insured. People do not take public property seriously. They think it is something that belongs to the public. I stress the importance of covering public property, particularly health facilities with insurance. The Committee should be very thorough in doing its work on this particular one. Thank you."

"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will make a quick comment on the statement by Sen. Hamida. Indeed, there is great concern in the health sector about the rise of AMR. This includes increasing resistance to antifungals, antibiotics and antivirals. This whole group is put together as antimicrobial resistance. This means that the normal medication that we use to treat colds, coughs, cuts et cetera, if there is resistance to treatment on these organisms, then we, as a country, are headed in the wrong direction. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "As the Committee looks at this, they should investigate the role of public information in public campaigns. People have created a habit of buying over-the-counter medication. They take a few antibiotics for two or three days and do not complete the dosage. They are never informed about the dangers of not finishing the antibiotic dose. We then have a problem because these antibiotics become resistant. The Committee ought to look into the role of public health information services within this country. What can the director do to help, especially within counties that are far-placed like Tana River? May the Committee also investigate how this is infecting our animals. For us who come from counties that keep animals, this is a growing concern. Resistance to treatment is becoming a real concern because some of these animals face the same problems of incomplete dosages, lack of information and lack of proper diagnosis. I pray that the Committee on Health will properly engage, so that our people can benefit. I thank you."

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity. I support the statements by Sen. Hamida Kibwana and Sen. Eddy Oketch. It is regrettable that our people are getting a lot of resistance from the use of antibiotics. It is painful that she has brought up the statement, especially on the impact on child health in Kenya. However, the resistance may not only be limited to children, but to all age groups. I ask myself where the public health department, the preventative arm of health, that deals with prevention is. This must have been foreseen. This could be aggravated by the fact that most patients buy over-the-counter drugs from chemists that we have all over the country. I keep asking myself why people are allowed to purchase antibiotics from chemists for use. The kind of usage must have led to the resistance that we are talking about. This must be looked into. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the statement by Sen. Eddy Oketch, it is unfortunate that our county governments, not particularly Migori, but all our county governments, do not insure some of these facilities. It is in good governance that our governors and the executive look into insuring some of this, so that we can forestall losses in the event anything happens. I support this statement and thank you for this opportunity."

Kuna uwezekano kwamba zinatumiwa vibaya au visivyo. Yale madawa hutumika kuua bakteria katika miili yetu aidha kwa wanyama au binadamu, ikitumiwa isivyofaa au watumie generic, zinatuletea matatizo. Ila tuko na taasisi husika zinafaa kuhakikisha kwamba dawa zinazoingia nchini ni za hali ya juu na zikitumika zitafanya kazi ipasavyo. Umuhimu wa dawa ni kuponya na umuhimu wa sabuni ni povu.

Naibu wa Spika, la mwisho nikuchangia taarifa iliyoletwa na Seneta wa Migori. Utaona kwamba gatuzi nyingi zetu hawana haja sana kuhakikisha usalama wa zile mashine tulionazo katika mahospitali. Tunapata hasara kubwa mno kukiwa na uharibifu wa moto na ukosefu wa pesa ya kuhakikisha kwamba zile mashine zimerudishwa tena. Ili kuhakikisha kwamba hakuna hasara, serikali za gatuzi zinafaa zihakikishe kwamba zimechukua bima kuhakikisha kwamba kukiwa na janga lolote, hakuna kupoteza zile mashine ambazo ziko katika mahospitali yetu. Asante sana."
