(Dr.) Murango to go slow and wait for another five years in order to see what this Kenya Kwanza Government will do. I thank you."

There is a time a statement was raised by the Senator for Kisii, Sen. Onyonka about the disappearing of the medical equipment that do ultrasound. With the disappearance of that equipment, people are suffering because there are no ultrasound services in Kisii Referral Hospital. If the Governor had insured the equipment, he will have replaced them and people would have benefited. Secondly, I would like to comment on the statement by Sen. Hamida on the overuse of antibiotic drugs by buying them over the counter. There is also misdiagnosis by some doctors, which leads to anti-microbial resistance."

"content": "Yes, I am Paul Karungo Wa Thang’wa, the Senator for Kiambu County. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not have a problem when Sen. Chute refers to me to Wamunyoro. We are happily associated with Wamunyoro and all the people. I will comment on the statement that was requested by Sen. Eddy Oketch who also goes by another name, Gicheru. When it comes to counties insuring hospital equipment, there is a big problem because they budget for equipment, but they never insure them. When that happens, we ask questions where the money goes to. It is not only for the equipment. Even insuring the civil servants or the county workers, especially in Kiambu County. I had requested for a statement here on the Floor of this House in 2023 from the Committee on Health, but I have never gotten a response. I wanted to know why the County Government of Kiambu took all the health insurance from the then National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), which is the Social Health Authority (SHA) today to a private entity called MUA Kenya. The people of Kiambu, the workers of Kiambu County are suffering because the private insurance company is not insuring every medical aspect of their bills. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we look into this issue, the Chairperson of the Committee on Health, the one you referred the statement to, must also answer on the Floor of the House whether we allow counties to insure their workers to a private entity. In regard to the health issues, Kiambu is also suffering because of the ongoing doctors’ strike. I know you saw it in the social media or on television that a father lost his child while holding his child in a hospital called Igegania."

For two years, I have not received a response to my statement."
