    "content": "Hon. Speaker, this is the response to the Petition by Hon. Gichuki Mugambi on the Laser Eye Centre. I will not go to the details because when we received the matter, as a Committee, we also noticed at that time that, this matter was also taken to court by some patients and also the owner of the Laser Eye Centre. However, we discovered that this was a matter of public interest. So, we invited the Ministry of Health, the Laser Eye Centre and the Sarit Centre. We observed that the services offered by Laser Eye Centre could not be offered by any other comparable facility. Therefore, it was imperative that the Sarit Centre would allow Laser Eye Centre to handle its patients in the meantime until it is practicable to move to another building. This is because they were ready to move to another building but then, they had engineers who were out of the country. Also, because of the COVID-19 pandemic times, the engineers could not have been allowed to travel back. Some of them were from India, where we know they are still on lockdown. So, despite that, the matter was taken to court and there was a ruling where Laser Eye Centre obtained an order from the court to handle its patients in the facility at the Sarit Centre. That is what they are currently doing until they are able to bring their engineers. So, that is the matter. I beg to table the Report."
