    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to Second this Motion. Madam Deputy Speaker, I totally agree with sentiments by Sen. (Dr.) Mbito, the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Health. Indeed, it is very unfortunate that untimely death of Mrs. Virginia Asaph was due negligence. This is not the first time this has happened to our fellow Kenyans. Madam Deputy Speaker, death due to negligence is more hurting than death by an accident. My condolences to the family of Mrs. Virginia Asaph and our fellow Senator, Sen. Beth Mugo, who brought this particular Statement on the Floor of the House. This particular death was occasioned by staff of M.P Shah Hospital on 26th May, 2020. By then I was still a Member of the Standing Committee on Health. If the staff of that hospital acted humanely, this death would not have occurred. I support the recommendations in the report by the Committee. Kenyans go to a private hospital or a public hospital for treatment. Nobody wishes to die in any health facility, but it happens in accordance to God’s will. However, we say a big no death due negligence in any hospital in the country. Madam Deputy Speaker, as I second this Motion, I urge that in future we impose stiff penalties to any facility which causes death due negligence."
