"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I want to congratulate my friend Hon. Mishra. At least today I have learnt from Dr. Pukose that Hon. Mishra is a gynecologist. I did not know that. The Bill is long overdue. Personally, I have an experience. Two years ago, I lost my sister who had cancer. I went to India with her and stayed with her for three good months. You cannot imagine what Kenyans go through in India. I remember we were not able to pay the bills and so, we were told that we would be buying medicine from outside the hospital. Remember, I was sleeping with my sister in the hospital. If we pass this Bill, we are going to help Kenyans. Most people do not know what happens in India. The doctors normally link with brokers and other cartels in India. What happens when you go to India is that you are charged a lot of money because they need to pay the cartels some commission. So, I want to support what Dr. Mishra has proposed. However, here in our country, we have a challenge because of our hospitals. I want to give an example of Nyeri General Hospital. It is a referral hospital but it does not have Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment. So, even as we tell people to use our facilities locally, we need to make sure that we have the best personnel and equipment in our hospitals so that they can take care of our patients. We need to protect our people. 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."
