    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing order 48 (1) to seek a Statement from the Ad Hoc Committee on COVID-19 Situation in Kenya on the status of preparedness for COVID-19 by Wajir County Government. In the Statement, the Committee should address the following- (1)State the status of availability of oxygen cylinders, oxygen floor meters and functional concentrators at the Wajir County Referral hospital and whether the Ministry is aware that Abdi Yusuf, a resident of Wajir County and a veteran public health officer of over 30years experience, died on 24th July, 2020 at Wajir County Referral Hospital in the COVID-19 isolation ward allegedly after failing to get medical emergency that required supplemental oxygen, despite the millions of shillings allocated to the county. The gentleman died while asking for oxygen. (2) Explain the capacity of Wajir regional referral laboratory to conclusively conduct COVID-19 test. (3) Provide a list of all the staff employment in Wajir County hospital and their academic qualification, stating the number of competent Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses, doctors and anesthetists capable of performing incubation, as well as the number of ICU beds. (4) State the amount the county was allocated from the national Budget for COVID-19 preparedness and whether the COVID-19 isolation center at Wajir referral hospital is properly branded and there are dedicated ambulances ready to handle patients with COVID-19 and related emergencies. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am asking all these because when this young gentleman died people in Wajir were up in arms. He died because of lack of oxygen. Many other members of staff have contracted the disease, and up to now, the problems are still there. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
