    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I notice that there is actually a change. I give a case of 30th when a pastor who is a very good friend of our family was suspected to have COVID-19 in Bungoma. In that situation - and he is in a referral hospital of the county - they were not able to do a test to enable him to be transferred to another facility even though they suspected he was a COVID-19 patient. Then they were not able to transfer him to ICU because, apparently, Bungoma has only one ICU bed. I consulted Kakamega to see if they could transfer him there. Kakamega apparently has 10 beds which are all full. I then called Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. They were willing to take him, but by the time they were willing to take him and we went back to Bungoma, because Bungoma was trying to play PR, they refused to release him and he ended up dying within a very short time. Even after that, I know of one of our colleagues here - and I will not mention the name - who was actually facing a similar challenge while we were in Naivasha. The Member was trying to transfer a relative who has a case of COVID-19. Aga Khan ICU was completely full. Nairobi Hospital ICU was completely full and most of the ICU units of the major hospitals were completely full."
