    "content": "I agree with Senators and I wanted to be short because they say brevity is the soul of wit. On the issue of health, under Article 43 of the Constitution, the right to health and economic social rights is a fundamental right. It is in the Constitution that the President of the Republic of Kenya, President Uhuru must give us reports on the status of implementation of economic and social rights. The right to health is key. I have looked at the issue of health and our counties are in a crisis. As we talk, in March 2021, Nandi County Assembly through an ad hoc Committee tabled a report on an investigation into COVID-19 funds. They found that in Kapsabet County Referral Hospital there was a dysfunctional oxygen plant. One lady allegedly died due to lack of oxygen. The problem of health is rampant, but the question is whether it is a threshold to impeach a governor. If we were to impeach a governor, does it mean - I want Sen. Cheruiyot to listen to this - that if there is dysfunctional, I agree the governor should be careful and ahead of things because he has the executive authority. Nonetheless, is provision or lack of health facilities a ground to impeach a governor?"
