    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I have mentioned in the request for statement a situation of emergency. Because of the limitation of the Statement and time, I have not said much. Remember I am saying, year after year, it is known nationally that HIV prevalence in Homa Bay is the highest. That means the population of Kenyans down there have compromised immunity. As I stand before you, within my constituency alone, I personally know seven people who are being buried. Tomorrow there are about three, including the wife of a person who was my constituency office manager in the last Parliament. I have two other former staff members who have had to leave that hospital to go and be at home. This is because there is no ICU or oxygen. We call it a Level 5 referral facility, but it is not. The tragedy we have is that in the last Parliament, I brought issues here. You remember when Macharia was the Cabinet Secretary for Health. He came here and in writing, undertook to elevate this hospital following the promise of the First Lady. When Mailu took over the ministry, he also undertook to do so by June 2016. We are in a situation where the only Level 5 facility in southern Nyanza is in Kisii. So, everybody from Homa Bay County, which is half Luo Nyanza, 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."
