    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health regarding the state of healthcare in public hospitals in Kitui County. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Find out why public hospitals in Kitui County are frequently short of drugs and other critical medical supplies which has resulted to patients incurring exorbitant costs to access medical care from private health facilities; (2) Establish why diagnostic equipment are either missing or dysfunctional in almost public health facilities in Kitui County; (3) Ascertain the serviceability of medical diagnostic equipment currently in use in private hospitals in Kitui County and the reliability of results of medical tests and examinations conducted using the said equipment; (4) State why patients are required to pay for ambulances services whenever they are being transferred for medical care within and or, outside the county; (5) Explain why healthcare workers including casuals are not being paid their salaries and wages in good time; (6) Urgently take all necessary measures to cause a resumption to normalcy in provision of healthcare services in public hospitals in Kitui County."
