    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this time to comment on the Report by the Committee on Health. I commend the Chair, Sen. (Dr.) Mbito, for bringing the Report on the Floor of this House. Health is a core issue. It is a devolved function and an issue that affects all Kenyans. Most of the time, we want to know about the health of our citizens, especially given that it is enshrined in the Constitution that everyone has the right to the highest attainable standards of health. I suppose that the Committee has done a thorough job to investigate on the many queries that have come on the Floor of this House. Some time back, there is a Statement that came from the Mbagathi County Hospital where a patient was missing her kidney. There was also another one from Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital where babies were missing, and so on. Therefore, it is good when these health issues and the status of county hospitals are brought on the Floor on this House. County hospitals need to be revamped and thoroughly equipped, so that we do not have Kenyans going out of the country to seek medical help. We need to own our own expertise and train our own medics, so that we avoid medical tourism. I support the Statement. The Temporary Speaker (Sen. Kinyua): The Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMITTEE ON JUSTICE, LEGAL AFFAIRS AND HUMAN RIGHTS"
