    "content": "I will be very afraid to go to hospital because my heart has stopped pumping for one reason or another - probably the poll results are not good or something has happened. My heart stops pumping and I am in Sio Port Health Centre, which has no facilities. For me to be referred to Busia County Referral Hospital, there must be another bureaucracy to approve it. It is normally very good politically to bring to the House some legislative proposals that give us political platform and airtime. However, let us look at things from a practical point of view. We are calling it a bureaucracy. The MPDB is responsible for registration and licensing of medical practitioners and dentists. The gentleman in charge has either travelled to Siberia or is asleep or has taken one too much for the road and is unable to make rational decisions. What happens? We need to be very careful. In any case, we are going to a regime where we need to have less regulations and allow the professionals to make professional decisions and be held accountable for those decisions. All these doctors are registered by their professional bodies. So, their duty of care is to the patients and stakeholders. I do not know how and where stakeholders get involved in my personal medical problem."
