    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the Statement by Sen. Kibwana. While taking note of the initiatives that the Kenya Kwanza Government is taking to sort out these issues, some weeks back, I saw the President flagging off some oxygen cylinders to counties in a bid to sort out the shortage of oxygen cylinders. I also want to bring to the attention of Members that as Sen. Kisang has said, during the COVID-19 period, we saw counties rushing to set up centres that were to provide different hospital facilities with oxygen. In fact, the county of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale set aside Kshs100 million for purchasing oxygen cylinders and other facilities in relation to that. The media highlighted that as they usually do. As sad as it is today, none of those have actually come to actualization. We only read statistics on our newspapers that patients are lacking oxygen, which is very critical, especially to terminally ill patients, children and many people at the bottom who we represent in this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the Statement, but take recognition of what the Kenya Kwanza Government is doing to sort out some of these challenges. Specifically, the President flagged off quite a number of oxygen cylinders with the support of the Global Fund. I thank you."
