    "content": "but not in its entirety. In terms of the quality and content of the Report, what is normally read is just a summary. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a new Senator in this House, I have been wondering about what happens to the very good recommendations that we make in conclusion of our reports. How are we, as a House, going to follow up some of those matters? I say this because my Committee on Health has investigated matters to do with deaths in some of our facilities. In those investigations, we found issues to do with negligence, lack of equipment, lack of implementation of policy and regulations from the Ministry. As much as we have unearthed all those things and put them in the report, I would want to be guided as the Chairperson of the Committee on Health on how we can make sure that this is implemented, so that we do not produce reports that end up not being utilised. I agree with the Senate Majority Leader when he says, ‘when there are active conversation.’ In my Committee, the issue of UHC is so central to the Kenya Kwanza administration. However, we are a very frustrated Committee because ever since we came to this House and Committees were established, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Health has never appeared before our Committee. She has never invited us for inductions to scrutinise the programmes of UHC. We only deal with matters when they are processed and during launches. We find it extremely difficult as a Committee. We are scheduled to have the CS for Health on Friday and hope that she will appear before the Committee, so that those matters can be prosecuted. I agree that we probably need on our Order Papers time to apprise the House on matters that are live in the general populace."
