    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to support the Statements of our Senators. I will start with the Statement for Sen. Mwaruma about this demise of Samuel Mwate due to negligence of the doctors. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Intensive Care Unit (ICU) has many problems. This is not only of oxygen, but most hospitals do not even have generators. When electricity goes off, many of the people in the ICU and children in incubators die due to lack of oxygen and the necessities that they should have while in the ICU. The Committee on Health must also check not only in Taita/Taveta County, but in all counties. This is because most of the hospitals do not have proper ICUs and generators to sustain lives after the electricity is gone. I support. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also support Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s Statement about own- source revenue. Apart from Kakamega County, the Committee must check in all the counties, especially Machakos County because I believe that we should be collecting much more own-source revenue in Machakos than we are doing at the moment. The Committee should also check and ensure that counties collect this money and that whoever is collecting it is accountable and trustworthy. This is where most of the corruption is. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support."
