They are all about medical negligence and not the only cases, which have taken place in the country. There are quite a number of cases, which have been reported. One of them was of a young law student who had just been admitted into the bar. He was somewhere on Lang’ata Road when a speedy Government (GK) vehicle hit him and it never stopped. The number plate of the said vehicle was never recorded properly. He was picked by good Samaritans and stayed somewhere in the KNH, waiting to be given assistance and after three days he passed on. It was such a huge lose to the family. People taken to public or even private hospitals end up being mishandled. Perhaps, this maybe happens if their own kin are not available and we end up losing lives. In Makueni County, we have these many accidents of motorbikes due to the very Mombasa Road, which stretches to almost 300 kilometres in Makueni County. We have Makindu Hospital, which is supposed to deal with the emergencies. In one case at Wote, the medics said they had done a scan, but four people recently passed away at Makueni Level 5 Hospital. They had done the scan and were waiting for a specialized doctor to read the scan and that seems to have taken many hours. Eventually, this young man passed away before getting medical attention. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, without a doctor who can read the scan, the hospital, doctors or the emergency unit cannot make a further decision. They cannot deal with"
