I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health regarding the circumstances that led to the amputation of baby Jennifer Mwasi’s hand at Wesu Hospital in Taita Taveta County. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the amputation of baby Jennifer Mwasi's arm, which should entail reviewing medical records, witness testimonies and any other pertinent evidence.
