    "content": "abandoned site. He is owed Kshs15 million. I have complained about other uses of money and my colleagues have spoken about foreign travel, for instance. Nairobi City County is leading in foreign travel expenses. If you compare what is being used in foreign travel or even just billboards, we spend Kshs20 million for billboards, yet Kshs15 million is what is required to get the contractor on site in Mbagathi Hospital. The situation is the same at Mutuini Sub-District Hospital, where the most ridiculous thing is happening. Chairperson, I want you to go and confirm that there is an X-ray machine at the hospital, but it cannot be used by the people in Dagoretti South because there are no doors to the room where the machine is placed. When you speak to the management of the hospital, they say that roughly Kshs500,000 to Kshs700,000 would get them doors for the X-ray room and they would stop sending people all the way to Mbagathi Hospital just to get X-rays. This Kshs500,000 is the value of two billboards for one month in Nairobi City County. It is just plain ridiculous. I encourage the Committee and its Chair, whether the Governor is present or not, kindly, come and visit these facilities so that you can see for yourselves, even when you tackle Sen. Orwobas’ inquiry. Do not wait for the Governor because he is going to find an excuse for you not to visit. I have more than enough capacity as the Senator of Nairobi City County to host the Committee. Whatever the Governor was going to give you, in terms of accommodation or traffic marshals to clear the road, I can assure the people of Nairobi City County will give you the necessary support so that you can visit all these facilities, see for yourself, and help the people."
