    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement brought to the Floor of this House by Sen. Hamida on the state of facilities at Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital. It is terrible to imagine that hospital is overcrowded, that mothers who are giving birth have to share beds. A man may not understand what kind of an experience women have when they are delivering babies. If a budget was to be directed to any facility in this Republic, it must look at the maternity wings that are in this nation. I urge the Governor of Nairobi City, together with the national Government to ensure that Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital is supported by an independent maternity wing, which is fully-fledged with facilities, in order to support mothers and ensure that we reduce the infant mortality rate; and we can make giving birth a safe experience for mothers. Giving birth to a Kenyan child is a sacred duty that must be fully supported and given due regard and the care that mothers should have. I urge all hospitals in all the 47 counties where women are being held because of hospital bills after giving birth, to release them forthwith and no woman should be held in a hospital because they cannot pay for their maternity bills."
