    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank you for graciously allowing me to read this statement that I had earlier on been left out. I rise to seek for a statement on the critical inefficiencies, mismanagement and corruption at Longisa County Referral Hospital in Bomet County and the Bomet County Health System. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this statement is pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1). The level of inefficiency and management resulted in the tragic avoidable death at the County Referral Hospital on Sunday, the 10th of November, 2024, of one baby Diana Chepngeno, a three-year-old girl from Koitabai Village in Bomet County who had suffered severe venom-induced injuries from a bee sting. It is claimed that the hospital staff demanded Kshs5,000 from the family; an illegal fee disguised as a prerequisite for accessing crucial hospital services before they could provide the urgent medical care that was needed. This is not an isolated incident and is a blatant display of the rot of corruption that has plagued the county's service delivery system. It should be noted that during a recent appearance before the Senate County Public Investments and Special Funds Committee (CPISFC), the Governor of Bomet boasted of Longisa Hospital's capacity, asserting that it operates effectively as a Level 5 facility. The governor's confident statements sharply contrast with the harsh reality faced The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
