    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support the Statement raised by Sen. Cherarkey on the state of Kapsabet County Referral Hospital and other health facilities in Nandi County. Close to my heart is the issue of medicine. This should call for a serious inquiry into what is happening in Nandi. There are many conduit businesses happening in the hospital. It should not be that every single time we rise in this House, in every single referral hospital in this country, people are being sent to go and buy medicine from outside. It is an issue that has been raised in this House several times. We will be losing the script if we cannot do a proper investigation. A good investigation should start with Nandi County. People are losing lives. You are diagnosed with simple illnesses but you cannot get medicine. There is no medicine because people are trading in the counties. In Migori County Referral Hospital, people get to the hospital and they are diagnosed with simple illnesses but they are told to go and buy medicine from outside the hospital. What is happening? If the Senate does not take the action of doing a proper inquiry into this conduit that is going on where drugs are being sold by people in the counties and doctors in those hospitals, we are never going to save this country. We also have medical interns who are outside. Sen. Cherarkey has touched on that. It also goes without saying that these medical interns constantly do operations in our hospitals---"
