    "content": "proper or in order for anybody to say a doctor or even a patient should die within a hospital setup because they do not have a medical cover. Under Article 43 of the Constitution of Kenya, every person is entitled to right to health under the socio-economic rights. There is no reason and no explanation, even from private hospitals, for a patient not to be treated if they are taken to an emergency room. They should never say that they did not have money hence the reason why they were not given emergency treatment. I want to commend Machakos Hospital. A little while ago, we took a patient there and nobody asked us about money as our patient received emergency treatment. Hospitals need to know that emergency treatment is an automatic right before people decide on who is supposed to pay those bills. They should not ask at that point whether it is supposed to be paid by SHA, the family, the patient or by whoever is supposed to sort out that bill. I first blame the doctors in that hospital who denied access to medical, access to health and access to medical facility to those two doctors. I believe this was malicious and they wanted to see their colleague down. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to comment on the statement by Sen. Orwoba which I support. It is a very big shame that after some Kenyans stopped conning people using land and property, we now have a new area where they are conning people. They are now conning the vulnerable youths who are seeking for jobs outside. It is a big shame. I am asking myself, who is licensing these agencies? Who is vetting these agencies? Where is the National Employment Authority when our youths are being conned money they do not have? No youth has Kshs50,000 in their pocket."
