    "content": "Thank you. I thought I just said Speaker, I do not think that I said Madam or Mr., but I will continue. Madam Temporary Speaker, we have this Report that we are debating on, and I think we have all concluded that it is a good report, and the Committee has done a good job. I do think that there needs to be more stringent recommendations. A fine is not enough. In my opinion, disciplinary action should be to the highest degree for the result that we are seeing here today, which is loss of life. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is not enough for a Kshs200,000 or Kshs350,000 fine to be set upon a doctor. The entire facility should pay on account for this negligence, because Annita was so brave. I can only imagine she was so brave, being taken from medical room to medical room, doctor to doctor, test to test with no answers. She even left the facility and came back later that day, still in pain and agony. She must have been so brave, trying to hold on to her life, but doctors did not try as hard as she was trying, because when it comes to the relationship between doctor and patient, it has to be a mutual collaborative relationship. The patient has to try just as hard as the doctor has to try to preserve life. In this case - and according to this report - the doctors did not do their part in preserving life. Annita was left alone for all those hours, through all those tests, through all that waiting; she was left alone, just like many young children and many young youths in this country have been left alone by the people who are supposed to serve and protect them. Young people are going through far too much. This morning when we had the national prayer breakfast, I was so happy to hear young people being affirmed and validated and being seen and being given a voice. It is comforting and reassuring that at least one or two people understand the importance of youth, the promise that young people have. Unfortunately, Annita will not get to see"
