    "content": "that doctor that a person died, the only thing we can do is reprimand or caution. If we are to take adverse step in punishing this doctor, then he should be asked to go back to school. It should not about taking account of what they have done already. The other thing that we can do which Sen. Cherarkey has talked about is to ask that doctor go back to school. So, what is the fate of the people who have suffered in the hands of this particular person? We must make it stringent. Think of the parents of Annita Jepkorir and the kind of suffering they underwent. They really suffered when that baby was alive. A foreign object was in their daughter's respiratory system and it was not removed. To conceal the negligence of the doctor, they removed the teeth of the girl. When they asked for the teeth, it was not available and they were not allowed to insist on asking. Those parents have also suffered after the death of their daughter. Do we really appreciate that this girl died three years ago yet justice has not been served to these parents? They had to come to the Senate because nothing has happened in the last three years. When they sought for information to lodge this complaint, the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital did not come through for them. The Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Kenyatta National Hospital and Kenyatta University Teaching and Referral Hospital are at the top in terms of the health facilities that we have in the Republic. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, imagine what would happen in a hospital like J.M Kariuki, which is not even a teaching and referral hospital, if people can suffer like this in the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. We usually expect the best of the best to be found in the level six hospitals. But what do we get? This kind of a problem. I feel that in our recommendations, we apportioned the bigger blame of the death of baby Annita Jepkorir to the legal department of Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital more than the person who was negligent. The recommendations require that disciplinary action and administrative action should be taken on the staff of the legal department of Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. However, there is nothing like disciplinary or administrative action on the doctor who caused this death. My question is: who should be apportioned more blame? We have the people who tried to conceal evidence and the person who caused the sin. I am confused. Who should carry the bigger burden of the death of baby Annita Jepkorir? In our recommendation, we have asked for that disciplinary and administrative action be taken upon the legal department because they were supposed to help the parents of baby Annita to the bottom of this. I agree that this is good. However, I believe the bigger blame is on Dr. Ondigo and the team of doctors who were working on this baby."
