    "content": "Looking at what Mama Annita went through, we also need to encourage hospitals to engage in medical processes with families and patients who have experience in adverse outcomes, ensuring that these processes are facilitated by neutral third parties to promote fairness and transparency. Madam Temporary Speaker, Mama Annita was quite frustrated. The KMPDC and MTRH frustrated this lady. Imagine, you are having the same people who are mediating the same issues. So, I feel strongly that we should have had the third-party mediators on such cases. Madam Temporary Speaker, I also feel that continuous quality improvement practices with such cases should be enhanced on patients with care standards. This could involve routine audits of surgical outcomes. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is one of those cases that was brought to us. Can you imagine other Kenyans going through the same; other Kenyans who do not have a voice to fight for themselves? Then who does? I feel strongly that the same doctors, through their negligence, should be punished. They should go through the disciplinary measures for others to understand the mess involved. Also, the staff that handled Ms. Annita, I wonder what happened, because we even expected the nurse, the staff to be competent enough. I feel the staff who handled Ms. Annita Chepkorir were incompetent. That black seed would have been detected with the kind of machines we have now, and thankfully, now we have the AI that could have supported it. The untimely death of Ms. Annita Jepkorir was largely caused by medical negligence and the medical personnel at the MTRH. My prayers have already been put down with the Standing Committee on Health, and the report is there; it is in black and white. Like I said, I do not have much since I went through the pain of Mama Annita. I am just humbled by my colleagues, and I still want to give space to Sen. Okiya Omtatah and any other Senator to contribute to this, but I feel justice has to be done. Justice delayed is justice denied. So, I feel strongly that the punishment has to be served. I want to donate my time to my other colleagues. I thank you."
