"content": "I would like to read a jointly signed report by my colleague, Hon. Nanok, and me on the status report regarding our visit to Karen Hospital to assess the condition of Hon. George Koimburi. Following your ruling and the House resolution yesterday, on 27th May 2025, during the afternoon sitting, Hon. Daniel Nanok, the Chairperson of the Parliamentary Broadcasting and Library Committee, and I undertook a visit to the hospital on behalf of the House. We arrived at the medical facility at approximately 5.30 p.m., identified ourselves and stated the purpose of our visit, which was to check on the health and well-being of our colleague, Hon. Koimburi. We were also there to convey the goodwill message of the House and yourself and to gather any other relevant information that might be useful to us as his colleagues in Parliament. We were kept waiting in the waiting bay for about half an hour, after which we were informed that we could proceed to the Malindi Ward, which was on the third floor, where the Member was reportedly admitted. It is good to note that we had to keep reminding the hospital staff that we were still waiting. At the ward’s waiting area, we encountered six individuals who introduced themselves as family members and part of Hon. Koimburi’s staff. Additionally, two security guards were stationed at the doorstep, who informed us that it was not possible for us to see the Member at that moment. We had to continuously remind whoever we got there about who we were, and the purpose of our visit. They confirmed that they were already aware of our intended visit following your communication. We explained that our visit was in accordance with the directive from the Speaker of the National Assembly and was purely to gather information on the well-being and welfare of our colleague; however, our request was still declined. We later requested to speak to the doctor-in-charge, hoping to at least obtain a medical update."
