    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will be very brief in commenting on this statement sought by Sen. Oketch Gicheru on the issue of insurance of health facilities in his County of Migori. This is not an issue of Migori alone, it has spread countrywide. Some people working in the public service do not understand the importance of insuring public property. In a county like mine, you will find that a hospital does not have a title deed and they do not even care about it. Insuring public assets is very important. Some people would say I do not care, if anything happens, the Government will pay. The Government is you. It is the people who will pay for something, which they should not have paid for. Insurance should have compensated them. Therefore, when the Committee investigates this matter, it should be taken seriously. It should be across the board to cover almost all counties. This is a principle that many counties do not want to follow. They do not want to insure public property. Sometimes, even Government vehicles are not insured. People do not take public property seriously. They think it is something that belongs to the public. I stress the importance of covering public property, particularly health facilities with insurance. The Committee should be very thorough in doing its work on this particular one. Thank you."
