"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity. I support the statements by Sen. Hamida Kibwana and Sen. Eddy Oketch. It is regrettable that our people are getting a lot of resistance from the use of antibiotics. It is painful that she has brought up the statement, especially on the impact on child health in Kenya. However, the resistance may not only be limited to children, but to all age groups. I ask myself where the public health department, the preventative arm of health, that deals with prevention is. This must have been foreseen. This could be aggravated by the fact that most patients buy over-the-counter drugs from chemists that we have all over the country. I keep asking myself why people are allowed to purchase antibiotics from chemists for use. The kind of usage must have led to the resistance that we are talking about. This must be looked into. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the statement by Sen. Eddy Oketch, it is unfortunate that our county governments, not particularly Migori, but all our county governments, do not insure some of these facilities. It is in good governance that our governors and the executive look into insuring some of this, so that we can forestall losses in the event anything happens. I support this statement and thank you for this opportunity."
