    "content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to congratulate, Sen. Catherine, for bringing this Motion. This Motion captures a very broad picture of what Kenyans go through. Madam Temporary Speaker, from the outset, we have very good doctors and nurses in this country who do a very good job. The nurses, in fact, do much more medical work than even doctors. But what happens is that there is a small percentage of either ill- trained, reckless, negligent or just careless medics who cause a lot of harm to Kenyans. Recently, I met a very good friend of mine who we were with at the university; who was a very handsome man at that time. He had a very terribly twisted mouth and I asked him what happened. He told me that he went to see a doctor who injected him on a nerve and that resulted into the horrendous appearance that he now carries. There are many people like that. In fact, if you read the book of Moliere called the Imaginary Invalid – I am sure that Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o has read this – or watched the film on Steve Biko, there a very good phrase there where they say that the majority of people die not because of their ailments, but complications arising out of the treatment that they get on those ailments. It is those complications that this Motion is seeking to address. You have heard the very moving story by my very good friend, the distinguished Senator for Kiambu. You saw in the media, a month ago, a very filthy looking young doctor who had caused the death of a woman on the operation table, because he left a bar and walked straight to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
