    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to support the Motion. I want to thank hon. Mbau for bringing this Motion to the House. We are in a country where it is unfortunate that the leadership of this country has to spend time discussing this kind of matter. Truly, nearly 50 years after Independence, Kenyans should live a decent live. Just yesterday, I was involved in a pathetic case in my constituency, where a child had stayed in Kenyatta National Hospital for three weeks because of lack of medical fees. Fortunately, we gathered together and managed to raise the fees. When all these hon. Members go back to their constituencies, they hear these kinds of stories. They are told that there is a patient who needs an urgent operation but now it is two weeks, he has not had it. They will also be told that there is a body in the mortuary which has been waiting for people to gather and raise money. This is because of the poverty that we have subjected Kenyans to. As leaders, we must bear the responsibility."
