"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on Standing Order No.45 to seek a statement on the situation of children who were mishandled by medical staff in Busia County by being given wrong or expired medication or whatever it may have been that cost the children the loss of their limbs. On Thursday last week, you ruled that the Ministry of Health should urgently issue a statement on the situation of Malaria in Western Kenya to this House. Up to now, we have not received any statement and they are reluctant to do so. We now have a situation where people have taken advantage to give children of Kenyan citizens, medicine that is either expired or given in the wrong root. In the statement, I would want the Chairperson of the Committee on Health to confirm the following:- (1) Whether it is true that this happened in Busia County, and if so, in which villag did it happen? (2) Which drug was used on that day? (3) What were the qualifications of the personnel that administered that drug? (4) What is the current medical status of the children after that medication? (5) What remedy will be taken to treat those children to full recovery? (6) What compensation will be given to those affected children?"
