Last week I sought a statement from the Standing Committee on Health. That is the time that the chairperson had just arrived from a long absence. The statement was in regard to the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Alex Madaga, the young man who was kept in an ambulance for 18 hours before he was admitted. He eventually passed on. The Chair ruled that the Chairperson of the Committee should give some provisional statement today, Thursday 22nd October, 2015. We are burying this young man on Saturday. The family, the whole community and I believe the whole country, is very anxious to know exactly what happened to Alex Madaga. He comes from my county. The Chairperson of the Committee is not here, but I can see the Vice Chairperson. However, she is not rising up to give the statement. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I seek your guidance on this matter."}
