    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, listening to this answer, you even totally get discouraged asking any supplementary questions because it looks like nothing good can come from this particular Government. The story of Alex Madaga is a very sad story; a story of a young man with a promising future and a sole bread winner who lost his life through some negligence of some hospitals that she has named here. It is even more sad that after the incident happened the Government showed no remorse. There was no Government support, no representative at the burial, not even a message of condolences from the official of the Government. It is as if nothing has happened. I guess it is because of where Alex Madaga comes from in this country. To this Government, some people are more important than others. It is very sad, indeed. It is a big shame to this Government. However, let me just ask two supplementary. Now that the Chairperson has admitted that the preliminary inquiry Committee found the hospitals involved culpable, or blameworthy and she says the matter has been referred to the Professional Conduct Committee for action to be taken, we want her to give an undertaking to this House that she will come and report back to us what action was taken against the two hospitals that she has named that were culpable. They clearly contravened Article 43(2) of the Constitution, denying a person emergency medical treatment. We, as a Senate, want to know what action will be taken because you have told us that action will be taken. Secondly, I was very specific; we wanted to know what kind of support the Government will give to this family. This is a very poor family. The young man was a sole breadwinner and he left a young son in high school. We wanted the Government to give some assurance that they will even give support as we await the outcome, for the young man to go to school in January. What support will this Government give to the young family of the late Alex Madaga who lost his life through negligence?"
