    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, I want to condole and sympathize with the parents of the twins that were born and lost in Pumwani Maternity Hospital. I was a Member of the Committee that investigated the report and it exposed a lot of weaknesses in terms of security in hospitals, and more particularly, in children hospitals, with a specific and particular reference to Pumwani Maternity Hospital. The loss of a newborn is a very traumatic experience, particularly to the parents. This was exemplified from the presentation of the parents that we saw. They were really traumatized and we could see from their reports and records what they have gone through. It is apparent from the investigations that we have done that the Pumwani Maternity Hospital case is not the only one that has occurred. It looks like it is the occurrence in most children’s hospitals. As we investigated this case, we found that there was a cartel or syndicate that is involved in whisking away newborns, particularly from mothers who are in distress and going through the turbulence of giving birth and not aware of their environment. It is at this time that they lose their newborns. This is perhaps what happened. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
