    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I support this Motion. It is a sad moment because if Jacinta and Dedan, especially the sister of Dedan, did not have access to social media, the whole incident would not have come out. The way the report has been handled – in terms of how the information has been given – it is in such a way that when you look at the documentation, there seems to be a very well planned or orchestrated motive by the health officers who gave this report in terms of explaining what happened. I am looking at the report by the Medical Superintendent, Dr. Akumba. The mother insisted that the babies were the right ones, but the father said that they were not. When Sen. Kittony moved this Motion, she talked about three very key issues that are very critical in hospitals; the internal reporting, the systems of handover and how it should be done, the filing system and how that should be followed through. That seems to be the basis of the problem. I concur with Sen. Lesuuda that the work of this Committee should not stop at this. In fact, the Committee needs to even extend and look at other cases that have come up and see how solutions were found for those specific cases. First, such cases have become rampant. Secondly, Jacinta was a victim. She became a victim in the first instance since she did not do an ultrasound. Therefore, she did not know whether the babies were dead or alive. Therefore, she was very easy to convince. What percentage of women can access the ultrasound and go for prenatal care, so that by the time they get their babies they know what is happening? It is really sad because there are two twins growing up somewhere, completely detached from their families. The belief is that the twins are alive somewhere else and not where they are meant to be."
