    "content": "THAT, on 20th May, 2016, Quinter Apondi Odhiambo, a Form Two student at St. Albert’s Ulanda Girls High School, was hit in the face by a bullet fired by a prison warder; THAT, at the time of the incident, Quinter was participating in secondary schools games at Migori Boys High School; THAT, it is said the prison warder was seeking to apprehend an inmate who had escaped from Migori GK Prison and ran into Migori Boys High School; THAT, Quinter was taken to Ombo Mission Hospital in Migori County and later referred to Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, where her damaged left eye was removed; THAT, on 6th June, 2016, Quinter was discharged from hospital, following the settlement of the attendant hospital bills by her parents and well-wishers through fundraising efforts and is currently at her parents’ home, traumatized and abandoned by the Government; THAT, due to the serious injury sustained by Quinter, there is urgent need to take her to the United Kingdom (UK) for specialized treatment for an eye implant and attendant surgery as such expert treatment and requisite facilities are not locally available; and, THAT, the matter in respect of which this Petition is made is not pending before any court of law. Therefore, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committees on Administration and National Security, and Health resolves and directs that:- (i) the Government caters for the costs of eye implant, treatment and incidental medical expenses for Quinter Apondi Odhiambo at the London Eye Hospital in London, United Kingdom; (ii) Pursuant to Article 95 of the Constitution, the National Assembly makes the necessary resolutions and directions for reparation to Quinter Apondi Odhiambo; and, (iii)Makes such other further order or direction that it deems fit in the circumstances of the case. And your Petitioners will ever pray."
