    "content": "What we need to do is for the Ministry of Health to come up with a policy that can make these forms free of charge when they are filled by the MOHs. The Jubilee Government has given free maternity healthcare to mothers. Therefore, the same policy can be developed at the Ministry level. These forms should be filled absolutely free of charge by the MOHs. This can still be channelled through the county assemblies as other colleagues have put it because it is their responsibility now that healthcare is devolved. It is the responsibility of county assemblies to enact laws that can make this service free of charge, including specifying hospitals in every sub-county and ward which can fill these forms free of charge. We should go further because once the form is filled by the MOH, it is still supposed to be filled by police officers. That is still another issue. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we know what happens in these police stations. Sometimes if you go looking for the police officer to sign for you, because it is a particular officer who is assigned that responsibility, it is difficult to see him or her. Even when he is at the station, you will be taken round in circles and told that the officer is not there. This is the case and yet the doctors cannot treat anybody who may have been caught in a fight until you submit the P3 Forms to them. Therefore, there should be enough officers at the police station and not one officer being given the responsibility of signing P3 Forms. This is because this condones corruption. Several officers or those officers who sit in the public relations desk in every police station should be able to fill in these forms for the victims of such injuries. In the Police Service Charter, they have said this is free service. Therefore, it should be seen as free. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank you once again for allowing me to contribute to this Motion. I encourage my friends. I know there are very many cases of injuries in Mombasa. I know Hon. Mwinyi has brought this Motion because his constituents are really suffering. However, I have not heard about such problems where I come from. Therefore, I really support him. I urge my colleagues to join hands with Hon. Mwinyi so that this Motion can see the light of day. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
