"content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, I want to thank the Chairperson and the Membership of the Departmental Committee on Health, for sitting long hours and bringing this Report in a timely manner. I am still waiting for the Report on the National Youth Service (NYS) which was to be tabled in the 11th Parliament. It took five years. Hon. Junet can confirm that. Every day, every year, they were investigating the NYS. On the contrary, this Committee gave itself a specific timeline because the matter they were investigating was a matter of great national importance. The KNH is supposed to be a prime health care facility. It is one of its kind, not only in Kenya, but in the region. We are told babies are stolen at the hospital. We have been told that there is a serious breakdown of machines and there is sexual assault at the same hospital. After all that, we have been told that there is serious surgical mix-up. That tells you that there is a systemic institutional failure in KNH. We cannot run away from that. The KNH is a shambolic institution. It is very sad. The intent and the purpose of those who started KNH, was to provide the best healthcare in our country. Our mothers, sisters and our daughters cannot feel safe in KNH because of fear of being sexually harassed and assaulted."
