    "content": "Patients are treated for the wrong ailments. My friend, Hon. Mule, is an expert in Tuberculosis (TB). A patient could go with a knee injury and he is given TB tablets! Patients are not being treated for the ailments that took them to KNH. Kenyans need to access medical assistance particularly from a public referral facility of KNH’s type. The KNH should have been the India of Africa, in my opinion. The neighbouring countries should have been sending patients to KNH. Today, we are told of poor security at KNH, the CCTV are not functioning, the board is reactionary and unresponsive, the management does not have the passion to lead and there is lack of the usage of the standards and the guidelines that are supposed to operationalise the hospital. The Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) must be indicted. He cannot conduct an investigation for too long. We have men and women with the capacity and capability to conduct an investigation within one week and bring the criminals who are operating in KNH to book. The KNH needs more resources and more staff. It needs to give the public more information. We do not want to treat the big problem and Hon. Nyikal has talked about it. The Committee did not look at it. Maybe the Committee has addressed it in the recommendations in the Report. The people who created KNH had in mind that it would provide the most specialised treatment. If you are knocked down by a boda boda, you are taken to KNH instead of Mama Lucy Hospital. In my opinion, KNH should not even have a maternity wing. Maternity should be in the counties and Level 5 hospitals. We give conditional grants of Kshs5 billion to all Level 5 hospitals. Governors and county governments must help solve the problems at the KNH. According to the Committee, KNH has a capacity of 1,300 patients, but it now sees 2,000 The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
