    "content": "That is a very dangerous thing. The biggest journey in this country is when Muslims go to Mecca for Hajj. The other journey is going to India. All Kenyans are travelling to India for health services, because they are unable to get treatment locally. The other day, newspaper reports indicated that about 13 Members of Parliament were being treated in India for different diseases. Why? If there were quality healthcare services in Kenya, there would be no need to travel to India. As the Leader of the Majority Party said, if today you tell a patient that you are taking him to KNH, he will tell you that he is fine; that, he does not want to be treated. That is because he sees a possibility of dying while at that facility. Taking someone to KNH can be equated to taking someone to a grave. Hon. Speaker, this Report has fallen short of certain recommendations. I feel we should amend it. You cannot gloss over the board. The board just sits once or twice in a month. The chairman of the board told the Committee that the members of the board are very busy people, and that they do not have time to discuss small issues like someone’s skull being opened. The Chairman of the Committee has told this House that the staff at KNH are hands-off, ears-off, eyes-off, brain-off and shoes-off. Whom do the staff at KNH report to? They must have a boss. If something like this happens in the developed world, heads roll. People resign because something very bad has happened."
