"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The report on the KMPDB was compiled without a nursing representative. The nurses have complained about that. So, when you are compiling a report or before giving a judgement, you must have included everybody representing the bodies you are dealing with, so that you can give a fair judgement to everybody. The KMPDB report is blaming the nurse. I was in hospital in December and I underwent a surgery. The doctor who performed surgery on me came to check on me. He brought the file to me and then he went to the theatre. I followed him. Why did the doctor not confirm that the patient he was operating on, was, indeed, the right one? It is also a mistake for the doctor not to go to the ward to know the patient he is supposed to operate on. It is a rule. You must know your patient. When we say a nurse got the wrong person, even the doctor must share the blame. We are not saying that we exclude some people from what they have done, but can we do a thorough report? Already some people are out of the problem while others are inside. I agree we need changes at KNH, but we should not victimise few people. We should not only concentrate on the management and leave other systems out. For example, one of the recommendations of the Report is that the Inspector-General should be in charge of security at KNH. Others will say that we need security. The Nairobi Hospital will say it needs security. We need to get a private firm to take that duty. Why should we overwork policemen and yet we have few of them in this country? We would better get a private firm and give them the job. They will perform it very well. If we give the Inspector-General that job, other hospitals will also request for the same services."
