    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are all human and human is to err. I dully corrected the same. The Member is an eminent Member of the Departmental Committee on Health and a respected one at that. The issue where a patient was bludgeoned to death arose in a previous Committee sitting. But the same was included in this Report and made to look bad. I sat in that Committee when the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Kenyatta National Hospital was present and I never heard anyone bring that issue to the fore and ask the CEO to respond to it and yet, the same was included in this Report. It is part and parcel of this Report. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have never seen a Report where conclusions are made in the preliminary paragraphs. In the chronology of events, I will take you to No.9 of this Report. This indicates that this is a Committee that had been premeditated and had a mindset on what they wanted to execute. The Report says: “That in another demonstration of general insecurity situation at the hospital---“, giving conclusive statements at the preliminary stage. You are giving conclusive statements that there was insecurity in the Hospital. This is an indication that they had an agenda at the outset, from the word go. We try to be objective in everything. If you look at what the Report says, I believe Hon. Nyikal has clearly defined the difference between administrative systems and systemic failures. The Report centralises predominantly on systemic failures. Nowhere in this report – and I have looked at it – does it seem to mention administrative failures or specifically uses the word “administrative failures.” That is a discussion for another day."
