"content": "There are provisions even in a court of law, which provide that if the time is not sufficient to do anything, including filing a case, one can seek an extension of time. This Committee, instead of rushing here with a haphazard Report, they should have sought extension of time, if they were time bound as regards the presentation of any report before this House. Yes, we have heard of medical mix-ups elsewhere. That is a common scenario all over the world. Last week, I was reading a very interesting scenario; that a watchman at a cremation centre fell asleep while on duty. Those who were meant to put a corpse into the crematorium found him asleep and thought he was the one. By the time they realised he was not the one, they had put the wrong person into the furnace. The guy was already dead. By shrieking and wailing to the deepest of his voice, he was already dead. So, those are common medical errors that will be found across the world, but they are not the reason as to why they should happen within this country. So, we cannot quickly pass the buck and say that this is a common problem the world over. That way, we will not be sorting out the problems within our Republic health institutions. In any event, we do not belong to the US or any other country. We belong to the Republic of Kenya."
