    "content": "Let us look at outlying counties like Kiambu, Thika, Machakos, Kajiado, Narok and Naivasha. If you go to Mombasa Road, Waiyaki Way, Thika Road and Kiambu Road, just look at the number of ambulances on that road. All of them head to KNH. It makes me wonder. It seems these counties are specialising on ambulances only. On the allegations concerning KNH, there were allegations of rape, particularly in the maternity area. When the Committee went there, it found no evidence. Those were all rumours and what came out is that the mothers in the maternity seemed to be worried when going to the nursery to feed their babies. They said the distance was a bit long. It is understood that when mothers deliver or they undergo caesarean section, they need to be encouraged to walk because if they do not do that, complications arise. There is the common complication of thrombosis of the veins which can cause sudden death. So, normally, when mothers deliver, whether they go home or they are in hospital, they are encouraged to walk around so that they do not get those complications. So, that question of why the nursery should be far from the mothers does not arise. It is actually therapeutic. The surgical mix-up is very regrettable. However, when there is a shortage of staff, as KNH is facing, naturally, people tend to have a shortcut and this shortcut in the long run is bound to cause mistakes. So, who is to blame in all these things and what has happened in KNH? Personally, I do not think anybody is to blame, but everybody is to blame from the Ministry down to this House up to the Treasury. All of them are to blame. The Ministry is not agitating for KNH to be funded. This House appropriates funds and apparently they have failed to appropriate The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
