    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I stand to support the Statement by Sen. Khaniri. I thank him for bringing up this important Statement which is a matter of national importance. Health matters have gone to the dogs in this country. I want to agree with the Senate Majority Leader when he says that some policies are being pushed without involving us. We are being told about the Cuban doctors and medical equipment much later after a tendering procedure had been finalized and yet there is no improvement in the health situation in this country. My Committee is currently handling a Petition from West Pokot County which is neighbouring my county. When I received it, I decided to first visit my county to see if things are okay because I knew my Committee would visit West Pokot County. However, when I went there, I was told that they get better medical services from West Pokot County. That revelation made me wonder what was happening in Trans Nzoia County. I wondered how the people of West Pokot were complaining about services in their hospitals. After a few weeks, I received a copy of a Petition from my constituents which I handed over to the Clerk of the Senate. I do not know where it is, but it had very serious allegations of mismanagement of health in my county. I am sure that the Petition will get to you. It is dated 8th June, 2018. Some of the things highlighted in it do not even need investigation. One of the things that they have talked about is ghost workers. They have given the name of a specific doctor who is working in Kisumu County. He earns a salary there and yet he is on the payroll of Trans Nzoia County. A doctor informed me the said doctor who works The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
