    "content": "Marsabit, which is part of the marginalized counties. With that background, there are many counties that have suffered more than others. When it comes to staffing and personnel, we have people who are not qualified in some of the medical centers. To make matters worse, in areas like the place I come from, the Government used to send staff who were under disciplinary action. When such staff were sent there, they mistreated the patients and did not serve them in the right way. So, it is unfortunate that many of our institutions have lost credibility and are not serving Kenyans as they ought to. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, many patients have died on the road while being transferred from one place to the other. For example, in Marsabit County, where I come from, many people have died on the road while being transferred from Marsabit to Meru. We all know that the poverty level in that area is high and people have no money to transfer their patients or transport dead bodies. It is something that we need to give attention to. I suggest that a proper audit be done and a report tabled when the time comes. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you, for giving me the opportunity. I support the Statement."
