    "content": "As he does his work, we should not politicise the death of our children. It is unfortunate that these infants lost their lives. The Governor of Nairobi City County was the Senator of the same City for the last five years and has been the governor for the last one year. He knew that Pumwani Maternity Hospital did not even have a cold room. We should not, therefore, politicise this issue. The issue which is there is the death of infants, which is unfortunate and happened in the wrong way. That is possibly all that the staff could do; to wrap the bodies and put them somewhere. The information we are getting is that it is the routine that this hospital takes these bodies to the mortuary every two days. Why should that happen? Everybody has asked that, but the most important thing is that the hospital which has been one of the biggest for many years does not even have a coldroom. This is sad. If the governor cannot do anything else, he can provide a cold room for the hospital immediately, so that our dead infants do not undergo that shameful experience of being wrapped in paper bags and kept in boxes. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee will do what it can. We are planning to go there tomorrow. With the support of the Senate Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, we will see what we can do. We will make sure that we reach the bottom of what is happening there."
