    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to add my voice in support to Sen. Sakaja’s Statement. Please, allow me to offer my condolences to the families of the deceased children. I know that we will be talking of this number of the 12 children as if it is just a label, but those are real families which have been affected by these deaths. This is a sign of the rot that is in our health system. I know that Pumwani Maternity Hospital has been in the headlines for a very long time for below optimal performance in many areas. However, this is a pointer to the fact that our health system, even though it is devolved, is really suffering. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Governor Sonko may be praised for having unearthed this, but having said that, this reactive approach to doing business can never help us. We cannot have people going to bust these kinds of malpractices when, in actual fact, they are responsible for ensuring that the right and dignified manner of handling dead bodies is in place; and that the right facilities – be they cold storages or body bags – are in place. In fact, Governor Sonko should have disqualified himself instead of seeking accolades for 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."
