    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to issue a Statement pursuant to Standing Order No. 47(1). I rise to make a Statement concerning the state of affairs of public hospitals in Kakamega County. I wish to share with you and this House that I have been doing a factfinding circuit of all public health facilities within Kakamega County. Yesterday, 8th July, 2019, I concluded the foresaid random visits at Malava Sub-County Hospital. I wish to register that the general situation of the hospitals is deplorable, despicable and agonising to speak of the least. The pain witnessed by citizens seeking healthcare services is harrowing and excruciating. The maternity wings in most of these hospitals are clearly overwhelmed. In Malava Sub-County Hospital, the wing has only 22 beds which forces expectant mothers to share beds. Two expectant mothers in that hospitals share a single bed. Expectant mothers are as fragile as the process of giving life. They move around, dance in pain, stretch and behave in uncontrollable ways during labour. The least that a hospital should do to them is to provide a conducive environment to reduce the pain and not aggravate The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
