    "content": "Whereas I support wholeheartedly the decision to set up this committee to look into issues of the mess, I oppose the list as constituted. I propose that perhaps, the majority and minority sides should consult further on this list. I have nothing personal against the Committee on Health but this includes Members of the Committee on Health plus two other Members. I do not want to say anything about my colleagues. The only point that is important for me to make on the Floor of this House is that the Senate Committee on Health of the Republic of Kenya has not done very well in Kitui County. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week, I brought a Petition on the Floor of this House about a hospital in Kyuso that was illegally closed down. Yesterday, through informal consultations, Members of the Health Committee of Kitui County Assembly went ahead to wait the arrival of their Senate counterparts in the Committee on Health at the hospital to understand the issues. That Committee has not gone there. I can confirm, through the Chair of the Committee who is here, that there was no business that the Committee on Health transacted today. I am told that tomorrow, Members of the Senate Committee on Health of the Republic of Kenya will meet Kitui County Government Executive to discuss funding of hospitals. What a shame! That Committee cannot be the same to deal with this matter. It must be another committee and other Senators or else we should suspend this matter. I thank you."
