    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I am seeking your permission to ride on this Statement. The Statement by Sen. Mwaura was sought when I was out. Sen. Mwaura is not only a Senator from Kiambu County, but I am also one of the leaders who have been actively involved in trying to ensure that things are done right in the counties. Madam Temporary Speaker, allow me to ride on this Statement because the matter about the hospital has been raised several times. It has not only been raised by MCAs, but also by members of the public. Alongside the issues that Sen. Mwaura has raised, the Committee that this Statement will be assigned to should further inquire on other issues on the Level 4 Hospital. The hospital was allocated enough funds to build about six floors. There have been allegations that the new regime decided to scale down that project despite money having been allocated. However, they did not explain whether the money was put elsewhere or what happened because the contract was given to the same contractor at the time when the scope of work was the same. The contract to build six floors was signed. What happened now that it was scaled downwards? Lastly, I join my colleagues in lamenting about the state of health, especially when a county government does not take health matters seriously, especially in an area like Thogoto. I come from Kiambu County and I know how serious the issue is. That area is heavily populated. I dare say that within the suburbs of Kiambu County that is, probably, the third most populated area. The loop side of it is that people who densely populate the place are of low means. They are not rich. How can that hospital stall yet there was public participation and the residents said what they wanted? This is now the fifth year down the line since that project was initiated. This is matter of concern to the people of Kiambu County. We will appreciate if this matter is expedited. It should cover the entire scope."
