    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this chance to support Sen. Mwaura for requesting this important Statement on stalled construction of the Thogoto Level 4 Hospital. Health facilities all over the country have challenges. It is quite unfortunate, particularly for this case, bearing in mind that there was a budget allocation to the facility and yet very many years down the line it is not complete. This morning I got an opportunity to attend a meeting on population development. I realised one of the major resolution of the Conference that took place in Cairo in 1994 was universal healthcare. Very soon a very big meeting will be held in our country on the same to take stock of what has taken place. We realised that Level 4 hospitals across the country are facing challenges. The major challenges are corruption, financial mismanagement and procurement. Our president, Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, has taken universal healthcare as one of his Big Four agenda items. He is also keen on the fight against corruption. The Committee that will look into issues raised in this Statement should find out where the money that was allocated to the facility went because people of that area are not getting value for it. This is an important Statement. I urge Members of the Committee that it will be directed to look into issues in depth."
