    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to petition the Senate on behalf of a section of leaders from Kitui County on the closure of Kyuso Sub-County Hospital. We, the undersigned citizens of the Republic of Kenya and residents of Mwingi North Constituency draw the attention of the Senate to the following: THAT, Kyuso Sub-County Hospital in Mwingi North Sub-County was closed on 3rd September 2019 citing alleged insecurity for a section of staff. THAT, security officers on the ground have dismissed reports of the alleged insecurity saying that no such reports have been made to them. THAT, the facility offers medical-care to the residents of five wards of Mwingi North. THAT, Article 43(1) of the Constitution provides that every person has a right to the highest attainable standard of health which includes the right to healthcare services. THAT, the people of Kyuso Ward and Mwingi North at large have been denied their rights to access primary healthcare by the closure of the facility, increasing the likelihood of life threatening illness causing irreversible damages or even death. 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."
