    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order 48(1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health regarding the situation of health facilities in Uasin Gishu County. In the Statement, the Committee should - (1) Explain the nature of compensation given by the national Government to Uasin Gishu County following the conversion of the then Eldoret District Hospital to Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) as per the commitment made by the Minister for Health to Parliament in the year 2003 in which Ziwa Health Centre was identified for upgrading to a District Hospital. (2) State whether the Ministry of Health has ever given any support to Ziwa Health Centre, which had been proposed for upgrading following the conversion of the then Eldoret District Hospital. (3) State measures that the national Government will put in place to upgrade the six sub-county hospitals to Level 4 status so as to reduce the congestion at the MTRH which serves the huge population of Uasin Gishu County as well as the referral cases from the western region and beyond. Currently, MTRH has started to reject patients with minor illnesses. I rest my case."
