    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the Statement by Sen. Kwamboka. I support it because when you are still living in this world, you cannot swear not to visit a prison, a mortuary or a hospital. As human beings, we need to focus on the health concerns or environment of these facilities. There is overcrowding in these facilities and the conditions are deplorable. Mind you, this is where human beings are kept. They are our children, brothers and sisters. As my sister has said, there is need for responsible institutions to look into the health concerns of these facilities. The conditions there need to be improved because overcrowding leads to many health complications. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other day when we lost children in Kakamega County, it was reported that they suffocated because of overcrowding. What about where people live for years or months while they wait for their cases to be determined? As I support this Statement, it is important for the Committee that will be mandated to look into this issue to take into consideration what has been outlined in the Statement, so that we help the people in those facilities."
