    "content": "I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was in the other room listening to the Senator raising this Statement and had to wait, so that I can comment. Article 43(2) of the Kenyan Constitution gives every Kenyan a right to emergency medical treatment. When I hear that a patient was at a hospital and because of the delay in raising funds, that patient could not be given access to medical services, I believe that hospital does not deserve to have a license. I think in 2018, the National Assembly was reviewing the amount of fees charged by hospitals in this country, so that it ensures that this right, which is enshrined in the Constitution, is not only there in paper. Most of the things that we experience in country are simply written, but in practice, you cannot really enjoy the freedoms. If this is the only thing we will be remembered for doing, so be it. We need to work closely with one another to ensure that we have a healthcare system that can help Kenyans."
