"content": "I would like to begin by commending the Committee on Energy, especially on their visit to the Thange River last week. It is unimaginable that the people of Thange are still grappling with the consequences of an oil spill that happened in 2015, yet the Government is almost mum on that issue. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appeal to the committee led by Sen. (Dr.) Oburu to go beyond just scratching the surface on that matter, but ensure that the truth of the matter in relation to that spill and the suffering of the people of Thange come to light. This is weird because the oil spill was detected in 2015. However, one cannot tell how much longer that spill was happening and how much longer these people have consumed contaminated water every day of their life. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in other democracies, that would be a serious crisis. There is a call to action in that happening to ensure a complete shutdown of the entire region, to clean up the mess before we can allow people to live, grow crops and take water from that place. A serious conversation needs to happen. On the matter of the inquiries that the Senate on Health are carrying out, allow me to say they need to move this in-house and country---"

"content": "I will do so, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On the matter of the Committee on Health, this team, led by the former Governor of Uasin Gishu County, must begin to deal with matters of healthcare beyond political statements. We do not want them to sit with politicians and come here to report their discussions with them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want this committee to carry out inquiries, go into hospitals and tell us why so many hospitals in Kitui County do not have drugs, why there are serious problems in Nandi County, and why the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret has issues. We do not want them to begin behaving like an ad hoc committee that sits with Cabinet Secretaries and politicians and they are told what to come and tell this House. We want them to go to the ground. Health is a very critical function of this House. It is a devolved function. We have a doctor, Dr. Khalwale, among us. I am not sure whether he is a Member of that committee. They need to consult him so that he can lead them on how best to take up matters of health. This issue of sitting in boardrooms and bringing us reports--- If I was marking for that committee on the report that they have given, I would have said they have done very poorly. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, these committees must begin to do work. This is a serious thing. Health is not something that we will be cutting deals on. We will not. We will demand that action be taken on health issues. I thank you."
