Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was talking about the Cuban doctors and not the Luo doctors. I also established that the doctors who are given an opportunity by the County to pursue higher studies and paid by the county while on study leave are required to report back to the Ministry of Health for redeployment upon completion of their studies. This impacts negatively on the County for it invests in a doctor by training him or her then they may not come back to benefit the same County.

professional should be bound to go back to the county and perform his duties in the same county. I further urge the Committee on Health to take interest in the affairs of the Kakamega County General Hospital and consider paying a visit to this facility and the County Government of Kakamega to delve more into these issues in order to come up with a workable way of improving services rendered to the people of Kakamega County and recommend some policy options on issues affecting the health sector in Kenya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Before I contribute to this Statement, I wish to acknowledge the presence of the Kakamega County Assembly HANSARD officers led by Ms. Phyllis Ong‘ale who have come to benchmark with us here.

Lastly, I celebrate all Kenyans who stood by the families and came hand in hand to help those people who were trapped in that scene. I condemn those leaders who were seen at the scene ‘slaying’ – wanting to pose as if they were helping the people who were locked up in that hotel. We saw leaders walking with guns. Their main aim was to take photographs so that they count and post on their Instagram and WhatsApp pages---.
