Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Let me declare that I am a member of the Departmental Committee on Health where we put a lot of energy and time to come up with this Report. As a Committee, we looked at KNH from a very holistic point of view to make sure that Kenyans understand the systemic problem. Members need to understand that once a committee does a report, there is the implementation factor which will be taken up by the Implementation Committee of this House. They need to be guided by regulations within the ...

country. Coming from the same profession, I want to confirm to this House that the way devolution of health care happened was wrong. I want to pick up from the last Committee Report we did about devolution of health care. We were very clear. I know that Report is in the archives of this House. We clearly said that devolution of health system should not have been done the way it was done last time. But we know exactly what happened when the governors went and arm-twisted the administration of the day to ensure that health care was devolved with ...

I, therefore, plead with Members in this House, if we want to be realistic, we must start with the county government and they must tell us how they are using the conditional grants we send to them for health care services.

We want KNH to become the real referral hospital. It pains ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as a member of the Committee and this House, I am talking about the honesty of this Report despite the fact that there are Members who are trying to change the Report because of what they think we do not know. We need to be as honest as the Speaker is. He said – and we had a full House yesterday – it is either because of facilitation or because a political issue was being discussed. When I talk about bribery, I do not mean that there are people who are being bribed, but those are ...

the current DCI that we are waiting for that report concerning the patient who died a year ago in Kenyatta. The report must reach our Committee within 14 days. The days have started ticking. We also looked at the issue of security in that hospital. We were told that the nurses who mis-labeled the patient were doing a hand-over and they were trying to see how many patients had been admitted that afternoon. We heard that one patient who was in the same ward with Nderitu and Samuel and who goes by the name Francis, had disappeared. We have not ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have the right to raise a point of order on that. This is the problem I am having with Members who are cocooned within their own tribal scenarios. I do not belong to Kikambala. I represent the people of Matungulu. My name is Hon. Stephen Mule. We have been in this House together. Please, you need to understand all of us.
