    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will realize that every constituency and hospital require services. When we get a request from the Member for Kamkunji for a hospital in his constituency which lacks some equipment, he would not be happy if we tell him that we are diverting that equipment to another place which equally lacks it. So, we have priorities of where this equipment is needed most. However, I wish we could have enough money to respond to every need. Indeed, I have stated in this House before that were we to have every sub-district, district and referral facilities up to the mark, we would require about half the Budget of this Republic. That is not possible. So, as of now, up and until we can get sufficient resources from the Ministry of Finance, I am afraid, we shall keep on wanting more to respond to the needs of our people. In the meantime, we have received resources from our development partners, which we are using to rehabilitate several hospitals in the Republic as I speak today. I hope that before this calendar year is over, we are going to open quite a number of those, but that still leaves us with over 150 district hospitals un- responded to."
