    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Minister, at least, for making the effort to identify the parts of this country which lack district hospitals. He mentioned that they intend to construct 42 sub-district hospitals countrywide, Marsabit North being one of them. North Horr is an exceptional circumstance. It is the largest constituency in this Republic and it is bigger than three provinces of Western, Nyanza and Central combined by a few kilometres. Unlike other regions of northern Kenya, we do not even have a single mission or private hospital, let alone a Government hospital. My people from Ileret have to travel for 550 kilometres to reach Marsabit Hospital. Every year, we have up to ten maternal deaths. Mothers are children are losing lives in North Horr and cholera is a common problem in that particular part of this country. Realizing that this is a very unique circumstance, could the Minister commit to look for funds, whether from development partners or the Treasury, to construct a hospital in Marsabit North as soon as possible?"
