    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you for this opportunity. I rise to support this Bill that has been brought by Hon. Martin Owino. The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 provides for healthcare as a right for all Kenyans. Kenyans should not be denied that right for lack of doctors. Therefore, this Bill has come at the right time to support that provision of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 on health care. Healthcare is very costly. Every day in my constituency there must a request for support for hospital dues and other kinds of tests. Because of the costliness of healthcare, we have lost many lives. Many people do not get access to good healthcare and, therefore, they die. Similarly, there are others who die because of lack of first aid. First aid in most of the cases is not provided by medical doctors. It is provided by the person who is closest to you at that particular time of the incident. This Bill seeks to sort out such problems. Community health workers are all over the villages. They are the first contacts to the sick or those who get accident. Many a time there are so many health fundraisings in my constituency. The fundraisings have even become more than those for school fees. Therefore, this thinking is good to sort out some of these problems. I want to thank His Excellency the President for thinking louder on healthcare. He has come up with Universal Health Coverage (UHC), which he talks passionately The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
