    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice on this Motion. Health is very important especially to human life and is a basic requirement. Any logistical support given to support matters of health is well accepted and well received, but sometimes when we want to legislate on matters of health, we do not look like we are selfish or look like there is the health for Members of Parliament and the public. We need to talk about the constituencies, that is the whole country. With the experience I have especially in my constituency, my Level 4 hospital is crying for medicines and equipment. If you see how the dispensaries are spread, they have not been audited to check whether they have medicine or they are just stalled projects. We have many stalled health projects, hospitals which are crying for not having medicines and hospitals which are crying for not having doctors or any support to them. So, I am feeling that as Hon. Members, we need to think about the health and these institutions. The Ministry of Health needs to come up with a way to save our country. If today we are to audit ourselves, the country will have almost 1,500 wards which are led by Members of County Assembly (MCAs). If today we can say every ward will have an equipped Level 4 hospital, this Parliament should not be thinking of having its own hospital. If today we fight for our Kenyatta National Hospital to have first class service, we should not feel as Members we need our own speciality in this Parliament. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my point of view is that I am not going to oppose anything in relation to support of health facility because I do not know the school of thought somebody used to come up with this idea. Maybe he was thinking to have a doctor sitting here or The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
