    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As counties in the ASAL region, we are seeking that the Universal Health Care percentage be increased from 20 per cent to 100 per cent because a lot of people in the north are affected by lack of hospitals. We have had initiatives like the one by our former first Lady called Beyond Zero Campaign. It aided us very much but in a way, it was not sustainable because the ambulances that were provided ended up being written off at some point. You cannot compare an ambulance you use from Chalbi to Merile or from Lodwar to Loyangalani to be in the same condition as that one that tours around tarmac roads. Lack of water and lack of proper infrastructure has tremendously affected other development spectrums, for instance, education. The north is marginalized because there is poor education system and the level of literacy as quoted by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, stand at 87 per cent in Samburu County. I can say as a person who was born and raised in Samburu that one of the factors that has contributed to high illiteracy levels is poor infrastructure. A lot of schools have been closed because some students cannot access school while some stay hungry. So, you are torn between thinking about whether to study or if you will have some food to eat."
