    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am in the right place; I do not know why my colleagues are surprised. I rise to support this Bill. If you give birth to a child with minor disability, you do not kill it. You take the child to the doctor, who will assist the child live a normal life. The Bill has one or two issues that need to be amended, this is why the next stage of the Bill is the Committee of the Whole where Members will come up with amendments and ensure the Bill is improved and usable by our counties. Hon. Senators are the champions and protectors of devolution. We should not kill a Bill that is supposed to assist and ensure devolution run well. This afternoon you have heard that there is no medicine in Lodwar County Referral Hospital. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was there this morning and it is in a terrible state. Yesterday, we were in Laisamis Constituency in Marsabit County. The Turkana wind power management told us that before they moved to that particular constituency, out of five mothers who gave birth, three of them would die during childbirth. This is because there were no dispensaries or health centres, but they have been able to do something. I hope with the passage of this particular Bill, our governors will ensure that the resources are retained within the facilities so that they are improved, there is medicine, nurses, clinical officers, and volunteer health workers within those particular facilities, get a stipend. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
