    "content": "it even if it is child delivery, do so, in such an unprofessional way because of lack of training. Eventually, these patients are forwarded to the district hospitals or Level 4 or 5. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my observation, there is a little bit of disconnect. We need to concentrate on the village unit. The so-called volunteers are the ones who have been there. Even the training of the volunteers and remuneration had no budget in the county and in the national Government. This was left to well-wishers. That has to be processed and put correctly in this Act, so that when we talk about community health workers and community health promotion, we mean it. We cannot do it without taking water to the grassroots level. Therefore, we must have water in the village. That is the role of the county government. We have health facilities in the village. This is the role of the county government. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you put all this together, then it tells us as people protecting devolution, we have to be serious with this Bill which has been proposed by the Government through the Senate Majority Leader. When it comes to us, it needs enough time so that we can amend it sufficiently to serve the community. There is a very big problem of health processing in the community. It results in very many unnecessary deaths, especially now with many boda bodas in the country which have caused many accidents. Handling victims of boda boda accidents and outbreaks such as cholera, is so serious. We end up to losing lives unnecessarily. I, therefore, think that the main idea of this Bill should prevent the loss of lives at the very basic level. I support it with amendments."
