    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also thank the Mover of this Motion because this has come at the right time when we are discussing the universal healthcare in the country. Military officers tend to be healthy until 40 to 45 years old. They join the service at a very young age of 20 and 21 years, or 23 years for cadet officers. Those officers do not use those military hospitals as often. We have about five Level 6 hospitals. We have one in Isiolo and another in Gilgil, Nakuru County. I request that the retired officers who have served this country for many years be prioritized. The second group that should be considered are senior government officials at the county and national levels. Instead of going to private hospitals like Nairobi Hospital, Aga Khan Hospital, MP Shah Hospital and others, those military hospitals can generate enough funds to help as many Kenyans as possible. Opening up those military hospitals to the public will give military doctors, clinicians, and nurses a larger platform to practice than when they deal with the healthy population in the military service. Those hospitals must go further to employ civilian nurses, doctors and paramedics. They should open up internships and other opportunities to the public. With those few remarks, I support. Thank you."
