    "content": "I thank him for having initiated the expansion of the former Kakamega Provincial General Hospital into a 750 bed capacity hospital. I also thank the Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST) for establishing a Medical School at the University. It is my dream to have the Medical School of MMUST to partner with the former Provincial General Hospital to ensure that we establish the Kakamega Teaching and Referral Hospital. I thank the President for his commitment towards this and MMUST for their commitment to the realisation of this project. I urge the current Governor of Kakamega County, Hon. FCPA Fernandes Barasa, to see the big picture and handover this project to the national Government and see the hospital become a Level 6 hospital in our region that will serve six million people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on housing, I thank the President for kicking off the construction of 4,000 houses under the Affordable Housing Project in Milimani area in Kakamega County. The works are underway and everybody is happy. I urge the President to stay the course. I am aware of the hue and cry of the former residents of Milimani area over the ongoing demolitions of their houses. I assure them that once completed the ongoing project will mitigate the current pain, which will include them being given a first charge on the ownership of the new houses.
