    "content": "I stand to support this Motion. This Ministry is very much under-funded. The Ministry was allocated only Kshs13 billion which is a drop in the ocean. As you realise in our country today, medical services require much more than what has been budgeted. It is also important that the little money the Ministry received is utilized efficiently and effectively, so that services can reach mwananchi. For instance in my constituency, through the CDF, we managed to put up more than 15 dispensaries. Up to date, not even a single dispensary has been given staff. So, those projects meant to give services to mwananchi are almost white elephants. So, we need the Ministry to recruit new staff using the meagre resources that it has been allocated, so that medical services can reach the local people, especially the rural folks. The rural folks need medical services more than people in urban centres because they trek long distances to reach medical facilities."
