    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker and Hon. Members. The question is for the Ministry of Health to provide a list of all community health promoters in the 290 constituencies. I would like to begin by saying that community health services aim at empowering individuals, families and communities to take charge of their health. Community health services are delivered by community health promoters at the household level. Some of the services that they provide are health education and promotion; disease prevention and control to reduce morbidity, disability and mortality; family health services; environmental health; first aid; psycho-social support; and, managing the general health data. Community Health Promoters (CHPs) are assigned approximately 100 households, which they visit on a routine basis. Each community health unit has 10 CHPs. There is a community health committee that oversees the affairs of a community health unit. Each community health unit comprises five to seven members, drawn from among the community members. There is a table that enumerates the community health promoters per county, but we have those names per constituency. Across the nation, there are 107,000 CHPs. If we were to print the list, it would be bulky. We are able to offer a soft copy of the list, specifically for Baringo Central Constituency and any other constituency that may want to see the list of the CHPs."
