Most women who wanted to plan on giving birth this year are discouraged because small things which are basic to us are missing. Even extension officers who used to train farmers on good agricultural practices are also missing. We give counties money for floods, but at the end of the day, the governor gives Ksh5,000 or Ksh10,000 to victims out of the whole allocation. Out of the Ksh200 million which The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
