    "content": "ambulances, we will make it so easy for governors to ignore very rural areas in two ways, provision of the ambulances and provision of roads. The reason our people are using boda bodas as ambulances is because there are no roads. They are using very narrow paths to take people to hospital. We know that in some areas you even have to carry people literally using a sack and four men to get them to the main road. We should ask governors to take responsibility of our health. Health is a right in our Constitution that should cover everybody. We should not give them an excuse to have any other form of ambulance. They should provide ambulances because that is what everybody pays taxes for. Equity and equality when it comes to health should not degenerate to anything else. Finally, Clause 22 is on insurance. I have read and asked myself if this insurance covers death or injury compensation. The line is very attractive that: “Every owner of the motorcycle shall have at the minimum a motor commercial public service insurance cover.” It is my hope that this arrival of an insurance will discourage careless driving of motorcycles. The only way we can do that is to make sure that there is compensation. In most cases, people who have died or are injured through motorcycle accidents have been left on their own. In fact, they part ways with the motorbike owner on the road. The motorbike owner is normally always different from the rider. The rider goes to take care of these injuries and any accident victim does not get any assistance anywhere. I persuade our colleague to think through how this motorcycle insurance can take care of injuries and death compensation in a way to deter careless driving. This should also stop owners from hiring careless riders. With those remarks, once more, I congratulate our colleague, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and freely mention that this Bill is long overdue. It will bring order to our country. I thank you."
