    "content": "Those diseases can be well maintained, controlled and prevented if our country has enough community health workers. Again, the Bill proposes that the council headquarters be in Nairobi. I suggest having branches in almost all counties so that those services are readily available. I am sure that once this Bill is approved and passed, many community health workers will be recognised and receive good pay. We need to give them proper identification so that they are easily identified. We also need to provide them with first aid kits to use in remote areas because hospitals and dispensaries are very far. Community health workers are passionate about helping people in the community. So, they should be given the gear that they need. Most of them walk, and shoes should be provided to them so that they can reach people in different areas and provide services. We are exposed to different diseases in different areas. I have already talked about the qualifications. The Bill also speaks of disciplinary measures in case of any violation. If one does something wrong, it provides disciplinary action. As a country, we need that to enhance our services to the people. Hon. Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I support and congratulate Hon. Martin for coming up with this Bill.
