    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I support Sen. Kibwana’s Statement, I want to congratulate all the men in our lives, especially the special man in the life of Sen. Gloria Orwoba, who is going to give birth to a new Kenyan very soon. My problem is that I keep wondering whether it is fair that 60 years after Independence, women have to deliver in distress. The nine months that we go through while pregnant are enough distress. If two mothers who have delivered share a bed, it means there are two plus two youngsters sharing a bed. This is not only peculiar to the hospital that has been mentioned. It is the same case all over the country. In my own sub-county, I had a case of a mother giving birth at night in the darkness because there was no electricity, the generator had no diesel and they have no solar panel. You can imagine the distress our women go through as they deliver. The Committee on Health must look at such cases not just limited to MLKH, but all the hospitals. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to support the Statement by Sen. Mwaruma, that issues of boundaries must be looked into. I keep wondering when the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is going to be in place, so that the issues of boundaries are resolved once and for all. I thank you."
