    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will only take two minutes because of the flight to Mombasa. First of all, let me thank Sen. Hamida for the Statement she brought in regards to medical interns. In fact, the problem is not only with medical interns. It is with all health workers in our hospitals, health centers and dispensaries. I went to Laisamis Hospital in Marsabit County in January. There was a nurse working on a patient without gloves. She was wearing nylon paper while treating an extremely ill boy. He needed some infusions and the pipe that is supposed to help him was not available in that hospital. It had to be transported all the way from Meru, and it came the following day. That is the situation our health workers are working under. Having said that, let me also say that the issues in our hospitals are not only on interns and medical health workers. Today, we have a problem in Marsabit. We lost three lives yesterday. There is a disease called Kala-azar carried by mosquitoes, and 25 people are now under medication. The kits for testing Kala-azar are not available in Marsabit County. I want the Government to note that the people of Marsabit are dying in numbers. First of all, I thank the KEMRI Director General. I spoke to him this morning, and he has already dispatched his team to Marsabit. I want the Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Health to take note."
