    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would ask my Governor, hon. Malombe, to communicate better and to be more accessible, especially to the Senator. When I seek to speak to the governor, I do not want anything personal. It is just about us working and making sure that things move in the right direction for the benefit of the people that we represent. I know I am as passionate about Kitui County as you are about Meru County. You said that when you begin doing these things, you make sure that things happen and I know what you mean. The next column which is very important is Column D on the allocations to CHPs. I do not want to speak for the other Senators because they will have an opportunity to speak for themselves and their counties. Let me speak about CHP allocations in respect of Kitui County. If there is a cadre of staff that needs serious attention and serious facilitation, it is the CHPs because they are our first line of defence in terms of health. These are the people that when there are issues in the middle of the night in remote villages, patients and families run to for assistance and first aid. Yet important as they are, they are the most neglected lot in the health sector. I speak with pain about CHPs because last Friday, I was with a number of them from Kitui County. By God's grace, I run a foundation called Kiio Wambua Foundation that carries out medical camps across the county. On Friday, we were at Kawii Ward in Kitui West Constituency where we attended to over 1,300 patients being assisted by 50 CHPs. These people are suffering because they have not been paid their money for many The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
