    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply as follows:- I am aware that Meru General Hospital does not have an ICU. This is very regrettable because the hospital has a bed capacity of 328, an occupancy rate of 160 per cent and ten wards. Therefore, for it not to have an ICU is a tragedy. Nonetheless, the fact of the matter is as follows: The Lions Club International, a development partner working with my Ministry, took up construction of the ICU in 2006 at an estimated cost of Kshs5.5 million. Construction was done up to the slab level at a cost of Kshs1 million. Unfortunately, the development partner ran short of funds causing the project to stall. However, Lions Club International has plans to revive the project. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 17th October, 2008, club officials visited the hospital and confirmed that they are in the process of mobilizing funds to complete the project. In the event that they will not have mobilized funds to complete the project by the end of the current financial year, my Ministry plans to factor its completion in the Development Vote for the 2009/2010 Financial Year."
