    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to use this one minute wisely. I will start by thanking the Minister for the changes that he has made at the Kenyatta National Hospital. He has acknowledged that this being the main referral hospital in the country, the services and the management had been run down. I commend the new Chief Executive and hope that the Ministry is going to support him to ensure that the hospital gets the required facilities to offer the necessary services to Kenyans. Secondly, I would like the Minister to hear us out here. Those of us who come from the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands have unique problems. Specifically, following the creation of new districts, the only medical facilities that you get are only health centres and in many cases, dispensaries. As you know, these facilities do not have all that is required to offer the necessary facilities. So, we appreciate the fact that the Ministry requires a lot of resources to upgrade these health facilities, but with the little that the Ministry has been given, please, give us priority because these are people who are using herbal drugs. Therefore, in the absence of these services, they will just turn to quacks. Thirdly, and this is specifically to the sister Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation, it is a requirement that these facilities should have health management committees."
