You are aware that at this point in time, Mr. Assistant Minister has some common sense. This nation is suffering a huge shortage of nurses, leave alone other medical personnel. In New Nyanza General Hospital, there is one nurse to 60 patients, which is a terrible ratio. It is in the interest of the Republic of Kenya that a facility that already has buildings and is available should be augmented by the Government to respond to hon. Rotino's concern. I appeal to the Assistant Minister to look into the issue in a much more sympathetic manner than in which he is looking at it now."}
