    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I would like to support this Motion and the amendments made to it. I speak as an inhabitant of Baringo District and we are happy that we got another district, which is Baringo East. I empathise with the people of Baringo East. We have a situation, especially with regard to the provision of health services whereby if somebody is ill down at Chemulingot or Churo, they have to go all the way to Kabarnet District Hospital. We have lost thousands of people due to that. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other issue is with regard to education. In Baringo District, we have possibly 80,000 students, out of whom Baringo East has only 6,000 students. The majority, of course, come from my constituency. This is because the students from Baringo East do not have enough facilities. As a result, you will find that 24,000 students in Baringo East do not go to school and that is a recipe and catchment area for the so-called warriors who cause insecurity in the whole belt. Once we legalise Baringo East District and move the services like education, health and security closer to the people, I am sure this will improve the welfare of the people there. Thank you."
