"content": "When you come to conditions of services that Dr. Munyaka, MP for Machakos Town has talked about, I myself have said in House that this Government needs about Kshs85 billion in the next three to five years, to make sure that the delivery of health services is enhanced by putting in place infrastructure, equipment and environmental service that is in consonant to modern needs. I know that because of competing needs of the Budget we cannot get that Kshs85 billion instantly. However, we have made a baseline survey and our teams continue to visit hospitals to assess the situation. Indeed, the work of rehabilitation and equipping hospitals is going on every day. But it cannot be done overnight. Just like when we started Free Primary School education, it took some time to get far. Just as we started the CDF, it has taken sometime in our constituency to rehabilitate all our schools. The same is true in the medical services; the services have not been invested in effectively for over 25 years, with a tremendous backlog of work to do. So, I will appeal to the nation, to the medical professionals let us be understanding, let us be patient, let us know the facts. Let us not run away from speculation and emotional statements, and deal with the condition as it obtained in our time."
