Member. Indeed, one of the reasons why we do not have a doctor there at the moment is because of the shortage of doctors. But we are planning to hire about 120 doctors soon. Since Githunguri has a population of 150,000, they do deserve a doctor. But the most important thing is to ensure that if they have a doctor at Githunguri Hospital, that there are facilities that he can use. If he is a physician or a surgeon, we make sure there are facilities there, so that people who go there are not referred to other facilities. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will work with the hon. Member to respond to the needs of Githunguri, particularly after hiring those doctors."}
