    "content": "for the nation to move. When Kenya attained Independence, our fore-fathers identified three enemies, one of them being diseases. The way to fight diseases is by having proper health facilities which are properly equipped and have the necessary drugs. So, this Bill makes it necessary for proper distribution of drugs. It is necessary for us to have drugs accessed by any Kenyan across the country. This is very important. We have a situation today where there are many dispensaries which have been constructed through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) yet they are lying idle because they have no equipment, drugs and are manned by one or two nurses and yet if you go to the Kenya Medical Supplies stores, drugs fill the rooms. In the rural areas, drugs do not reach there. They stay in the stores until they expire. This is a waste of Government resources. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill addresses all these issues and makes it possible for the drugs to reach the people at the time they have been bought. We want a situation where whatever is needed in a dispensary or a health centre at whatever corner of this country or in whatever county is accessible and is reachable by the people. This is the time we want to address the health of Kenyans. If we have to get to Vision 2030, we want healthy Kenyans. We want healthy and strong people. With those few remarks, I want to support."
