"content": "I rise to support very strongly this Motion by our good friend, Hon. Koinange. Since Independence, all the successive governments, whichever government that came to power, one of the things it talked about was healthcare. Even when we were campaigning, one of the major things that we used to talk about was health. This Eleventh Parliament should work on legislation that will make sure that we have universal healthcare for our people. Dr. Kibunguchy has pointed out that there are some very new diseases like hypertension. We also have other cases like accidents involving our boda bodas and our young people, whom we have tried as much as possible to create employment for. When I was born, I found a dispensary called Endarasha and it is still in the same state which I found it in; there are no doctors, laboratories or medicines. For example, in Nyeri, all emergency cases are referred to the Nyeri Provincial General Hospital. As we talk about providing health care services, we should also equip our hospitals and dispensaries, so that we can reduce the backlog that we have."
