    "content": "Hon. Speaker, first, I would like to urge the Government and especially the Ministry of Health to make human resource and medicine available to hospitals. This matter, together with that of ambulances has been discussed vividly by hon. Members of this House, as I indicated in my presentation. Many people, and especially in remote areas are not able to access transportation and, therefore, people die on their way from the local area to hospital. I would like to urge the ministry concerned to give, at least, one ambulance to each constituency. I know that because even in my constituency, which is next to Nairobi, we do not have a single ambulance. Every time there is an emergency in my constituency, many people take taxis or they find other means to take their sick relatives to hospital. Hon. Speaker, Members of this august House have decried the issue of lack of medical facilities in a very big way and we know that many hospitals are facing that problem. But with empty hospital premises without equipment and medicine, we cannot help our people effectively. The other issue which was raised by hon. Members is on security. There is no security in many areas and I would urge the security organs concerned to put in place security measures so that people can freely move to medical centres or other facilities to access treatment. As I talk about security here, hon. Members should speak to the people on the ground to make sure that they do community policing in order to beef up security in different areas. Thank you hon. Speaker, I beg to move."
