    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute. Before I contribute to this Motion, I want to say that I am really impressed by hon. Gitari because he has been bringing many Motions on health issues and he has been very prolific. A few days ago, I asked him whether he was a health expert and he told me he was not. So, I am impressed by his passion. Hon. Deputy Speaker, we have seen a worrying trend in this country in terms of cancer and other diseases like renal disorders, etcetera. We also know that those diseases are very common in the West and I want us, as a country, to study whether there is something related to our interaction with the western world and those diseases. Apart from that, our health sector is worrying and that is why I am interested in hon. Gitari’s Motions. I hope that, at some point, he can consolidate all those Motions into a Bill so that we can do something good for our health sector. A few days ago, when I was sent to Garissa for the Budget Committee public hearings, I spent the night in a very beautiful hotel. It saw a very scenic Garissa and the hotel was one of the best I have ever seen in the world. But as soon as I settled in my hotel room at around 9.00 p.m. a bomb exploded. The person who about to explode it died in the process. The most interesting thing is that, that guy was setting the bomb next to a hospital. It tells us that even with the suicide bombers, they know that if you explode a bomb near a hospital, nobody will attend to the casualties. They will die even next to the hospital. Hon. Deputy Speaker, when I came from Maralal this week, I had a few of my constituents who had suffered gunshots. It took us almost four hours for a doctor to come to the hospital and attend them. So, I want to say that I support this Motion and I want to say that we should devolve and work very hard to improve our health sector so that counties can have the medical facilities as proposed by the Mover of the Motion. I know some my constituents"
