    "content": "I support this with the view that most of our people in the rural areas are suffering especially when it comes to healthcare. People die from very flimsy diseases. If you are sick and you live about two or three kilometers inside, people are taken to hospital on wheelbarrows in my constituency. When it is raining, God help you that you should get to a place close to a dispensary. However, if we have tarmac, even on a wheelbarrow or bicycle or tuk tuk you can get to hospital and hope to get medicine eventually. Whereas we are talking about other areas where we have serious problems with healthcare, the road network is mandatory because you cannot talk about health if you cannot access medication. I would request that even if the current Budget may not allow, we shift funds to make sure that we try and attain the requirements and expectations of this Motion, of a minimum of 20 kilometers of bitumen per constituency as a starting point. Going forward by the fifth year of this term of Parliament, we should hopefully be thinking about 120 to 140 kilometers of bitumen per constituency."
