    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, overall, the Government of Kenya, as we speak, has, at least, 3,700 health facilities; these are dispensaries, health centers and hospitals in this country. These include 275 hospitals, 595 health centers and 2,800 dispensaries, some of them not yet opened. I am sure that even in your constituency there are dispensaries that operate half day. They work between nine and midday because the clinical officer who comes there has to go to another facility on the same day. When I was preparing this Motion, I had this discussion with some clinical officers and some doctors; it happens that sometimes you find that most parts open at night and clinics and dispensaries close at 5.00 p.m. Even a sub-district hospital in some parts of this country has a single or two clinical officers, a single or two nurses and no laboratory technician. So, they are forced to close facilities at 5.00 p.m.; when some of them close at that time on Friday, they will open again on Monday at 9.00 a.m.; it is as if Kenyans are well, or do not fall sick over the weekends in these parts of the country where they close the clinics on Friday at 5.00 p.m. and open on Monday at 9.00 a.m. This is simply because of shortage of personnel."
