    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion by hon. David Ouma Ochieng. I come from Molo Constituency; where at this point in time people of Molo whose population is about 350,000 are still without good medical care. At this point in time, we are still having people of Molo Constituency dying because of small ailments like choking coupled with the fact that we do not have very good road networks and most of the people die on their way to hospital. One case study which I would like to put at this point in time is that we have facilities in Molo Constituency; we have a sub-district hospital at Elburgon which is splendid. What used to be called the Nyayo Wards has splendid structures. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, sometimes when you visit these hospitals, you find that between shifts, we do not have staff and most of the time patients are having to queue and wait for the nurses and the only one doctor to come to the station. We also have a splendid structure called Mokorombosi Dispensary, built with CDF and which serves an area of over 25,000 people which has never been operational for the last ten years, simply because we do not have doctors or health personnel to man it."
