    "content": "What I asked for are actually very weighty national matters; perhaps, a session like this is not all we need to interrogate it; probably we need a whole day’s conference to interrogate them. I will just go on two issues only, namely security and free maternity services. It is believed--- I want the Leader of Majority Party to clarify that part of the reason we have a lot of security problems in the country is because of the endless wrangles between the Chairman of the National Police Service Commission and the Inspector General of Police. I want the Leader of Majority Party to clarify what action the Government is taking to streamline the security sector. Clearly, in the Police Service, there are two centers of power and this is an impediment to implementation of security measures. On the free maternity service, I want to draw the attention of the Leader of Majority Party to Article 27(4) of our Constitution, which says the state shall not discriminate directly or indirectly (and the operative word is “indirectly”) against any person on any ground, including race, sex, pregnancy, marital status, health status, ethnic or social origin, color, and so on. The reason I bring up this matter is because in our country today, there are counties--- For example, I saw a documentary on Samburu county, where a single midwife is all there is to provide health care services, and some hospitals are as far as 30 kilometres apart."
