    "content": "can explain to Kenyans the prudence of doing that short of what they promised during the campaign period. I hope that this House will be strategic in enforcing tangible and productive development for this nation. We are targeting production. We are targeting basic amenities or services. For instance we are investing a lot of money in putting up houses for our nurses and other health care workers in rural areas. This is a very good thing. In some of our constituencies, including mine we do not have a single hospital or a single medical doctor. If I have enough nurses and health care workers who are well catered for and well accommodated I am sure they will deliver good services. A number of them would be hired to man the dispensaries and health centres that we have already established. In the Tenth Parliament I was able to put all the money that we were given as conditional grant, that is, Kshs17.5 million to put up a big theatre. We never had a single hospital in my area. I was pumping funds in the health centre that we were given. I managed to establish the theatre and because of that a medical doctor will be posted very soon to man the only modern health centre in my constituency. The thinking of this Committee in terms of focusing on those basic services especially in the rural areas is something that we need to commend them for. We need to urge them to do more even in future. With those remarks, I beg to support."
