    "content": "Hon. Chairlady, thank you for giving me the opportunity to second this amendment. The gist of this amendment is to hasten the construction of houses for nurses. When we discussed this at the Committee and in consultation with the National Treasury and the Ministry of Health, we felt that the performance of the CDF projects have been faster in the past, better and many times were cheaper. Therefore, it was felt that this is something that needs to be done urgently. We are all aware that we have just offered, as a country, free maternity services across the country. That is something that will be dependent to a large extent on the work of nurses who work in health centers, dispensaries and hospitals. You are also aware that we have approved a budget to employ 30 nurses in every constituency. It is, therefore, important that we move fast and with speed and make their lives comfortable by constructing those houses. So, we felt that these funds should be moved from the Ministry of Health to the CDF. I am sure that now that it is going to the CDF, this amendment is unlikely to face any opposition. With those few remarks, I beg to second."
