    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to add my voice to what the other Senators have said. I stand to support the Motion which has been brought to the Floor of the House by Sen. (Dr.) Machage. This Motion is long overdue because if you look around, the uneven distribution of health facilities in the country continues to widen. There are disparities in affordability and access to medical care. I take my county as an example. In Trans Nzoia County, we have a hospital by the name Kitale District Hospital. This hospital serves many neighbouring counties and even Uganda, but the hospital is ill-equipped. You find that we do not have specialized equipment and so when someone is suffering from a kidney problem or requires a CT scan, he or she has to travel all the way to Eldoret or come to Nairobi. If you have the frequency to attend the doctor maybe four times in a week, if you are having kidney problems, it forces you to relocate to Eldoret which is a very expensive affair. In the Constitution, there is a provision relating to health which my fellow colleagues have touched and it is, therefore, the duty The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
