    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. Madam Temporary Speaker, first of all, I want to thank the Mover for bringing this important Motion. This country’s health sector is one that I would say has been left behind. It is a sector that we can say is not only taking care of the sick, but is itself sick. My colleague here from Trans Nzoia has talked about a hospital that was built during the colonial days when the population was very low. It has retained the same facilities and beds in such a way that up to three or four patients have to share one bed even as they suffer from different diseases. It is a hospital which has no scan facilities or even X-ray, yet they used to be there. Madam Temporary Speaker, we have only 47 counties. Those are the ones that have been proposed to move to Level 5. I support that idea, but do not support the idea that we do it progressively. The Mover has already said that it will be from this year to the end of this term. That progression is already catered for. The major cost of living for our people today is food, school fees for their children and medical services. Medical services of late have proved to be the most expensive item. This has led to deaths. We attend funerals every weekend. From the stories we hear, you will realize that most of the 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."
