    "content": "Even in Samburu, we do not also have any medicine. Therefore, that is one request I would like to make to the Committee. The other recommendation, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is that they should also have come out saying that, at least, every district or county hospital should have a certain number of ambulances. Our people are suffering; some health centres which are about 50 or 100 kilometres away and which were built by the President under the Economic Stimulus Programme when President Uhuru was the Minister for Finance have not, up to now, been opened. The buildings are there, but they have no staff, medicines or ambulances. This Committee should undertake to tell us how many of those hospitals or health centres are operating now. This is because they could stay there for more than 10 years and become white elephants. That is the other request I would like the Committee to undertake. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to comment that these hospitals, health centres and even dispensaries, because of the mushrooming of land grabbers everywhere in the counties, should have their title deeds. I have seen that in some areas, they have even grabbed hospital land; like in Maralal. The area in Maralal is becoming smaller and smaller. I would like to add that all the counties must undertake that before the end of the year. I have said what I wanted to say. Thank you."
