    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I want to commend the Committee for making the decision to visit the counties. This is the only way that we can know the problems facing the public. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I only have two issues to add to what my fellow Senators have contributed. This is about the services. I was looking at the findings of the Committee and must commend the Chairman. We know very well that most of us are not receiving quality services in most public hospitals. There are poor services and I expected the Chair or the Committee to come up with this finding and suggest ways of addressing that issue, because it is a major issue. Many people are losing their lives because they are handled in a very careless manner. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I expected the Committee to also cover antenatal care matters. In their findings, they did not mention anything about antenatal care and maternity wards. This is a serious issue because most women and children are losing their lives in many counties. I would suggest that the Committee should find out which counties are most affected. But, I would want to commend the Committee on the county visits, because I know that there are some Committees which have not even made any attempt to visit the counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to also talk about the traditional birth attendants. I do not know whether it has been abolished. But in some parts of this country 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."
