    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, right now, we have got a problem. I was talking to the Chairman of the Doctors Association and he told me that they have got a big problem. A doctor is posted say, for example, to Marsabit. The conditions there are quite difficult. He is not given an allowance to take care of those challenges that he is going to experience. So, he quits and, therefore, the standards of that hospital remain poor. They have not yet developed local manpower that can take over from the doctor who has quit. So, to maintain standards, and health is a primary need of every human being, let us adopt that proposal given by the Departmental Committee on Health - that the role of the National Government goes up to Level 3 hospitals.So, what we are talking about is cumulative. That money should be channelled through the CDF. The CDF has done a lot of work. It has actually vindicated the contribution of retired President Kibaki, when we brought the Constituencies Development Fund Bill in this House. He said:- “Why did Kenyans not elect those two young men? They would have brought the CDF Bill here many years ago, and Kenya would have developed.”"
