    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Minister does not peddle propaganda. I give facts as I know them. I am informed by reliable administration officers that some of the evictees have returned to their homes. I had no reason to doubt that. If the Member says that they have not, I also have no reason to doubt him, but I will have my people on the ground to assess the catchment area. I will also ask my Provincial Medical Officer (PMO) in charge of that area to ascertain whether there are adequate services for the evictees, even if it means visiting the camp. With regard to ambulances, we are still waiting from the Treasury because it is the one which was procuring them. My Ministry is in constant touch with the Office of Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance and we have asked them to speed up this because we want this to happen before the end of this financial year. We are in the process of acquiring about 90 vehicles which have been funded by the World Bank. These are not ambulances, but vehicles to support the District Medical Officers for management. I think Members should thank me for my efforts. One of these vehicles should go to Masinga. We will give priority to districts which have no vehicles at all, but we will still wait for the ambulances. With regard to drugs, I am told that there is a great improvement in the provision of drugs. I do not have any other complaints coming because of drugs. I will personally check why drugs are not delivered to that area in time. We have improved greatly on the delivery of drugs through the assistance of KEMSA. However, I will check on that because we have drugs for everybody. With regard to the staff, I have explained that my mandate from the PSC was to employ nurses from the constituencies. That is what Members wanted so that their people would not be left out as the Ministry employed people from elsewhere. We have now requested to employ from the districts which had a surplus. If Members know of any nurses in their constituencies who are not employed, they should, please, give me the list and I will employ them."
