"content": "Mandera County has the highest maternal maternity deaths in the world at 2,750 per 100,000 people. We do not live on the moon; we live in this country. These deaths are nearly 7 or 8 times the national average. Even with the attention that the First Lady has drawn on this matter in the last two years, there is no deliberate change in the policy of the Government as we speak on addressing that problem. The coming financial year, the Government plans to spend Kshs.53billion in the Ministry of Health in Nairobi. It will be interesting that this House and Parliament in general has the mandate to allocate resources to areas of priority, yet we have failed, as an institution of Parliament, to give priorities to the suffering and concerns of our women, who are dying in their thousands while delivering our babies. It will be a shame if we look forward to a marathon rather than deciding to allocate resources. That is important."
