"content": "For intensive care units in every constituency, we have to admit that it is a bit of a tall order, but it is a very good idea. An intensive care unit especially in my constituency, where we have 60 kilometers of the international trunk road, A104, is essential. That is the only place it crosses in the county because from Nairobi to Naivasha, there is Kinungi and Mai Mahiu but that section of the road is not a dual carriageway but the traffic is very heavy. The topography in that area is flat so, there is a tendency of over speeding. Almost on a weekly basis, if not on a daily basis, we have fatal accidents. The only health facility that is between Naivasha and Nakuru is a faith based hospital. I once took a road accident patient there and the only thing they could do was to give some pain killers. They could not commence any treatment until there was guarantee from somebody. I had to be the insurance for the patient. If we had a facility that would take care of such a person in Gilgil, it would have been easy and the patient would not have undergone a lot stress. It makes a big difference between evacuating a patient 50 kilometres away and 10 kilometres away. It might mean the difference between life and death."
