Mbadi who is mourning his mother. At the same time, I want to take this opportunity to draw the attention of Members to something that is of great concern and which affects most Members of Parliament. I hope Members of Parliament will listen to what I am about to say. It is with great sorrow that I would like to say that our health services in our counties have deteriorated to a level that you cannot believe. In Kangundo District Hospital yesterday, the mortality rate rose. We lost six babies during birth. It is a total shame when we are sitting as leaders politicking, when mothers in this country are losing babies after a nine months period of pregnancy. This is an issue where probably next week I will bring it to the attention of the House. I will move a Motion and discuss what is happening on the ground, especially to our mothers in this country."}
