    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to speak to this very important Motion. I have been persuaded to speak to this Motion because of what I witnessed in my constituency probably about a month ago. As we all know, we have devolved the health function to the counties. But it is sad the way this function is being performed in the counties. I was launching sports activities towards the December holidays at Ebusakami field in my constituency. Different disciplines of sports were taking place like netball and football and our children were participating. We had requested to have medical services from the county government. Without being callous, some of the participants got injured. A footballer and a netballer got injured and got their limbs twisted as they were playing. Just across the fence, a funeral was taking place at an adjacent church. It is sad that the vehicle that was performing the role of a hearse at the funeral was the ambulance that has been bought by the county government to save lives. I looked at it and said: “What an irony?” The purpose of an ambulance is to save lives. An ambulance should not perform the roles of a hearse. When I saw this Motion, I said that this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
