    "content": "In addition to increasing the sharable revenue from 15 per cent to 34 per cent, the national Government supplemented the development agenda of many counties through financial grants, particularly in areas such as health and water. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my county, Marsabit County, County No.10, is a glaring example of this transformation. Today, our old hospitals such as Moyale and Marsabit hospitals have been refurbished. They are now good hospitals which can serve the residents of those areas. In addition to that, we now have new fledged hospitals such as the Kalacha Referral Hospital in my constituency which is the first one ever since Independence. We also have Laisamis Hospital in Laisamis Constituency, which is a fully operational hospital for the first time, where our mothers can have caesarean sections. Many other support services that are required in healthcare are being provided in these facilities. In North Horr Constituency, which is the largest in the Republic of Kenya, my people who used to travel from Telesgaye, a distance of 600 km to Marsabit Referral Hospital, can now travel for only 250 kilometres to the new refurbished Kalacha Referral Hospital and get the necessary support that they need. The distance has been reduced by more than half in four-and-a-half years. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
