    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this time. I also thank the Mover for donating two minutes to me. I rise to support the Report on the BPS. I would like to speak on only two issues. The first one is that having read this Report, I am hoping that more resources will be availed to the counties. Let me speak particularly on health matters. For a long time, women in the rural areas have been suffering, particularly in respect of issues of maternal healthcare like prenatal and antenatal care. I hope more resources will be availed for women this time round, so that no mother dies while giving birth. I am particularly concerned with the child mortality rate in Kenya. Instead of it going down, it is increasing. It behoves us in these modern times to ensure that we do not lose children. In future, we will have no population, if we do not intervene now. The other issue relates to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), specifically access to clean water and sanitation. I hope the Jubilee Government will take up this matter and ensure that every Kenyan has water. In fact, it is now being said that if you do not invest in water in this century, many people will die. We know that there is a lot of water in Turkana County. Let the Jubilee Government invest in water and pump it to every county in Kenya. I support."
