    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have been here quite early and have been looking forward to this opportunity. At the outset, I wish to say that Mohammed Ali has done the right thing in bringing this Motion to the House. Healthcare in Kenya needs a serious radical surgery in all aspects in terms of infrastructural development, human resourcing and financial support. This must be done not only in Mombasa. Specialised healthcare is required in all the counties, and especially in far- flung counties like Mandera where I come from. The issue of concern in Mandera is that it has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world. This has been so because of lack of specialised doctors and equipment for various ailments. Mombasa is the hub for the coastal region, starting form Tana River County to the North and Taita Taveta County to the West. It is surprising that Kenya does not have a specialised hospital in that region, which has a population that is growing fast. I therefore support the Motion and request the national Government to put more resources into the health sector so that the lives of Kenyans can improve. Thank you."
