    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this Petition. I commend the residents of West Pokot County for this Petition. Health is a basic need that we cannot ignore. If the residents have an issue, the Governor needs to realise that there is an issue that needs to be addressed. While at the Devolution Conference, health came out very strongly as one of the Big Four Agenda items. Therefore, we cannot afford not to listen to this Petition. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support Sen. Olekina, who observed that the Governor of Kakamega County, H.E Oparanya, is doing a commendable job. I insist that all governors should do what Governor Oparanya is doing because we need deliverables in the health sector. For us to have deliverables, governors need to be sensitive, especially to the issues of the health of their residents. If the health sector is ailing, all sectors in this country will ail as well. We cannot have a productive nation if citizens are not healthy. I, therefore, thank the petitioners and I suggest that the Governor should know that it is well meaning for this Petition to be brought to the Senate. This is because governors will be sensitive to the issues of their people and address them. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
