    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Your chair is honoured. It is a privilege that I am here today to contribute to these amendments and I rise to support them. When it comes to healthcare systems in this country, I empathise with the position of Kenyans. I empathise with our very own because I recently overheard, though I have not seen one anywhere in Rangwe, that there are doctors from Cuba. But there are so many young people who are fully trained as doctors for five years and very many nurses who are trained for the duration that is required but they have no placement. Doctors are the most poorly paid professionals in this country. As we look at these amendments, it is a shock that healthcare was devolved. But depending on the functions that are done in the counties, there are health facilities that are completely run down. There are healthcare facilities that honestly you would not want to put someone with blood and flesh to stay in. So this matter needs to be taken seriously. As much as we are looking at the highest echelon of management, it is better that we concentrate on service delivery at the grassroots level. A case where a woman goes to deliver and there is no water, I am expecting you have children, and if you do, you know how much blood comes out. And it comes out from every other woman that delivers. The delivery is done and there is no water."
