    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have come across so many cases of fistula in our country. Many women and girls that are affected by this disease are being intimidated by the community. Men have run away from their wives because they cannot afford to stay with them because of the condition they are in. When they pass urine or go for long calls, somebody cannot stay with them because of the bad situation the women and girls that are affected go through. So, I urge the Departmental Committee on Health to team up with the Government to make sure that these women and girls are treated. Some of them come from very poor families. They cannot afford to even go to the hospital. Some of them come from areas like Trans Nzoia County, where I come from, and where we have a lot of squatters. They cannot even afford to purchase drugs. I urge Members to support this Motion, so that we can help these Kenyans who are suffering. I call upon my brother, Hon. Tim Wetangula, to second the Motion."
