    "content": "know you have visited referral hospitals are more than 100 or even a million yet here in Kenya we are only talking about five. The burials we attend every weekend are because of inadequacy of personnel and facilities in most of our health institutions. No one knows when one will become sick and where. We should not concentrate on the five referral hospitals. One day you will go for official duty, as the Temporary Deputy Speaker, to Turkana and while you are there, you may fall sick and you will need medical attention. You will not get it because we have only concentrated on the five referral hospitals which are far from Turkana. Jesus himself went around treating people. He could not manage because he was limited until he died and changed himself into the Holy Spirit. That is a strategy we need to use as a Government to ensure every citizen in Kenya accesses health facilities wherever they are. It is not their liking that they are far. I want to support this Report, but first the Government should take it seriously and implement the recommendations of the Committee. More so, we urgently need to improve all public hospitals in the 47 counties just like we struggled with the Division of Revenue Bill so as to ensure all counties get their money. We must also take appropriate action and ensure all public hospitals in the 47 counties are well equipped."
