    "content": "Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute in support of this Motion. I would like to commend the Ministry for the work they have done, particularly in the employment of nurses to man dispensaries. This has gone a long way in alleviating the suffering the people in the rural areas have been having. We had dispensaries constructed through the CDF and others constructed long time ago but were closed because of lack of personnel. I must commend the Ministry for this good job. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the only problem we still have is the provision of drugs. We still do not have sufficient drugs supplied to these facilities. I urge the Ministry to ensure that there are sufficient drugs this financial year to supply to both health centres and dispensaries. You find some health centres get dispensary kits. This anomaly should be corrected. I would like to urge the Ministry to provide transport to the public health officers. This could be vehicles or motor cycles. In my constituency, even the Medical Officer of Health (MOH) has no vehicle. The Ministry should look for areas without these vehicles and provide them. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to urge the Ministry to enhance malaria control. They should spray bushes, schools and markets so that incidents of malaria are reduced. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
