    "content": "In this case, the position is up or the head is facing down. The community health workers and midwives who have the skill of determining a baby who is in distress or a baby who has not gone to the breech as they famously call it. I think the 3,200 community health workers in Kisumu should be registered. Secondly, their location should be known so that in part of the recognition, we want to know which area, location, sub-location, ward or village does not have a community health worker. Thirdly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, these people are working voluntarily. You should tell us what you used to do with these people when you were a governor. I know in Bungoma, there must be community health workers. Those people work voluntarily without pay and out of their own volition. Mr. Speaker, Sir, at some point, when you are not in the Chair, I would like to know whether you were paying them, you used to meet with them, or whether you used to call them to know whether they were treating people or whether there were diseases out there. Even without collecting statistics, governors are spending money sending people into villages to collect statistics yet even the community health workers can tell you; in this village, four women have given birth, three had stills births et cetera. Mr. Speaker, Sir, even in the recognition and pay, I think we can do terms of service for these community health workers. I learnt - Sen. Nyamunga has corrected me - that Kisumu County was paying them Kshs10,000. Maybe it was allowed because I heard it somewhere in a forum."
