    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is correct. We are aware of this bottleneck at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital as a result of the shortage of theatres. It is because of this that we are planning to decongest the hospital by expanding Huruma Sub-District Hospital. A key reason why the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital has a heavy workload is lack of a district hospital in the larger Uasin Gishu District. This not only stretches facilities at the hospital, but also visits upon patients a higher cost of treatment as fees at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital are a little bit much higher than those at district hospitals. As soon as we can get enough resources, we have already acquired additional four acres of land at the Huruma Sub- District Hospital. We shall definitely develop it, so that it can ease the pressure on the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. Finally, we must congratulate the Chief Executive, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Prof. Meng’ech, who with his team has done very well in trying to get development partners support in providing facilities at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. I am currently working with both the Chief Executive and the Board to expand this support and not only ensure that Huruma Sub-District Hospital is properly developed, but the facilities that I have referred to earlier are also put in place in good time."
