Chebeni for this. The shortage of blood is a disaster in our country because we know that every minute and very hour there is someone in hospital and in need of blood. I want to be very brief and urge the Ministry and all Kenyans to be always alert. We seem to be always making noise to solve any problem in this country. I support the idea of blood centers in every county. I also encourage the counties to mobilize enough donors, so that we can have enough blood in our hospitals. I also encourage the young people to go and donate blood, because this is what will save some people’s lives. Proper planning can help our nation. I support the Statement and urge the Ministry and people concerned to work hard, so that we cannot fall again into the same problem that we are in. Thank you."}
