This is a wake-up call, as the immediate speaker has said. The same thing is happening in other Ministries. It is high time that the Government made sure that we have structures and systems in all departments, which will ensure that the fundamental rights of our population, you and me included, are enjoyed. When our people are suffering, the country is suffering and we cannot move forward. A country with sick people, or people who are unable to work, cannot move forward.

Is it that they train and after training the specialists are not paid well in Kenya and they decide to go for greener pastures?

On the issue of the board, it is a good idea and it will ensure that fertilizers are delivered at the right time and are accessible to all farmers in this country. Where I come from, Nyamira County, we have yellow maize in some regions while other regions never planted because they did not access fertilizers. Those who were able to access fertilizers, they were so expensive that some farmers decided to go the traditional way of planting without using fertilizers. This move to have a board will ensure that we have fertilizers that can be accessible to every individual ...

I want this House to know that there are some people who take advantage of farmers not accessing fertilizers. They acquire it and want to sell it expensively, that is at a price that the common mwananchi cannot afford. This happens at the expense of the poor farmer. So, I support the Mover and ask the House to ensure that our country has a board and manufactures our own fertilizer which can be acceptable throughout the country.

(Hon. (Ms.) Chae): Thank you, Hon. Speaker, Sir, for âcatching my eyeâ. I am Chae Alice, the County Women Representative of Nyamira. I stand to support this Motion with regard to health care. You will bear with me that any kind of sickness is an emergency. Nobody prepares to be sick in order to go to hospital. So, as long as you are alive, when you get to hospital, there is that commercial aspect. When you see one coming to hospital, you see money. Others look at
