Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. My Ministry has no plans to construct a dispensary at Burangi. At the moment, there is one dispensary at Merikebuni Location, which has a population of 9,000 people. We think that is adequate to serve the population. However, due to the distance, the local Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) should consider constructing a dispensary. My Ministry will provide staff and medical supplies.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what we all do in our constituencies, including myself as an Assistant Minister for Health, is use our CDF to construct dispensaries. I cannot remember when the Ministry of Health last constructed dispensaries. So, my advice to my friend, who also happens to be my brother-in-law, is that he should use his CDF to construct the dispensary.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what we have said - and may I repeat for the sake of my brother-in-law - is that every dispensary that has personnel should forward its name to the Ministry. The Ministry will send supplies and equipment there. But if the other facilities that he is talking about are completed, and we have a report from the public health officer that they are completed to standards, we are willing to send personnel there, so that they can be operationalised. Thank you.

Currently, the Ministry is only able to provide the 1.2 million women who deliver annually with one packet each, at total cost of Kshs50 million. However, since the duty on sanitary towels was removed during the 2005/2006 Financial Year, this has not yet brought the cost of these towels down.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to state, for the record, before this august House and the country, that after long deliberations, we realised that as a Ministry, we can be able to offer free maternity services to our women in this country. I would like to say that this is a move that will enable our very poor women, the majority of whom do not deliver in our hospitals, to come forth and deliver in our hospitals. I thought that this is something that the hon. Member can congratulate the Ministry for. Secondly, with regard to the issue of ...
