AT THE HANDING-OVER CEREMONY OF 40 TH FULLYKITTED BEYOND ZERO MOBILE CLINIC TO LAMU
COUNTY AT MOKOWE PRIMARY SCHOOL ON TUESDAY 24TH MAY, 2016. Residents of Lamu, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, First, let me thank you Governor Issa Timamy, and the people of Lamu County for such a warm and hospitable welcome; asanteni sana. Its a pleasure to be with you all today, in a county endowed with a rich and renowned cultural heritage that attracts interest globally. I realise and I think we are all awarethat recent security challenges have detracted some people from venturing to Lamu, either for business or pleasure. But I commend Honorable Governor Issa Timamy, and the people of Lamu County for the unity you have demonstrated in the wake of such challenges, and for the commitment that you have shown to building a peaceful county. It is obvious that your efforts are bearing fruit, and that business and tourism are steadily recovering. That is good news not just for Lamu, but for Kenyaand we all celebrate that with you, even as we individually pledge whatever support we can give. One of the ways that I have personally committed to being of support to Kenya, and Kenyans is by seeking greater investment in healthcare and particularly, in the health and vitality of mothers and children. This has been my little thing as Wangari Maathai would say. I truly believe that health is the bedrock of everything good we want to see in this county, and in our country economic growth, peace, unity and security. Healthy
people are more innovative, and more productive people.
Healthy citizens can start and sustain profitable business. Strong, healthy women can serve their families better, invest more in raising moral children, and engage in economic activities more effectively. Healthy children can read, study, learn, dream and hopeand they are more likely to build a better future for us. I know this county shares that belief. It is evident in the amount of work that has gone into liberalising healthcare services for wananchi, ensuring maternal health care, and fighting HIV and AIDS. It is obvious in the fact that you have upgraded the maternity wings in some of your hospitals to include fully equipped maternity theatres, newborn units and ultra sound rooms. It is clear in the construction, renovation and refurbishing of health centres across the County, that the local government is currently engaged in. And is apparent in the measures you are taking to address any shortages in staffing, medicine and beds in the county. Moreover, the work you have done to improve sanitation and waste disposal management will undoubtedly yield a positive effects for all your people, including children who are so prone to malaria, diarrhoea and dysentery. I commend the local Government for these diverse investments in the health sector and I want to also thank your County First Lady, Dr. Hajara El-Busaidy, for being such a strong supporter of health initiatives in the county. Today, I am here to add a small contribution to all the work that is going on. This not my contribution alone, but the contribution of countless Kenyans, who have pulled together towards improving the lives of mothers and children across the country. So on behalf of those Kenyans, and on behalf of all the organisations, institutions and individuals that support
Beyond Zero, I am proud to hand over to the Lamu people
the new fully equipped mobile clinic here today. This is the 40th mobile clinic presented since the Beyond Zero campaign kicked off three years ago, and I have been incredibly humbled by the support this campaign has received from such diverse groups and people. Ultimately, I think this clinic really attests to the goodwill that we, as citizens, have towards one another. That goodwill needs to be seen more and more across this country. More and more, we need to see that understanding that we are one people, and that our destinies are all linked. This clinic, as all the others, stands as a symbol of unity that comes when we cooperate towards a shared future, and a shared cause and I hope that as we leave this unit here, it will foster greater unity among Lamu residents too. Bwana Governor, as you receive this clinic, I am hopeful that your government will find it helpful in supplementing all the initiatives currently underway in the county; I also suggest that we jointly partner with Beyond Zero to raise money to buy a boat ambulance for Lamu island. With those remarks, it is now my absolute pleasure to hand over the Beyond Zero Mobile Clinic kindly donated by Britam to you Governor Timamy and to the People of Lamu County. Asanteni Sana.
