    "content": "Initially, when this country was divided into provinces we were putting them at the provincial levels. Now that we have gone the county way, it becomes logistically very difficult for somebody who is in Lodwar to come and collect blood from Nakuru. That has been very difficult. That is why in Rift Valley, we had one in Nakuru and another one at the MTRH. It is unrealistic when we say that we want to establish blood transfusion services at the constituency level. We can only contemplate establishing them at the county level so that within every county, you can have the National Blood Transfusion Service. For example, if you talk about blood transfusion services in a country like Japan, you will realise that they have the prefectures which are provinces. They only have eight facilities of that nature. So, for us as Members of Parliament to say that we want to put it in every constituency, we are not realistic. Let us make it as realistic as possible by proposing that we have it at the county level."
