    "content": " Thank you, Hon Speaker. My point of order is on something different from what we were discussing. Hon. Wario has ably presented the Statement. The rest can be followed up later. I am going to be brief because I know we should get to the main business that brought us here. I am rising under Standing Order No.44(2)(b), which says: “The Leader of the Majority Party, or the Leader of the Minority Party as the case may be, or their designees may make a statement relating to their responsibilities in the House or the activities of a committee.” I am standing here to raise a matter which I think is of interest to us as House. It is a matter of accountability, more importantly, an oversight function of this House. As the Leader of the Minority Party, I was present when we passed the last Supplementary Budget. We were magnanimous as a House and decided to cut the budget of Parliament by Kshs3 billion. We decided to ring fence that money and channel it directly towards mitigation of COVID-19 cases. We allocated that money to about nine regional health facilities. If I can remember, we allocated Kshs500 million to Kenyatta National Hospital, Kshs500 million to Kenyatta University Teaching and Referral Hospital, Ksha400 million to Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Ksha400 million to Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Hospital, Ksha500 million to Coast General Hospital, Ksha300 million to Kitui and Mandera hospitals and some amount to Mbagathi Hospital."
