    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a response to the Statement on the House Resolution to allocate Kshs3 billion towards COVID-19 mitigation measures. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.44(2)(b) of the National Assembly, the Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. John Mbadi, MP, sought leave of the House during the afternoon Session of Thursday 18th June 2020 to request for a Statement on the implementation status of the House Resolution to allocate Kshs3 billion to various hospitals in the country to go towards COVID-19 mitigation measures. The queries on the said statements were whether the funds had been disbursed, how much and if not, why have the funds not been disbursed. Hon. Speaker, the Committee proceeded to call the Cabinet Secretary for Health to appear before it. We had actually invited him on 24th June 2020. Unfortunately, he could not make it but on 30th June 2020, the PS appeared. Her response, though given, was not really satisfactory. Her response was as follows: 37 hospitals were allocated a total of Kshs3 billion in the Supplementary Estimates II for the year 2019/2020. The allocations were as follows: 1. Kenyatta National Hospital and Mbagathi Hospital – Kshs600 million. 2. Kenyatta University Teaching and Referral Research Hospital – Kshs500 million. 3. Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital – Kshs400 million. 4. Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital – Kshs400 million. 5. Kitui Hospital – Kshs300 million. 6. Mandera Hospital –Kshs300 million. 7. Coast General Hospital – Kshs500 million."
