    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. A lot of things have been said, and I support the Bill. This Bill could not have come at a better time. Sen. (Dr.) Zani is here and the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Health invited me to a meeting with the Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS), Dr. Mwangangi. In the meeting we were discussing community health workers. It will shock you that the national Government, through the Principal Secretary (PS), Mochache and Sen. (Dr.) Mbito - we are calling upon you to interrogate PS Mwachache thoroughly - entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and paid Red Cross Kshs400 million and the African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) Kshs300 million to train community health workers in a shadowy contract. It comes in the wake of this. Health is a devolved function and even the recent medical leasing equipment scheme, the contractual relationship between the national and county governments was done in the same way; very shadowy and small letters on MoUs on matters like this. Secondly, other than the fact that the national Government is also taking away this function in a manner I have suggested in the MoU--- I hope that the Chair, in his speech, will tell us why the national Government is spending money at the national level through conduits, as opposed to giving this to counties."
