    "content": "I want to thank this Committee because they are able to expose the state of our facilities. Health is a devolved function and it should confirm why some of us were fighting for more resources for our counties. This is a devolved function, but we do not have the devolved facilities. Those of us with extremely vulnerable population have had a rough time, let alone this time we are talking about COVID-19. The issue that the Committee has brought out is important as far as the availability of facilities in terms of ventilators and basic oxygenation equipment are concerned. These are important facilities that any country in the 21st Century should have, but we still have problems, which brings it to us, because this is at our doorsteps as Senators. Health being devolved, we must start looking at the facilities that are being offered to our people at the county level. If they are not sufficient at the right level to deal with COVID- 19, we must think afresh and start talking to the Council of Governors (CoG) on where the priorities in the counties must take care of some of these issues, which are rights to Kenyans."
