    "content": "When we talk about community health workers, what this Bill does is to separate the community health workers from formal health workers. What troubles me is that you see that there are structures in place when it comes to reporting mechanism and governing structures. The Bill is putting community health workers aside without considering the budget. Let me break it down so that we can all understand what we are dealing with. A county like Kakamega will need a minimum of 8,000 community health workers, who will have a head - the person in charge - who will report directly to the CEC Member for health. Remember that community health workers serve Level I hospitals. When you go to the formal structure, that is, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4 and Level 5, their reporting mechanism is defined in the Health Act. They go all the way to the director of medical services and eventually, end up at the CEC Member in charge of health where they can discuss. When you come up with a financial burden--- In this country we are alive to the fact called minimum wage, particularly to a health worker."
