    "content": "enough PPEs, instead of the PPEs lying at the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) stores here in Nairobi? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is a lot on healthcare. I understand that there is a health policy. One of my worries on healthcare is that some counties will be left behind and some will go ahead. If I happen to be in the county where there is nothing, then I am condemned to death. What is the national agency that is responsible for national standards and polices doing to ensure that all the county health institutions are up to the standards that they have laid out? What are they doing to ensure that I feel that I am okay even if I go home to Busia? What are they doing to ensure that we have the type of standards, equipment, and personnel like doctors, clinical officers, and nurses that are required for Level Five and Level Four, Level Three, and Level Two hospitals are there? What are they doing to ensure that those are there in all the county governments? If I may say so, what are they doing to supervise? Although the health function has been devolved, I still think that the national Government has a lot to do, particularly in terms of national policy, enforcing the national standards, regulating and setting up regulations on various hospitals, and so on. At least, he dealt with health, but there are other issues. If the Constitution is amended and the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) proposal comes into force, in next year’s address, we would like to hear in some detail what progress we are making to ensure that our citizens are free from hunger. What steps have we taken to ensure that our citizens have access to clean water? What steps have we taken to ensure that we have social security? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, these are some of the things that I will personally look for."
