    "content": "As we continue to lose colleagues in the manner that we have lost the MP for Juja Constituency, it is a reawakening to this country on the state of the health sector all over the country. You will all remember that we buried the late MP for Matungu Constituency just because there was no oxygen available in the nearest health institution. I am sure that many more Kenyans have lost their lives due to lack of such basic equipment in hospitals. Health is a devolved function, but most of what we can talk about are just buildings. In those buildings, you will find medics constantly at loggerheads and in conflict with the county executive over the payment of allowances. Everywhere you go, you will find that there are no drugs, and if they are there, they are substandard. The Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KeMSA) that has the monopoly of supplying drugs to counties is embroiled in the most monstrous fraudulent activities. It is really sad. On my behalf, my family, FORD-Kenya and the people of Bungoma County that I represent, I send my heartfelt condolences to the family of our late brother and ask Sen. Wamatangi to keep us abreast with the funeral arrangements. I will personally be there to see him off because he was very dear to all of us. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
