"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I want to wish everyone a happy new year, including other Kenyans who are watching the Senate proceedings right now. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.41(1) of the Senate, I beg to move that the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.53 of 2021) be read a Second Time. Mr. Speaker Sir, with this Bill, there are a few amendments that I proposed as an individual. During my time in the Committee on Health, whenever officials of the county assemblies or the county governments appeared before the Committee, they used to have a problem and they used to complain when it comes to the fill rate of the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA). As we stand now, there is a problem in the counties when it comes to KEMSA. The KEMSA is not able to meet all the demands of the supplies and the requests that the counties place before it as an authority that is mandated to supply drugs and medical supplies that are supposed to assist the facilities when it comes to our patients."
