    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I join my fellow Senators in congratulating Sen. Shiyonga for this timely Bill. First of all, I wish every one of you a happy new year. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very timely Bill because most hospitals in the counties have no medicine. When we enquire as part of oversight, most governors say that they have problems with KEMSA. So, if they are given the opportunity to even procure from elsewhere, they will have no excuse to lack medicine in hospitals. Medical equipment will not go to waste either. Since health is a devolved function, they should also be allowed to see where they can procure this medication. Our citizens in the counties are really suffering. County hospitals have absolutely nothing. There is no medication, gloves, vaccines or X-ray services. You cannot even be tested for malaria or any disease. The claim is that KEMSA is having issues with counties. So, this Bill is very timely if it can solve the medicine problems that we have in counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support and pray that this Bill sees the light of day."
