    "content": "There are no drugs, you cannot be given services. We really have to ensure that there are drugs in our medical facilities. I hope that if these amendments go through, and if the National Assembly agrees with us, counties will not be complaining by saying that Parliament passed a law that restricts them. You hear every governor saying that their hands are tied, they must wait for KEMSA. To some extent, they are right because if KEMSA does not have those drugs or those pharmaceuticals and non-pharmaceuticals, it means that they you have to wait. However, now we have opened up MEDs that is run by the Catholic Church among other organizations, you can now buy just the way you want to buy from a shop. If you do not get from this shop, you can walk to the next shop. This will encourage competitiveness and enhance service delivery. This is part of the reforms. I thank Sen. Shiyonga for bringing this to our attention since KEMSA reforms are long overdue. We must reform KEMSA. This is a tip on the iceberg. I wish that the law is amended. Congratulations, Sen. Shiyonga. You have proved to the world that women can also lead. We wish you well in your endeavors because this is the year. I am told that she is running for Women Representative Seat in Kakamega and I hope that she runs on United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party."
