    "content": "people who we represent. This is especially so in the health sector. Right now, 60 percent of Kenyans are suffering. I applaud Sen. Olekina who is a member of the Committee on Health. He has proposed an amendment which I took note of. Looking at the further amendment that he proposed, I agree with him totally that we should not inherit pending bills incurred by county governments. I will propose an amendment that county governments that do not clear pending bills should not be allowed to make purchases because of incompetence in purchasing drugs. We should look for a way of accommodating them but, again, we should ensure that county governments with overwhelming pending bills do not continue misusing taxpayers’ money because that is mismanagement of resources. They should work on their pending bills, so that they also benefit from the amendments that we seek to propose in this House."
