    "content": "Unskilled people in the name of the County Executive Committee Members (CECM) and officials from the Ministry of Health are running the health departments in the country. Someone picks a relative who may be a mechanical engineer, or a driver and tells him or her to head the health department. How do you head a technical or skilled department when you do not have the necessary skills? This is what is happening. That is why we have many cases of hiring and firing at will in the county governments. That is why you see many cases of corruption in the counties. Health is a devolved function. People should see the fruits of that department when money is committed to it. We devolved the health function because we wanted our people to access health services. It is what people suffer from most. Further, a majority of Kenyans are in the rural areas. People are not in towns. We devolved the health function so that most people who are sick and in need of medical attention, can access the services."
