    "content": "We cannot continue as a Senate that is supposed to protect devolution to allow the growth of the budget of Ministry of Health to rise exponentially from when devolution started and when the health function was devolved. As I speak, we have more than 10,000 health facilities being managed by county governments. The Ministry of Health, the civil servants and the bureaucrats in that Ministry must be willing to release the funds that they are holding. We cannot as a Senate continue allowing Ministries to undermine county governments, so that counties look like they are unable to perform their functions. Secondly, the question of training which has been a thorn in the flesh for health workers. Doctors need to go for training. The national Government is supposed to foot the bill, but they never allow the release of funds for training so that counties seem as if they do not want to support the health sector to grow."
