    "content": "They have cited that the Human Resource Policy and Procedure Manual for the Public Service Commission (PSC) is very clear that the internship programme is legal. Secondly, it is run using the relevant provisions of the Constitution, professional bodies and other policy guidelines. It is unfair that the people we have given such a noble task in the health sector, are the ones leading in terms of complaints. The Chairperson of the Committee on Health says that one of the biggest funding by Government goes to the Ministry of Health. I agree with him that this money should be sent to county governments so that they take care of this particular sector. I have never understood why the Ministry of Health takes the lion’s share of national Government budget, yet health is a devolved function. The Fourth Schedule is very clear on the duties and functions that have been devolved. Of the money that was allocated, Kshs385 million remained with the MoH. We want money to be sent to the counties so that we can end this suffering by medics. Even if we continue complaining and we are not sending enough money to the counties, they will not sustain this kind of programme."
