Antony Oluoch","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, the Temporary Chairman. I am being reminded that you need to announce the change of Chair so that Members do not call you Madam Chair. On this allocation, there is an over-supply. I hope the Budget and Appropriation Committee Chairperson is listening because there is an over-supply in this Vote for the following reasons: Health services are devolved functions. There is no reason for the Ministry to retain Ksh116 billion at the Headquarters while basic education needs to be supplied are close to a similar amount. Whatever is happening in Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) indicates why this administration and the previous administrations have maintained money at the headquarters in a completely devolved function. We should maintain public health, disaster management, policy and administrative costs at a bare minimum."}
