    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to support the Petition by the Supply Chain Management Assistants. The issues raised by this group of staff are genuine. These are members of staff employed by the Ministry and posted to the counties. There is a clear breach of the public service provision where in 2022, as said in this Petition, the Compendium of Remuneration and Benefits for the Public Service, requires that all health workers are paid some health service allowances. It is sad that staffers who perform sensitive functions in the counties, like the ones in the Department of Health, are not being paid allowances yet their fellow colleagues are receiving allowances. It is inconsistent with the Constitution and unfair. If there is a clear breach of these provisions by the Ministry, those responsible should be brought to book and punished. It is important for the Committee on Health, that I believe you will give directions, to be clear. I support this. Health is devolved. It is our function to ensure the staff are paid their health service allowances. It is their right."
