    "content": "Why do we have the about 250 Universal Health Coverage (UHC) staff who were committed to the County Government not absorbed by the counties? With all these monies, every county can budget for the UHC staff and absorb them as their employees. The UHC staff are suffering because they are paid about Kshs5,000. If one has a certificate, he is paid Kshs40,000 and yet, their counterpart, who is employed by the national Government, is paid about Kshs70,000. We need to fight this inequality. It can only be done once this money has been disbursed. The counties have done the budget to factor in these health workers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the national Government is building about 181 markets. Out of all those, 72 have already been advertised for tendering. It is sad to note that in Kiambu County, there is one such market called Githurai that is already completed. For almost one year, it has not been occupied. Reason being, the county Government is not able to allocate people. It is collecting money from mama mbogas for them to be allocated a stand within that market. I believe any county that loves its people, will always prioritise their people and give them places to uplift them economically. I am speaking here today talking about Kiambu County because I have everything about Kiambu County on my fingertips."
