    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sometimes, perspective is very important so that we understand what we are dealing with in some of these discussions. I will give the House the example of monies we are discussing in this particular Bill. There are four main hospitals in Nairobi: Pumwani, Mutuini, Mama Lucy Kibaki and Mbagathi as the four main ones. For perspective, in the Financial Year 2020/2021, Mbagathi Hospital was the highest in terms of revenue raised and it was only Kshs60 million. This money we are talking about is not a lot especially if you juxtapose it with the need of some of those hospitals. It costs, for instance, an average of between Kshs7 million or Kshs8 million to just put up a descent Intensive Care Unit (ICU) ward or bed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas the spirit of the Bill might be good, the Mover of the Bill must engage with Senators on some of the concerns that have been raised, that, in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
