    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support this Facilities Improvement Financing Bill which most counties have implemented, including my county. I think this is a very important Bill because it is bringing uniformity to all 47 counties. We have a history of what counties have been doing with the department of health. When devolution came in, we experienced a lot of problems because we had a lot of delays in the procurement of services in the department of health, delays in supplies, and more so, payment of overtime and sitting allowances to the staff who were working in the Ministry of Health. This Bill in Clause 8 will bring the use of these funds and help to guide and to provide a mechanism on issues of procurement. Therefore, Clause 8 needs to be very clear on areas where procurement of goods and services needs to be done. It is not very clear. The other thing that I want to highlight in the Bill is on Clauses 16 and 18. Clause 16 provides for the constitution of the hospital management team and Clause 18 provides for the constitution of the health facility management committee. As you can see very well, most of my colleagues have contributed in support of the hospital management team. I strongly support it because it will bring the public into that committee so that it can be in the management."
