    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with the new Constitution, as the House has observed and, indeed, as hon. Members have demanded, every county will need a proper referral facility. That means that we need proper referral facilities in 47 counties. At the moment, we have about 285 district hospitals nationally. Of those 285, at least, 47 must be developed as referral facilities in those counties. Today, I can only mention about a dozen or so district hospitals that can serve as referral facilities. There is Kisii Level 5, Kericho, Meru, Kitale, Bungoma, Thika, Kiambu and about five others. Those are the only ones that can serve as referral facilities at the county level. Otherwise, we have a job of developing the other about 30 district hospitals to serve as referral facilities at the county level. That is one of the reasons we have done a study and baseline survey to come up with that figure of Kshs85 billion, so that we can equip those facilities properly."
