    "content": "ring-fenced for local manufactures. That is to ensure that we get good quality products at an affordable price so that we are able to increase our stock availability. Equally, this month of October, we are launching Universal Health Coverage (UHC), and we will start from the 13th to the 20th. In two of those days, we are having an expo of local manufacturers who shall be showcasing the products that are manufactured locally, and that are available for use within the facilities in the country. On the question of the responsiveness of our counties, primary health care services are primarily a function of the counties and we have a shared responsibility in ensuring that we direct the policy, do the training and we do capacity building. So far, the relationship through the Council of Governors has been cordial and we are giving them training in terms of supply chain management. This is for them to be able to do timely ordering, to manage their stock levels to ensure they are stocked up on whatever is required at the facility level. On the training of Community Health Promoters (CHPs), they are trained in order for them to refer patients to facilities, not to treat. Like epilepsy cannot be treated by a CHP. Theirs is to refer. But equally, we have trained them to provide education to families and communities so that we reduce the stigma that people that suffer from this condition receive within the communities. I submit, Hon. Temporary Speaker and Hon. Members."
