    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me first clarify that in the previous government, the Governor of Kakamega, Gov. Oparanya had written to the Ministry and requested the national Government to take over the facility. Therefore, at that point, the national Government would have been 100 per cent responsible for completion and ensuring that the facility operates as a Level 6. However, when we came into office, I followed up that letter with the current Governor of Kakamega Gov. Barasa. I have been to Kakamega on two occasions. He indicated to me that they were not going to handover the facility to the national Government for it to be a Level 6 facility. However, they were going to operate it as a Level 5 facility. Mr. Speaker, Sir and hon. Members, based on that, then the role of the national Government is to assist the county government to ensure that they complete the facility and run it as a Level 5. Nonetheless, having listened to the hon. Senator and visited the project on two occasions, it is huge. I will put together a multidisciplinary team from the Ministry. I will also seek the Senator's support, we go and highlight the issues to the hon. Governor and paint the bigger picture, of not just the completion, but equally running of the facility. Hopefully, we will get to an amicable solution on how we assist the counties. However, as it is, its responsibility lies squarely with the County Government of Kakamega. I submit."
