    "content": "include budgeting, financial management, and provision of medical supplies and emergency medicine. All dispensaries, and levels four and five hospitals across the nation are under the management of the county governments. However, more than 80 per cent of the county governments have seriously failed Kenyans as far as management of the health sector is concerned. This House must call upon all the county governments to take health matters more seriously, failure to which we will institute a constitutional change which will ensure that health is not devolved, even if it takes a referendum. Kenyans are suffering in the hands of the county governments across the country. It is true that there are four or so county governments which have appropriately managed the health sector. The rest are pathetic. If you go to Kenyatta National Hospital, which is a Level 6 referral hospital, some of these challenges are not there. This means that the national Government is able to take care of the health sector and Level 6 hospitals in the most appropriate way. But we have observed many problems in our Level 4 and 5 hospitals, as well as dispensaries. It is upon the county governments to ensure they take their responsibilities seriously, a responsibility mandated by the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya. Hon. Speaker, I thank you."
