    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, concerns have been raised about the lack of adequate supplies to healthcare facilities and stalled healthcare-related projects in Kisumu County, with some experiencing inordinate delays, which has a ripple effect on the provision of healthcare in Kisumu County. In order to encourage the prudent use of county resources, the County Executive must be held to account in its implementation of projects. It is in this regard that I am seeking this Statement. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Examine the state of health facilities in Kisumu County and submit a report on the completion status of all health-related projects for the financial years 2017-2024, disclosing the budget expended on each project so far and the budget for completion and equipping of projects in Nyando, Muhoroni, Nyakach, Kisumu East, Kisumu West, Kisumu Central and Seme sub-counties. (2) State the safety measures in place for the health workers in the said sub-county health facilities, disclosing whether there is protective gear for workers serving in health hazard units and the ratio of protective gear to the workers assigned to the units. (3) Provide details on the Marwa Insurance Scheme, including its coverage areas, current enrolment figures and the beneficiary demographics and inform on its funding sources and the financial propriety and assess its sustainability and effectiveness, considering the national transition to the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF). Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
