    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I do not want to believe that the health function is devolved. If we are giving the State Department for Medical Services Ksh102 billion and State Department for Public Health and Professional Standards Ksh28 billion, which is a total of Ksh130 billion, how are we, as a country, still claiming that health function is devolved? Why is this money being kept in Nairobi, when we know that the health function is devolved? A sum of Ksh30 billion is enough to run the State Department for Medical Services. If this is money for the big men and women in Nairobi, then let us just agree that Parliament is passing this money for them. Otherwise, why should we keep Ksh130 billion in Nairobi, when the health function is fully devolved in the Constitution. That is why doctors, medical officers and clinical personnel are striking because we are re-directing their money to something else. Let us reduce this budget to Ksh20 billion or Ksh30 billion and devolve the money to the counties. People who need medical services are in the counties and not in Nairobi. Why do you want Afya House to have Ksh130 billion, when counties like Kiambu and Murang'a are only getting Ksh2 billion for health services?"
