    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to make a quick comment on the Statements by the Nairobi Senator, Sen. Sifuna, on the CHPs. I think that this is a very serious Statement. I request the Committee that is going to deal with this Statement to take it very seriously. The CHPs are doing a very good job in our villages. These are people in our villages who know almost every homestead in a particular village. They know the concerns of the people on matters of health. However, these people despite their commitment, are getting frustrated by various counties in this country. I agree with Sen. Sifuna that these people need to be equipped with smartphones. These people need to be adequately equipped even with protective gear and many other facilities that they need to undertake their work. However, in most counties, Mr. Speaker, the CHPs are struggling. This arrangement of a 50/50 per cent share of the stipend between the National Government the 70 per cent counterpart share of the stipend between and the central Government and county governments seems not to be working because of long delays before they receive their money. I think it is high time that the programme is reviewed, so that we have one particular person to blame for the delay. When you ask why these people have not been paid, counties say that the national Government has not sent their share. When you ask the national Government, they say the county government has not processed their share. So, we have a blame game here.
