    "content": "Last year towards the end of December, Sen. Sifuna convened a meeting of 1,000 CHPs from Nairobi City County, where we got very shocking feedback. That was part of the Nairobi City County delegation oversight programme. The shocking feedback is that CHPs are operating without phones that have the latest technology. They are doing registration of the people on the ground to SHA using very poor equipment, if the phones they are using is anything to go by. The mood of the country right now is to embrace universal healthcare. That should be reflected by how we facilitate and empower our CHPs. We cherish the work they are doing, which is bridging the gap between the people and health facilities or institutions and healthcare providers. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I urge Members of the Committee on Health, as they investigate what Sifuna has presented, to come up with proposals that are going to empower this key component of universal healthcare. We have 107,000 CHPs in the country and 7,800 in Nairobi doing a key role in the health sector. They should make proposals of how we can empower them, so that this key role is effectively done. I thank you."
