    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, mine is a clarification. A lot has been said. One is that currently, SHA is only paying for the services of bed if one is admitted, and surgeries. However, if one goes to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), they have not started paying, as well as medication. If somebody goes for surgery, definitely he or she has to be given medication. The same is not being paid for. This is the same question that my colleague was asking the other time. So, when will ICU and medication payment by SHA start? Last time, we were told that it will start around April this year. Is it still on course or have you done away with it? Secondly, there is this group called Community Health Promoters (CHPs), which is a very important unit of the medical services. However, they are poorly remunerated. They have no salaries and are only given allowances. They are poorly paid. They only get kshs5,000 allowances. Areas like Wajir, Mandera and Garissa are so vast. Is there any other plan because there is no way of even reaching out to people? These people cannot be walking from place to place. It is not like Kiambu or Nairobi counties where you can use matatus . What plans are there for community health promoters to be facilitated, especially in terms of transportation as well as looking into their welfare? The Kshs5,000 allowances that they are paid, delays for three to four months. Thank you."
