    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health regarding the distribution of drugs by the Kenya Medical Suppliers Authority, (KEMSA), to county public health facilities. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Table a list of all the drugs manufacturers licenced by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board and drugs procured by KEMSA for resale to county governments. (2) Explain how KEMSA tracked drugs from manufacturers to KEMSA warehouses and onwards to county public health facilities, outlining measures put in place to ensure last-mile distribution of the drug to all county public health facilities. (3) Provide details on the enterprise resource planning software currently in use at KEMSA, disclosing its vendors. (4) Explain how drugs supplied to KEMSA on credit by suppliers are guaranteed and how for instances of failure by county government to pay on time are addressed. (5) Provide information on how KEMSA plans to address the outstanding pending bills without disrupting drug supplies, stating whether KEMSA can consider maintaining ownership of drug inventories with the suppliers until they are sold to county government to help address pending bills and ensure that the authority is never left with unsold stocks of drugs. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
