    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise in support of the Statement that has been brought to this House by Sen. Ledama Olekina seeking some answers to the question of how KEMSA is rolling out its programme and the provision of drugs that are being used in the counties. The time has now come. I encourage the Standing Committee on Health when they are working on this Statement to ensure that the system that is being run by KEMSA is open and accountable. The procurement process is something that can be explained to Kenya starting from the whole supply chain of drugs. From when KEMSA procures these drugs up to the time when they are taken to the counties and distributed to the health centres. It is unfortunate that when you go to the county, you will find many health centres do not have drugs. It becomes very embarrassing when you go down to those health centres in the villages and find that even simple medicine that could assist the citizens is not available. 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."
