    "content": "What is emerging here is a can of worms. I think the Committee on Health is bound to open a wardrobe of skeletons if we are committed to deal with this matter. As agreed with the Standing Committee on Health, requisitions are made by the health facilities in counties. The executives of the counties make the requisitions. However, the goods procured are totally different from what the health practitioners at the grassroots levels requested. Again, once those requisitions are changed, what they receive is totally different from what the executive requested from KEMSA. In Bungoma, I visited a facility in Kamukuywa, Webuye East Division, Kabuchai in Kimalewa, Khasoko in Bumula and one in Kanduyi Constituency in an area called Mwikhupo. What I saw in the warehouses was shocking and perturbing. You can imagine facilities not having received medical supplies for over 10 months. When you ask, people fidget around and want to talk as if they are strangers in Jerusalem. It is prudent for this Committee, that the CECs for Health should furnish us with the details of the requisitions from the health facilities at the grassroots level and what they requested from KEMSA. The KEMSA must also furnish us what they supplied to the counties and exactly what was sent to the specific health facilities at the grassroots level. This is why when these medicines are being received, you see trucks with a big flag, people in ties and lab coats, but only one or two boxes are opened. When you check in there, you will realise, over half of those trucks have nothing else but empty boxes. More so, people are made to celebrate and clap."
