    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move- THAT, the Senate adopts the reports of the Select Committee on County Public Investments and Special Funds on the consideration of audit report for the Financial Year 2023/2024, for Busia County Health Services Fund, Kapsabet County Referral Hospital, Kisii County Teaching and Referral Hospital, Lamu County Referral Hospital and Nyamira County Referral Hospital, laid on the Table of the Senate on Thursday, 27th March, 2025 and approves the recommendation of the Committee on the financial statement of the respective county referral hospitals for the year Financial Year 2023/2024. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you may, allow me to quickly peruse through the issues. I am sure Members will have an opportunity to go through the detailed Reports, but in our examination of the financial statements that I have indicated, we found out the following key problems in our hospitals- We had issues with employment and contracts. Most of the hospitals rely on bloated casual staff, who have even stayed in those places for longer period of time, three years to even five years. We had issues of lack of automation. Particularly, the billing system in most of these hospitals was not working. 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."
