    "content": "The issue of Community Health Promoters (CHPs) is becoming a national nuisance. We cannot live in a country where people who have been contracted to offer a service must take to the streets for them to be paid for the services which they were hired and contracted. A solution to the CHPs must be found. We must not sit pretty in the Senate knowing, as it were, that health is a devolved function. I want to challenge the Senate Committee on Health, which is led by Senator Mandago. I know they have tried to do what they have tried to do, but I want to challenge them to draw the line in the sand. They should say enough is enough. We cannot have these demonstrations outside Parliament, in the streets of Nairobi, every day, every week, of people just demanding the same thing, which is their right. They have a right to be paid this money. Something must happen for us to get done with this matter. The next issue under the same First Schedule is on the County Aggregation and Industrial Parks (CAIPs). I do not know the reason or wisdom that was used to phase out the allocation of the national Government share to county governments to construct the industrial parks. I know of two phases: phase one and phase two. My county, Kitui, did not make to the list for the first phase. However, due to its desire to create jobs and push forward the manufacturing agenda in our county, the County Executive of Kitui approached the County Assembly of Kitui, which approved the share of the County Government of Kshs250 million for the construction of CAIP at a place called Kanyonyo in Kitui Rural Constituency."
