    "content": "I want to thank Baba because he pleaded that we give the county governments Ksh450 billion. We have gone beyond that, including the Equalisation Fund. For the first time, the Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Mbadi, will ensure that we get the Equalisation Fund. However, the question is: How are we going to use these resources? It is very unfortunate that a governor decides to have as many advisors as he wants, and this money turns into foreign trips. That is why we are facing challenges. The country’s growth is below expectations because the money sent for growth, to build markets and support micro-entrepreneurs and SMEs is gone .The governor will then decide what he wants to pay or not to pay. Hon. Speaker, look at Kenyans suffering from diabetes. In this country, insulin injections cost Ksh750 per day. I want to call on the governors: we need to reduce these prices. Our people are dying. The health sector is in their hands. You should stop looking for bursaries. You must focus on managing and helping the people so that we can save lives in this country. I wish they could concentrate 100 per cent on health, and we focus 100 per cent on education. We would have transformed our country. Lastly, Hon. Martha Wangari, Hon. Lesuuda and I were all in the first Senate."
