    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, again, a very quick one because the Minister is very co-operative. On page 308, Head 340, Kenya Medical Training Centre, there is Item 2210700, Training Expenses. Although there was no provision for this last year, there is a provision this year; of Kshs49 million. My concern, and I would like to raise it on behalf of my constituents who have many complaints, is that there is some sort of discrimination when it comes to recruitment of trainees. I want the Minister to specifically comment on this matter as we approve this Vote. She should assure us that she will consider restructuring this institution; Kenya Medical Training Centre (KMTC), because they also have made provision for all training centres to ensure that the recruitment is equitable so that every constituency, say, Shinyalu or Kisumu Town East or even Kitui Central, gets some sort of consideration the same way other areas of Kenya are considered. For example, there are instances where you cannot get somebody from Kisumu to work in Garissa because it is a difficult terrain, but if you got somebody from Garissa, he will be able to work there. Could the Minister, please, assure us that there will be some fairness? This is because there have been a lot of complaints on this matter."
