    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me a chance to speak on this session of Parliament in 2013. I want to wish you well and polesana for the loss of your councillor. I also want to comment Dr. Monda for bringing to the House this important Bill to become law. I can see that hon. Members are out to support it without any exception. It is good for us to note that there before, drugs and pharmaceutical items used to be transported from the central medical stores. Kenyans used to suffer because they did not know how to access the central stores. When the KEMSA was formed all of us thought that the issue of Kenyans suffering was going to be a thing of the past. This has not come to be because it operates from Nairobi and we do not know what structures are on the ground. I am unable to know how to ensure that when we put up a new health facility we get the medical staff and drugs. There are no intermediate structures. This has led to a lot of demoralization because drugs do not flow. This is against the backdrop of very many medical needs. I want to support this desire to anchor this particular agency in law so that persons would become viable, responsible and accountable to the people of Kenya when they go wrong. I want to hope that the same agency once instituted, would become an advisory arm of what we now know are amorphous District Medical Health Management Board and Project Management Committees. If they could get professional advice then things would be better. I also hope that this would go towards ensuring cost effectiveness in the procurement process. I wish to support this particular Bill and thank the Mover for bringing it to the House."
