    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think when it comes to the issues of whether this Motion also affects counties, as a general surgeon and a former medical superintendent of a hospital, I think I am an authority to tell you whether district hospitals, which we intend to become country referral hospitals, are able to perform this duty. As it stands now, they are not under the counties because the Motion to devolve health is not yet on the Floor of the House. What is happening is that we expect a comprehensive Motion to discuss how well we can devolve health. When you look at the Budget Bill that came before the House, there was an item where they referred to the provincial hospitals and the referrals hospitals. Then you ask yourself: Where does the Spinal Unit fall? Where does Mathari Mental Hospital fall? Where are the high level volume hospitals like the Kisii Hospital, Kitale District Hospital, Kericho and all those ones? Where do they fall? Those are high volume hospitals. So, I think when it comes to health, we might have to discuss and see how we can be able to devolve it."
