    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, in line with this, when the Motion proposes to establish a public health complaints board, you will have all the complaints immediately. But I do not think that even this one needs a law because already the governors have appointed executive officers in charge of health in every county. That officer, who is also a medical professional, can chair this. But the tangible issue that needs to be addressed is whether the money that we have been talking about can go to the counties, so that the right equipment is put in the dispensaries and health centres. How many medical training colleges do we have in Kenya? We may have a few which are scattered. In the North Rift, we have one in Eldoret. There is a small one in Lodwar but none in Kitale. I think that the Senate should propose that we have a medical training college in every county, so that we can train the relevant professionals that are required to deal with this problem that we have sung about for years. It has become part and parcel of Kenya. Anybody who wants to win elections promises to deal with health issues. In recognizing that there is this need, we need to address this problem seriously."
