"content": "they have their own Secretaries for Health? What business does the Ministry of Health have in recruiting nurses for counties when governors are there? They have their own secretaries for health who can recruit nurses to work in their respective counties. As we debate this Motion, we must know that health services should also be devolved. The central Government should partner with county governments and equip the existing dispensaries, health centres and district hospitals with sufficient staff who know what they are doing. We want the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board (MPDB) to rein in errant doctors who do not follow ethics and treat people as human beings, so that we have the best as we develop levels four, five and national hospitals. We should have the right staff and the facilities so that we uplift health standards of our people. Madam Temporary Speaker, the case that Sen. Wetangula referred to, with regard to Baringo, is one that I wondered whether the Government knew about it. Did the Government know that such a case existed, or do we have to wait until television stations go to look for problems so that we become aware of them? Did the Government know that there are people who only see at night and others who only see during day time? They, probably, do not know. I am not talking about this Government. In the past 50 years, we have not addressed very many issues which we should have. I believe that one of the issues that devolution and the Senate was created to do was to point out these issues. It was not to lay blame on anyone, but to show that we can do better than we have done. I beg to support."
