    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I will begin with the matter of distribution. We said that the exercise began in August and is ongoing until the middle of October. The aim is to distribute drugs all over the country. As hon. Members are aware, Kshs64 billion of the Kshs97 billion of the Budget allocation to the health sector was devolved to the counties. This included money for purchase of non-pharmaceuticals and medicines. Therefore, that function has already been devolved. What the Ministry did was to look for funds to be able to take care of the counties between now and when the counties become functional. That is the distribution that is ongoing. Kenya Medical Supplies Agency had already procured drugs worth Kshs12. Billion. The distribution exercise began in August and will continue until the middle of October. The stocks being distributed will last up to December. We expect the counties to have put in place mechanisms that will enable them to procure their own supplies by then."
