"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, they have referred here to poverty as one of the major problems facing our people. I came from Maralal two weeks ago, and I was told they have never seen medicine in Samburu District Hospital since the beginning of this year. We must fast track the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEPSA) Bill so that KEMSA will be having all the medicines required by the counties and every three months, they will have to publish which counties have bought medicine from them. Our people are poor; they cannot manage these health facilities. Up to now, a county like Turkana – whose budget we were discussing the other day – where do you think they are going to get their medicine from? Their budget has not been passed; the people of Turkana continue suffering yet they know they have oil and water. So, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is an urgent request that I would like to make to the Committee; that they should fast track that KEMSA Bill and even visit counties like Turkana and Makueni. I do not even know if they have any medicine in Makueni."
