    "content": "standards of a county referral hospital. I do not know if that money can be increased, so that we can have some Level 5 Hospitals in every constituency in Turkana County. We have only one and now that we have six constituencies in Turkana County, I do not know whether this Kshs5 million will be enough for all of us. On the issue of improving delivery of service in those Level 5 Hospitals, we want to encourage the Government to come up with a way to motivate our doctors. We have seen a trend in counties where many doctors have resigned. Even if we are going to allocate this money to Level 5 Hospitals, we may not have doctors in those hospitals. So, I want to encourage the Government to see how it can motivate the doctors to go back to the hospitals, even if it will mean to return the health sector back to the national Government. That will be better. Finally, I would like to touch on the issue of centres of excellence and the money that has been allocated. There are some constituencies that do not have centres of excellence. That is because the money that was allocated--- Those who were there did not utilize it very well. Some constituencies have incomplete projects and even the Kshs5 million that we are allocating to them cannot complete them. I, therefore, ask the Budget and Appropriations Committee to increase that amount to Kshs10 million per constituency to complete those incomplete structures. I beg to support."
