    "content": "With regard to the health sector, I am aware that a report is likely to be tabled by the Health Committee fairly soon. I had a chat with the Chairman of the Health Committee earlier on, hon. Dr. Rachael Nyamai. I know that the Health Committee, like the rest of us, is aware that the main challenge facing the devolution of health services is the blanket transfer of functions to counties with complete disregard to the three years transition period provided for in the Constitution. We cannot wait for that report to come here. That is because when that report comes here from the Committee, we will be able to deal with all the frustrations that we have with regard to health services. Indeed, only this afternoon I met with the Acting Governor of my county; Embu County and one of the issues that we were talking about were the doctors who have had to go and others who have had to be replaced. It is a real problem. So, we hear what the House has said with regard to the health sector. Also with regard to corruption, I want to assure this House that we will be giving more money to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, the Office of the Auditor- General, Controller of Budget, DPP and, indeed, the Judiciary itself. So, those are just some of the concerns that have been raised. Many have been spoken to, but let me just mention one or two things before I make a concluding statement."
