    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will start by helping my colleague on the point that he was raising regarding the letter that came from the governor vis-à-vis the aspect or Level 5 Hospitals. It is very important for this point to be understood by the entire House and, indeed, the country. If you look at Kakamega, Kisumu and Nyeri general hospitals, you will find that people come as far as Uganda to visit the Kisumu General Hospital. Some people come from as far as Marsabit to visit the Nyeri General Hospital. What the governors have accepted and brought to us from the retreat in Naivasha is to ask the Senate to assist. The letter that they wrote to us reads in part; “could the Senate assist us in ensuring that Level 5 Hospitals are funded separately out of the monies allocated to the counties?” Indeed, the support is, conditional on the acceptance that yes, they will have the Kshs226 billion. However, in addition to that, they are hoping that the Senate Majority Leader will move an amendment on the Floor of this House so that Level 5 Hospitals are taken care of. I want, from the outset, to commend Kenyans."
