    "content": "It is important as a House to rise above board. I know the governors who are watching us are saying we want to kill devolution. I want to tell them they are the ones who are killing devolution. We gave them money to deal with health issues in their counties and instead of doing that, they went to a bazaar to buy cars. They also organized for international trips and all manner of other things which are not helping, forgetting the Kshs.69 billion, out of Kshs.210 came from this Ministry. Hon. Speaker, we beg this country to be above board and to make sure that we get devolution of health services done in the correct manner so that we do not see any more strikes by health workers. Lastly, if you ask the Committee on Health the number of doctors who have resigned and gone to look for greener pastures in different parts of Africa and Europe, they are so many. These doctors are trained using taxpayers’ money and we give them internship and pay them locally here and immediately after that, we do not give them any good working environment. In other words, we are training doctors and sending them away. This is because of one simple reason of devolution which was done in a manner to suggest that we cannot follow our Constitution. I support this Report. I wish the Committee on Implementation would pick it immediately and give recommendations to the President of this country so as to save this country from crisis of health care. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
