    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. From the outset, I would like to support the amendments brought by hon. Mule. The matter of transfer of functions from one level of the Government another falls under Article 187 of the Constitution. My position is that the President needs to move very fast and establish a taskforce to go round the country to find out the ills that affect our health services. Once the taskforce gives its report to the Summit, that is the President and the governors, it will be able to know what health services and hospitals to transfer back to the national Government. Hon. Speaker, I am speaking with authority. The Embu County Government got about Kshs330 million for Level 5 hospitals as a conditional grant. However, the money was not all utilised on Level 5 hospital services. So, the governors have in unison turned the money they get for health services into “milk from a cow”. It is only the County of Mandera which is very keen on improving the health services of its people. Therefore, I support the amendment, so that we do not have all the health services in the country managed by the governors. Thank you."
