    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I stand to support the amendment to that particular Bill. When I do so, again, it is from a point of information and knowledge. That is because when we go back to our areas of representation, we must all agree that the level of service delivery at the local level is not up to scratch. I have an experience where, through CDF, we have built a maternity wing in a particular health centre. In spite of CDF spending so much money to put up such infrastructure, no personnel has been assigned duty to that particular place and, hence, such infrastructure is going to waste. I do not know whether the county government has the capacity to employ personnel to man such health facilities and if they do, they may not be addressing the situation. That is because you will find that in such a facility, the delivery of children may only be done during the day. One wonders when you have such an outpost so far away from the main hospital, what happens to all those patients who need services at night. If such a thing is not addressed, certainly, it shows there is a shortcoming in terms of capacity of county governments to man health services. In my area, we have put up several dispensaries using CDF money. But we still see that disconnect there. There is no staff that has been deployed there and so, when you go to the Level 4 Nanyuki Referral Hospital, the level of service delivery has definitely gone down. There are so many areas that are not being addressed. It is evident that county The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
