    "content": "leaving. The nurses are not there and even the simple cleaners sometimes are difficult to get. So, what I am supporting is that devolution is a good thing but when programmes or facilities do not have the kind of services that we have never had for a long time, then that is what needs to be devolved. So, we devolve the staff, services and everything that matters. It does not matter whether it is Level 2, 3 or 4, what matters is that the health centre must have what it takes to be a health centre. The health centres must have staff, medicine and various facilities so that they can give comprehensive health care. So, what is coming out is that we have only two national hospitals which are of Level 6. Level 6 should be brought down to the grassroots. We do not need to travel to Nairobi to go to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). I want to see at some point that Siaya Hospital looks like KNH. That is what is being devolved. That is what we never had. So, we are getting it because of devolution. We must see the benefits of devolution. We must bring services that we never had at the grassroots and county level and that means also you devolve many other things that go with what it means to have good hospitals or health centres that can provide comprehensive health services. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is all I have otherwise, thank you very much. I support the Report."
