    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, let me, first of all, begin by thanking the Chairman of the Committee for bringing this amendment. I think that he did it in very good spirit, and I am sure that he means very well. I want to plead with my colleagues and refer them to Article 187 (2) (a) and (b) of the Constitution. If we pass this amendment that has been proposed by the Chairman for the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, Sen. Billow Kerrow, we will be setting these hospitals and counties to fail, for sure. This is because clearly, the monies that we are approving cannot sustain these hospitals at all, yet this provision of the Constitution says that resources, of course, will follow functions. So, my suggestion to the Senators – and maybe we can look at it critically – is that let us not make this provision of Kshs1.8 billion, because anything bellow Kshs10 billion will not be able to run these hospitals and they will fail. So, if we do not vote anything at all based on Article 187 (2), then it means that the function of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
