    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I urge the House to look keenly at those contracts. If you go to the Ministry of Health, you will find that governors started consultancies on these things last year. It is, therefore, upon us, as the Senate, to look at Sen. (Dr.) Machage’s wish in his Motion, and support it; to have the equipment which we shall monitor. A sum of Kshs1 billion has been set aside for monitoring purposes. We should monitor whether the equipment has come, what was required and if the specifications are right. That will help. It will also help the Ministry of Health to move on and look at other issues that affect us. It will ensure that the personnel are taken care of. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as we support this Bill, I know there has been issues with the equipment. However, the equipment will transform hospitals in the counties. For us women, we are the ones who go to hospitals everyday with our children. We know how we suffer. We know the challenges we face when we lie somewhere on the floor of a hospital waiting for dialysis. We know very well because we have our parents who come from home to KNH and line up because there is only one machine that caters for all patients. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we know that the NYS is in the counties and projects will be for counties. We should support the two issues because they were brought up and supported in this House. I hope that we can question and consult with the Cabinet Secretary. Let us support these programmes so that we see to it that the Motions we have passed in this House start transforming the lives of people in our country. As I support this Bill, I pray hard for Migori County. The best we can start with is just the basic; a latrine and cholera will come down. That is the basic thing to do and it is important. As we look for better machines, there are other things we need to ensure that we have which are basic for our own health. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support and thank you for bringing the amendment in the House."
