    "content": "Because the people there do not matter. We have people with ideas but they are not heard. Even the technocrats employed there are not allowed to work in these county governments. The Governors are now the procurement officers. If you have an idea, they call you and tell you: “You, we know you are making noise because your pockets are empty.” We must fight corruption. If this country must move from where it is to the next level, we must fight corruption and this House must figure out how not to give money. I want to propose to this House that we reconsider the Health Bill. I am not supporting the idea of taking back the health docket to the national Government. This is because we will only be delaying the inevitable because we will then have to change the Constitution. However, we must ring-fence monies. In our next budget cycle, we must ring-fence monies to go to the essential sectors. This is because if we do not, the Governors who will be going towards an election will not care. They will not care if people are dying in hospitals or if there are no roads. They will not care. Most of these Members like hon. Duale, hon Gumbo and hon. Linturi will tell you. We were here and we got less than Kshs10 million for our roads. People used to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
