    "content": "I would like to point out that there are some areas that are within the budget of health that the Departmental Committee on Health worked towards and it is important that I raise this matter to the House and showcase some of the very important areas that have not been funded. We have a very serious equipment project which my Committee supports. However, if we look at the institutions that support the equipment project, we will realise that funding is very low or even unavailable. The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) has been allocated Kshs133 million to operate on. This is something that we need to be aware as a House. As a Committee, we have been emphasising on the support of the semi-autonomous institutions that are under the Ministry of Health. This is one of the areas that I think there could be a push and pull between the Executive and the Legislature because we would like to see funding towards semi-autonomous institutions bearing in mind that health has been devolved. From the budget, we see that Kshs34 billion is remaining at the Ministry and yet very little money is going to institutions like Kenyatta National Hospital, Kenya Medical Training College, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, the Spinal Injury Centre and the Blood Transfusion Centre."
