    "content": "country have no medicine. The fact is that a country with no healthy people is going down. We are going back to the dark days where medicine could not reach hospitals. Now that healthcare is devolved, we do not see why medicine is not in hospitals. This is the question that most of us should ask, even if it means the national Government sitting down with the county governments to find out why medicine is not in hospitals. Why do we say the national Government is not helping county governments while the national Government blames the county governments for not doing their part? I am worried as an old man because the basic thing in a hospital is medicine. Let medicine be in hospitals so that patients can get them. We must look at why we do not have medicines in hospitals. Is it because we do not have money or is it because we do not have the manpower? Let us look at that. While I support this Motion because we need to have ICUs, let us also manage what we have. We have certain equipment in most of our hospitals. You will find that hospitals are being run down in the counties. Let us manage what we have before we talk about having more ICUs. As Members of Parliament, we should whip the national Government and the county governments to sit down and solve this problem. We have many doctors and we cannot allow our hospitals to be run down. I am very thankful to the Mover for this Motion. However, let us look at the problem we have in the hospitals at the moment. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance."
