    "content": "I want to point out that the national Government has already taken up part of this and has come up with two health centres in every county which will be upgraded. However, our Constitution says that the health sector is devolved to the county governments. Unfortunately two years down the road, after the county governments were formed, we are still having problems of management of health by our counties. Our county governments are failing this country. I want to give the example of Machakos County where we have dispensaries. In my constituency, we have dispensaries in every sub- location but half of the dispensaries are not equipped. They do not have medical personnel and even medicine. Instead of equipping those dispensaries so that we can have quick response to the problems or our people who have been injured, Machakos County Government purchased some vans, branded them ambulances and put sirens on them. These ambulances have no equipment or medical personnel. So, they are being driven by a driver and a turn boy. Unless we do something drastic about the health sector within our counties, it will take us a long time."
