    "content": "These machines have been acquired; the infrastructure is underway right now in terms of fulfilling that MoU. Both the County Government and the Kisii University have developed a curriculum appropriate for the environment in the county. We expect that this arrangement will attract top medical personnel; medical professionals, consultants and other specialists to Kisii so that they could offer teaching, they can offer higher quality treatment and carry out research with particular reference to diseases prevalent in those counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the benefits of such an arrangement would be obvious, that the patients will not have to travel to Kenyatta National Hospital or the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret for medical attention. Through that arrangement, we would be helping to decongest these two institutions which receive very large numbers of patients. The universities position in the counties could also develop capacity building programmes to help in training or improving the human capacity available within the counties. They could enter into joint ventures such as the one they have entered between the County Government of Kisii and the Kisii University for a joint venture to build a recycling plant for disposal of waste materials. These are some of the areas in which county governments could collaborate with universities located in their own counties. I believe that this Bill is seeking to enhance this kind of collaboration through a structured manner. For that reason, I want to support this Bill and I believe it will go some way in providing benefits to local communities through collaboration with county governments."
