    "content": "The allocation of Kshs4.5 billion that we talk about for management of equipment service is fine but as a Departmental Committee on Health we have asked the Ministry to account it for us. In the last financial year, we allocated Kshs3.4 billion. In the last financial year, we allocated Kshs4.7 billion. That is Kshs4.5 billion for leasing of equipment and Kshs200 million for training. How much of that money has been spent on the leasing of equipment? When Members talk about the various counties, it should be known that not all equipment is within those counties. There are counties that do not have equipment. Even when you talk about Machakos County, for example, as having an ICU, is it functional? It is not. The ICU at Machakos has been set up for the last eight months but it is not operational because the laboratory is not in place. Workers have been trained but the consumables are not there. Are we putting up facilities just for the sake of it or we are putting up facilities that can add value to Kenyans?"
