"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important to note that some of the governors are trying to ride on very dangerous roads and this is one of them in the name of Governor Munya. He happens to be the Governor of Meru County which is among the Mt. Kenya region counties. Therefore, if something happens in Meru, it affects the entire region. When it comes to hospitals and health facilities, it is not to be used by one county only. It is a facility to be enjoyed by people living along the road leading to Isiolo and people living in Mt. Kenya region and other far flung areas. Therefore, if one person solely decides that it will not happen on behalf of about one or two million people, then there is something wrong. I sympathize with my friend, Sen. Murungi and other counties which have the same problems but are suffering silently. We need to probe and find out whether the same thing is happening in other counties so that the counties suffering like Meru County can be assisted. The governor has no right to deny them the privilege to enjoy those machines. Kirinyaga County, for instance, was given two machines but the governor decided to give one to a hospital near his home instead of considering a hospital called Kimbimbi which is along a very busy road. He instead gave it to Kianyaga where he comes from. We need to decide whether the governors should be left alone to decide what happens in the counties without considering public opinion. Our people are suffering at the expense of the governors. Therefore, something should be done urgently."
