    "content": "Therefore, for that reason, I want to see my county, not giving excuses because they have already been given Kshs50 million, and they have the liberty to allocate the other money which is not a conditional grant; the part of the equitable revenue they receive for the same maternity care services. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on conditional leasing medical equipment, there has been debate that some counties have received the medical equipment while others have not. Now that Kshs95 million has been set aside for Elgeyo-Marakwet County to receive medical equipment, there is no reason why Chebyemit Hospital should not have resources and why Iten County Referral Hospital should not have resources. I was asked this question over the weekend at a place called Kaptiony in Cherangany-Chebororwo Ward; they asked why they do not have Intensive Care Unit (ICU) services in Iten County Referral Hospital or in Chebyemit. Now, there will be no excuse from Elgeyo-Marakwet County and we will ensure that that is done. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, look at grants for roads and maintenance fuel levy; Kshs54 million has been given to my county. This amount of money can do wonders in Elgeyo- Marakwet County because it is able to open roads. The other day, I accompanied the President when he went to launch huge machinery for Uasin Gishu County. I saw Gov. Jackson Mandago; when they had problems with drainage and roads being impassable, he did not ask the question whether the roads fall under the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), Kenya Rural Urban Authority (KURA) or Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) roads. He mobilized that equipment, went and opened the roads – some of us who were travelling by road through Uasin Gishu were assisted otherwise, we would have been blocked on the way. In some counties, there is a debate. Governors are folding their hands and saying; that is a KeNHA, KERRA, or KURA road. We must allow service to be delivered to the people and we The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
