Page 38 shows allocations per county. A new column entitled “Population as at 2015” has been introduced. That means that the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) has the current data of every county and it is shown here. Baringo has 668,534 and West Pokot has 615,829. However, the data we are using for calculation of funds is very old because it is based on the Population Census of 2009. I would like us to use the same new column referred to as “Abolishment of user fees in health centres and dispensaries” which was used for allocation of medicine. Further, we are saying that Nairobi has 3.99 million people and hence it has been allocated Kshs79 million. West Pokot has 615,829 people and it has been allocated Kshs12 million. Healthwise, we need to dig deeper. How many people among the 3.99 million of Nairobi pay for themselves? We should not waste money. Up to 40 or 50 per cent of people of Nairobi are able and their economic power is high and they go to private hospitals like The Nairobi Hospital. We should focus on the people of Kibera, Mathare and Huruma. Those are the ones that are equivalent to where I come from. So, when we talk about distribution of resources with 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."
