    "content": "matters. We should be consulted to know the hospitals to benefit from the equipment which is being supplied to counties because we are also part and parcel of the administration of the county. Therefore, as much as we support this Bill, it should be noted that the Senate has a big role to play in making relevant decisions on what happens in those hospital’s administration and equipment and where they are going to be posted. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in a county like Kirinyaga County, one person decides everything that happens including recruitment, equipment, location and construction of the Level 6 hospitals. It is therefore important to note that there should have been consultation with the Senate before construction started so that we also give our opinion on how to go about things. Eventually, it is not the governor who will be running the county. It is the citizens of that county. That is why it is critical to involve all the elected leaders when it comes to deciding which area should benefit from development, unlike what has been happening with development projects in hospitals. We should endeavor to have a medical research station in every county so that they are distributed evenly. All the centres should not be concentrated in one area; Nairobi and the periphery areas of Nairobi like Thika. The Senators should have a voice in the decision of where to locate the development of some of these facilities because we matter."
