    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, the problem is not how we do things but why we refuse to realise that in the implementation of all this, the national Government gets its ego with the money and the county government does the same. At that time, they forget that we are dealing with human beings and it becomes a conflict of resources between the two. My Senator and the Chairperson of the Committee on Health are both in the Committee of Finance, Commerce and Budget. They know very well that when it comes to allocation of funds, you will see how governors will forget that we are dealing with health and will be looking at the resources that cut across. When I look at the establishment as a person, this was to establish the Kenya Health Human Resource Advisory Council (KHHRAC). If we feel that it is anchored so much at the national Government whilst health is devolved, then I thought that there would be a way of coming up with the same but for the counties. However, in a way, they should also have an advisory different from that of the national Government. If we feel that the Council is so anchored at the national Government, let us create it but anchor it more in the counties, so that we have equal health services. Whether I am in Bungoma or Kakamega, I should get the same health services so that we remain the same. If we have a patient, we come to the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). If the patient goes back to Kakamega Level 5 Hospital, she can still get the same health services."
