    "content": "I would like to thank the national Government for providing the equipment to Level Four and Level Five county hospitals. The county governments should recruit and employ nurses in each dispensary and health centers. This is because most of the facilities that were built during the time I was serving as a Member for my constituency are underutilized. The county governments should employ and retain enough staff in our dispensaries, health centers and hospitals. Mr. Deputy, Speaker, Sir, I thank the county governments because they have done some good job. However, most of the contractors have not been paid. I do not see the reason why because we always allocate them money yet they do not pay the contractors. Lastly, I would like the Senate to give Senators the facilities to oversight. I know we have done our part and Sen. Murungi’s Committee has done its part. Therefore, we must start the oversight role from this month. The money is available and the Chair should give us the direction on how to go about it. Once we start the oversight, I will urge the Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) to participate in this oversight role. They are supposed to do that at the county level. We may not always be there but they should assist us so that the money sent to the governors is utilised in the right manner. Thank you."
