    "content": "For the Level 5 funding, we have the Nyeri Level 5 Hospital, Provincial General Hospital. We are happy that the funding is sufficient; the Kshs4.2 billion for the 11 Level 5 hospitals. But, a question has remained why these monies cannot be sent directly to the hospitals. Sending funds relating to hospitals to county governments accounts does not help anybody. It does not help the hospitals and the county. In my county of Nyeri, we have passed a law that requires every hospital to create a board and the office of the CEO where the hospital can receive the money directly and use it for purposes of improving lives and health care in that particular Level 5 hospital. There is a small matter in terms of the laws that we need to change and we in the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, myself leading that process, will be looking at the change of law so that money that belongs to a hospital, goes to a hospital. An allocation that is meant for a Level 5 hospital should go directly there. There is no reason why the money first goes to the county government accounts where the governor starts to make decisions on when to send it to the hospitals and when that money is going to be available at the hospital level."
