    "content": "The other thing I need to point out is the issue of the village polytechnics where we think the money which is being allocated, should be distributed equally until we have all the village polytechnics getting to a certain level in terms of infrastructure and equipment. From there onwards, it can be looked at from the point of which ones should be expanded to be bigger than others depending on the population. The other thing that I need to point out is the leasing of medical equipment. Kenya is a signatory to maternal and child health issues at the United Nations (UN) level besides providing good health. Since Kenya is a signatory to the UN with regard to child health, the Government needed to make sure that most of the hospitals are equipped. From devolution, it is difficult for leasing to be done for the 47 counties. So it had to be done centrally and then the equipment distributed to all the other areas. When people understand it from that perspective, it is easier for them to appreciate what this is doing. Counties have appreciated that these equipment coming to them have employed enough personnel to utilise them. Their people are getting better health care because of this initiative by the national Government."
