    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I congratulate you for sitting on that lofty Chair. I wish to give a Statement on the Kenya Medical Training Colleges in the country. The information sought was: (1) List of the KMTC campuses in the country and the respective counties where they are located. (2) Explanation as to why there is no KMTC campus in Kirinyaga County and an indication as to when the Government intends to establish one. I wish to respond as follows: (1) The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) is a national institution in the Ministry of Health, enacted under CAP 261 of 1990 of the Laws of Kenya. The college has 65 campuses spread across 42 of the 47 counties in Kenya. The counties without a campus are Marsabit, Narok, Mandera, Kirinyaga and Samburu. A list of KMTC campuses in the country is attached and the respective counties where they are located. (2) Among the counties without a KMTC campus is Kirinyaga County. According to the KMTC Strategic Plan 2012/2017, the college intends to establish campuses in all the counties. This is intended to be achieved before the end of the strategic plan period. To achieve the goal, the board of management has scheduled to visit the County Government of Kirinyaga on 11th and 12th April, 2017, to hold a discussion with the Governor’s office on the modalities of achieving the same and subsequently organize to visit all other counties without a KMTC campus. Looking through the list of counties and the names of the campuses, there are some counties that have up to three KMTC campuses. As has been pointed out, Kirinyaga County does not have one. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
