    "content": "We agreed to amend Clause 67 in sub clause (1) by deleting the words “where the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority is the primary provider” appearing immediately after the word “upon” to read “the procurement for the public health services of health products and technologies shall be undertaken in line with the Public Procurement and Disposal Act as well as the intergovernmental arrangement for medicine and medical products agreed upon”. Two, in Sub-Clause 3(a), deleting the word “national” appearing after the word “county” to read as follows: “The Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) may be the point of first call for procurement of health products at the county referral level and it shall endeavour to establish branches within each county at such locations as it may determine.” The justification for the first amendment is that the Government policy is to separate the regulation of profession and product. The second amendment is proposed to remove the mandatory requirement placed on procuring entities to procure from KEMSA and allows room to procure from other providers of health products when the commodities may not be available at KEMSA."
