    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for saving me from the Hon. Member. My point is that we also need to look at those board members. In KNH, the biggest stakeholder is the patient and anyone can be a patient there. I think we should stop placing the older generation in those boards because we purport they have experience. We should consider the young people of this country who will always have time to respond to such summons. If they cannot get time to respond to the summons of the august House, how do they carry out the affairs of KNH? That is why, even when the CS called the Chairman of the Board, he was not aware of any issue at KNH. We need to consider putting the young competent Kenyans to those boards because they have the time, vitality, understanding and energy to represent Kenyans. With those many remarks, I want to add something about what I heard concerning 45 per cent of equipment we have at KNH being obsolete. As we sit here in the National Assembly, we represent the national Government in our constituencies. We need to divert some of the funds we have been giving to our counties and downstream facilities to KNH. As Members have said, it is not proper for us to feed our neighbours children when our own are going hungry. Even as we give more money and resources to KNH, we need to systemically streamline its processes so that, even the monies paid by Kenyans to the tune of billions, is put to good use and especially ploughing back into modernising the same facilities to better the services offered to Kenyans. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Report by the Departmental Committee on Health."
