    "content": "We give money to KNH. How much? I sit in the Budget and Appropriations Committee. It is only Kshs1 billion. How much money have we given the Ministry of Health headquarters? We have given it several billions. For what? The Ministry of Health manages only two facilities – KNH and MTRH. However, we allocate them billions of shillings. That is why people are fighting and that is why Afya House is now called “Mafia House”. People fight for money. Those resources can be transferred and used to support other health facilities in this country. Lastly, we have approved money for medical equipment systems. Last year, this House supported over 90 hospitals. How much did we give KNH and MTRH? What type of equipment is there? We have equipment in our facilities that are lying idle. We talk about MRI machines in Thika, Kakamega and Nakuru, but not in KNH. When a patient requires MRI services, the only thing they are given is a note reading: “Refer to KNH.” It is time we prosecuted this matter with a lot of wisdom for the sake of this country. But if we continue like this, we will talk about it and leave it there and problems at KNH will still continue. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
