    "content": "With regard to access to medical services, Kenyans are spending a lot of their money going to private hospitals in the country and also India. Our public institutions are decaying. For how long is this going to happen? I grew up career-wise in the insurance sector. Particularly, I know more about insurance and health requirements. We are talking about safety. Hospitals are supposed to be the safest places, if not the police stations. But when we hear that kids are disappearing and rape is taking place, it begs the question: Are we following the standards? The issue is staff morale and communication. Who is supposed to coordinate the staff? Who is supposed to come up with incentives for the staff? Who is supposed to look for money to ensure that the supposed services are given? The Board has that mandate. We heard that the Hospital, with all those problems, collect Kshs4.1 billion. If they are collecting Kshs4.1 with all those problems, it means there are a lot of things that are happening there. They could be collecting Kshs10 billion. So, the issue of money does not come in. I believe that the little money they have should be properly managed because the Government is not in the business of dishing out money. On the issue of prudent management of the little resources they are given, I could say that the management has failed. I will not comment on the professionals. I respect doctors. I have my brothers, nephew, and a niece who are medical doctors. I appreciate what they have done. They are being let down by the management."
