    "content": "funds to KNH. I have been in this Departmental Committee on Health for the last four years. The KNH has been requesting for more funding particularly to engage more nurses and doctors, to increase their number of equipment and also service the ones they have. But what do they get? They get underfunding. Every year they are underfunded. What needs to be done? First, let us address the issue of Nairobi County. Nairobi County should have a minimum of five good hospitals. When I say good hospitals it is not only the buildings. It is good hospitals which are fully equipped, fully staffed and do not have the question of shortage of medicines prevalent in every county. In fact, there is a shortage of drugs everywhere. Our referral system in this country needs to be overhauled. That area has failed. The third issue is funding. Fund KNH. Finally, on the question of the doctors, the nurses and the CEO, I urge this House to not victimise these people. They have really been working very hard. Please, can we have Lily Koros return to her job? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
