    "content": "raise concerns whenever there is such an issue that touches on the health of our people. It is true that many of our counties are procuring medicine and equipment that do not meet the standards of medication that our people need. Therefore, I want to urge the Committee to not only look at the issue of the petitioners from West Pokot, but also all the counties so as to make sure that facilities procured for our health centres meet the standards required. Those facilities should not only meet the standards, but also be used by trained personnel. We need to know if the personnel who are being employed in our counties are able to attend to the common mwananchi in our counties. We need to have experienced personnel in our counties. We also need to see people being employed on merit and not tribal lines or ethnic backgrounds for our people to get good services. We recently experienced a scenario at the Kenyatta National Hospital where a patient was operated on without proper identity or diagnosis. We need to look into this matter.This Petition is important because it will not only help that county, but all counties because health is a very important aspect in our people’s lives. We need to know the medicine that our people are getting from the hospitals. Some of them are saying that if they go to a health clinic today, they will be given a note asking them to buy medicine from different chemists in town. We need to know the quantity and quality of medicine that is there and the facilities that are being procured. Thank you for giving me chance to contribute on this."
