    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Khaniri for this Statement, which I support. I join my colleagues in urging that we need to go a step further and have the Committee interrogate this issue. We know very well that health is an important right for all Kenyans. We also have two levels of government which are supposed to be cooperating, but the national Government seems to be making decisions for the county governments without consulting them. As the Senate, which is supposed to protect county governments, we need to come in and ensure that county governments are consulted. For example, when we bring equipment, it needs to be put somewhere and have other support equipment and necessary staff. However, if we just dump equipment in counties, they will not be useful and yet, we will be paying for them. When we bring doctors, they need other medics to support them. However, when we create discrepancy in terms of remuneration and all that, then we are not assisting the public. We will be creating confusion within the sector and services will not be delivered. So, we need to take this Statement to a higher level and do further interrogation. Thank you."
