    "content": "Healthcare is key among the Big Four Agenda of the President. If it is so and we have to achieve it, all of us have a duty to support it. One way we can support it as a law-making House is to make sure that the laws we pass today agree with the laws counties have passed, so that we do not have the back and forth that we normally have. Most of our county hospitals refer patients to the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). When you go to our county hospitals, even before they do anything, they refer you to KNH. For that reason, there is congestion at the KNH. We cannot continue that way because we are hurting national hospitals which are meant to be a fall-back for what cannot be done by the county health facilities. We need to address that issue. One way of addressing it is by ensuring that the amendments which are going to be brought forth are passed. I have a number of them to propose. We need to give direction to the counties and create a harmonious way of providing healthcare services."
