    "content": "Kenya is very diverse. Lamu County is not the same as Nakuru County. However, the equipment is supposed to be the same. We are required to have two well equipped hospitals in every county. Personally, I went to Mandera and Elwak hospitals. They do not have the equipment. Even some which are there, are not connected. In fact, I do not know what they are for. The infrastructure in the counties is also not similar. There is a serious problem with the way this equipment is managed and paid for. I am happy that the Senators asked for that question. We must engage the Ministry of Health to tell us what is involved in this equipment. Going forward, we need also to know how much is left for counties to pay. I do not think it is the Public Private Partnership (PPP) issue. First of all, we have not leased the equipment. We have bought them and paid for them. Unless umechukua deni kidogo. It is a serious matter; we need to be given the answers. Going forward in the next Budget, when it comes, we, in the Committee of Finance and Budget, might refuse to put that money in the budget. If we do not get any proper explanation between now and then, then there is no reason for that money to be deducted from the counties as is being done now. I support the request for the Statement."
