    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to support your Communication. From the onset, I wish you and my colleagues a Happy New Year. As I support your Communication, I remind this House about the issue of nurses. We are aware that nurses all over our counties have been on strike although they have not done so in my county. Therefore, we need to harmonize their salaries. Why are nurses who graduated from the same schools and have the same qualifications being paid differently in different counties? The Committee on Health needs to harmonize the nurses’ salaries in all counties. They also need to mediate in a discussion between the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), county governments and the Ministry of Health so that our nurses can go back to work and deliver services to our people. We also have an issue with resources that go to our counties. We need to look at them versus development. During the recess, there was a report indicating that many of our counties were spending a lot of money on recurrent expenditure rather than development. We need to look at how we can spend more money on development rather than spending it on salaries and travel allowances, among other expenditure items."
