    "content": "The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) had modern working machines, hence, the county did not have to refer patients to the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital for Intensive Care Unit (ICU) services as it was the case in the past. Mr. Speaker Sir, there were several other remarkable improved hospital structures and infrastructure; modern parking lot, well constructed gate, roofed pathways connecting administration blocks, different offices and the wards, as well as a neat and current beautification of the entire hospital premises. The entire hospital was generally clean, both outside and inside, including the wards, hence, enhancing the hygiene standards of the hospital. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to take this opportunity to applaud the hospital management for having considered locals for job opportunities in the hospital, especially cleaning and security services.This goes in tandem with the true spirit of devolution as envisaged in Article 174 of the Constitution of Kenya. However, there were certain areas that needed improvement. First, there was a glaring deficit between the number of personnel needed to run the facility and those available at the time to offer the said medical healthcare. I also established that the hospital was in dire need of drugs and other non-pharmaceutical items, all attributed to inadequate monthly allocations received from the county government."
