    "content": "The recurrent expenditure of the hospital facility was too high compared to the allocation given per month by the county government to run the hospital. The facility required approximately Kshs26 million per month to run its activities, yet they only received Kshs.10 million per month. The monthly cash collections were approximately Kshs14million and cash received on NHIF patients was 150 per cent of the cash collected. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also established that it was very expensive to maintain the Cuban doctors. First, they do not understand English or Kiswahili, let alone Luhya. There are certain diseases in Luhya, which cannot be translated to English. These include diseases such as Indulume, Indwasi, Amakakha. We do not have an English translation of such diseases. Those Cuban doctors are unable to treat my people in Kakamega because of the language barrier."
