    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a serious national matter and instead of this House going around in cycles due to the sensitivity of the issue and health being the sustenance of life, we must address it. We are truly seeing many challenges in this county not just in Isiolo. The other time, we had the issue of nurses going on strike. Now we are being told about this equipment. I challenge anybody here, and I said it another day, let us one day fly to some dispensary in Kwale, Siaya, Nyeri or Wajir and we will see a very deplorable situation. Therefore, within the powers vested in your Chair and this House, let us look for a way to bring some solution to these matters. It is not pleasing for us to be talking something as serious as health day in, day out, and nothing happens. You also have to order the Serjeant-at-Arms to give some assistance to the House. It does not augur very well. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am on record for having said that we should relook at whether health should be a function of county governments or the national Government. In saying that, it has nothing to do with devolution. Devolution has nothing to do with counties. I am saying this because of the seriousness of this smatter."
