    "content": "institutions which include, Kenyatta National Hospital, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Mathari Mental Hospital and Spinal Injury Hospital. The rest include dispensaries, sub-county hospitals and county referral hospitals. They number thousands. They serve 95 per cent of Kenyans. We are allocating very little resources to those ones, leaving about Kshs70 billion at the national level to take care of only four institutions. This is quite unfair. That is why we have cases of importing mobile clinics at a cost of Kshs5 billion. It was queried by the Auditor- General. That is because there is a lot of idle money at the national Government which should have been devolved to the county governments to serve the people there. This is quite unfair. We need to have a national referral hospital in each county, so that the Kshs70 billion which remains with the Ministry of Health can be used to serve our people. Otherwise, the money that remains at the national Government level is only meant for cartels. The little money which goes to the counties is being used to serve the people. That is why, sometimes, there is shortage of medicines in our dispensaries and health centers. We are letting a lot of money to remain at Afya House and very little funds go to the county level. That needs to be enhanced to take care of our people at the lower level."
