    "content": "financial year, resulting in a shortfall of Kshs19,692,000,000. This is a major shortfall. Of the total budgetary allocation, Kshs25.6 billion will be utilized to cover current expenditure, while Kshs6.9 billion will go towards development expenditure. Under the Recurrent Vote, the Treasury has included for the first time, cost-sharing user fees from Kenyatta National Hospital, Kshs1.9 billion; Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital – Kshs831 million; Kenya Medical Training College – Kshs1.069 million. It is, therefore, noted that the actual amount from the Treasury is only Kshs21.86 million. The allocated funds are not adequate to address the many challenges facing my Ministry. However, the available resources will be used efficiently for the intended purposes as follows. Personnel emoluments – Kshs11.341 million, and that falls far short of what we need to have adequate personnel for our Ministry. My Ministry delivers healthcare services. In order for us to deliver health services effectively, we require additional 20,000 nurses, 2,500 doctors, 3,800 clinical officers, 2,400 medical laboratory technologists, 2,500 medical records officers, 1,200 plaster technicians and 300 radiographers. To respond to the human resources challenges, my Ministry intends to progressively recruit 750 health workers annually for the next two financial years. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move, and ask Ms. Mbarire to second."
