    "content": "been well articulated. Tomorrow, we will promulgate the new Constitution. When that is done, Kenyans will expect a lot from us. They will expect, especially from this Ministry, an expanded service. Because of lack of proper road networks, they will expect maternities and well stocked pharmacies within their reach. They will also expect improved services. We also have the Vision 2030 and we are saying that we want to fulfill a lot of things, but there is no agenda that can be fulfilled by a non-healthy society. So, there is need for us to re-look at our priorities. I join my colleagues who have said that the Budget for this Ministry should have been prioritized from the word go. We have problems because we do not obey our Budget process. Our Budget process requires that in March, the Minister for Finance comes forward with a policy statement that shows us the priorities of this country. I used to sit in the Committee on Budget and we expected the Minister for Finance to come out with priorities. We were expecting this Ministry to be prioritized, especially in areas that will bring improvement in our health sector. But until we obey our Standing Orders, we will put ourselves in problems. Finally, there are internal checks that are required in this Ministry in its various sectors right from procurement to supervision of development projects. I want also to refer to the African Development Bank (ADB) funded projects, where I benefit. However, there is need for closer supervision from the Ministry. With those remarks, I beg to support."
