    "content": "The Budget and Appropriations Committee conducts public participation. They conducted it in Nairobi last year prior to the Budget. I was in the room when the Chair was conducting private public participation. This hospital was mentioned and he assured us that he would put it into the Budget, but he did not. We have him on record saying that the money was put in the Budget. Last time, he said that he had put the money in the Budget, but it was not there. This is not just about the hospital in Nairobi, but we are asking why you are allocating money to UHC when we do not have the pilot report. Why are you allocating money to the referral hospitals and Level 5 hospitals when we do not have the right structure in place? I told the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee in the last Budget that we needed Kshs1billion for reparation. He said that we could not put Kshs1 billion for reparation because we did not have policy and structures in place. He said that he would allocate Kshs100million to the Attorney-General to work on the policy and structures. Today, he is now trying to allocate Kshs4.3 billion when he knows very well that there are still issues between the National Assembly and the Senate that need to be defined. He needs to be sincere."
