    "content": "to coordinate the procurement of those drugs. The national Government needs to procure, because it is an issue which cannot be handled by the counties. In that case, I would like KEMSA to be the coordinating agency in terms of procurement or sourcing these drugs from donors like the World Health Organisation (WHO) and The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) so that we can have timely distribution whenever there is an outbreak of that disease. That way, there will be a quick response, because it is done from one point. Unlike now, when it occurs, counties have to look around for counties which could be stocking those drugs. However, if it is coordinated through an organisation like KEMSA, it will be timely; it will save our people and we will not have the kind of deaths that we have had. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have also been having problems with the supply of other drugs, like the vector control drugs. We have been running up and down, but I thank the county government and the governor for securing stocks of that drug, which we launched on Sunday. We sprayed the whole area and settlements so that we can control the spread of the disease. Therefore, I support and hope that the Mover will take into account the amendments that have been proposed by Sen. Were."
