"content": "Drugs should be procured according to the requirements. You do not have to force health facilities to have medicine or any equipment they do not require. There should be consultation to understand the needs of a particular county before forcing them to procure equipment and drugs. KEMSA might have been facilitating the country as a whole when it comes to procurement of drugs, but our county governments are still struggling with how to come up with structured ways of dealing with matters of health. That is why there are many strikes in the counties. As much as we want the KEMSA to ensure that health care services are enhanced, let the county governments also take responsibility and be ready to assist their citizens, because representation and inclusion should be of value to the people, especially those who receive the services. Procurement should not be done to enrich a few people in the county governments. When people hear about procurement in our country, they always think about fattening their pockets. County governments need to understand that in as much as we are pushing for this, they should not procure what is not necessary for the people."
