    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, there are many issues in health and our Committee on Health needs to be more proactive than it is. In some of those counties, there is no medication and some of the equipment still lies idle without being used. Most counties are not also following the CBAs that were negotiated between the national Government and county governments. Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not know how we have been talking about the issue of funds following functions in this House, and yet we have never been able to implement it. We still have a lot of money at the centre. There has to be a mechanism for this House to ensure that funds follow functions. If we do not address the issue around health conclusively, Kenyans might get so tired of a lot issues around health that they might want the national Government to take back the health function. Madam Temporary Speaker, since the role of this House is to protect counties, we need to rise to the occasion and be counted. We need to act on issues around health promptly. Thank you."
