    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be through in a minute. The Committee is also considering a Petition concerning individuals with autoimmune connective tissue disorders. During the period under review, the Committee participated in the Health Summit held on 14th and 15th of August, 2019, which was organized by the Ministry of Health. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, during the period under review, the Committee held meetings with the BIBA International to deliberate on a process of making the public aware on the issues concerning the environment, food safety, health and biodiversity. The Committee also held a meeting with Blood Link Foundation regarding proposed legislation of the Kenya National Blood Transfusion Service and its necessity, owing to the withdrawal of funding to the fund operations by the National Blood Transfusion Service. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to summarize, the Committee intends to carry out the following activities during the next quarter: (a) hold meetings to address the operations of Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA), which will also look into why various counties are not paying the dues to KEMSA; (b) hold meetings with the Ministry of Health to deliberate and chart a way forward on the budgetary allocation that is retained within the Ministry yet health is a devolved function; and, (c) hold meetings with the Council of Governors, Ministry of Labour and other stakeholders with a view of addressing the welfare of health workers in the counties. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
