    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you go out there and look at mission hospitals, which are operated without tax-payers money, some of them having operated for so many years, they are doing service and rendering medical care to a scale that one can appreciate, particularly because they are not funded by the public finance. Some of these hospitals such as Maseno Mission Hospital, Chogoria Hospital and Kikuyu Hospital which has got an Eye Unit; have been organized in such a way that they have been able to offer healthcare to people at the local level. They have been able to reach those heights through training medical personnel from lower cadres. A hospital like the Kikuyu Mission Hospital - which I am very familiar with having studied at Alliance High School in Kikuyu - were training experts at the time when I was a student in that area. Mr. Speaker, Sir, county governments are not doing a good job in terms of training personnel. There is so much dependence on what they found on the ground when the system of government of devolution was brought in after the year 2010 after the promulgation of the new Constitution. Therefore, this Motion is a call to action. I commend Sen. Nyamunga for bringing in this Motion because it is one of those Motions that do not speak to events of the future; it speaks of things that must be done and must be done now."
