    "content": "Committee of this House chaired by the Deputy Majority Leader. The Report by the Ad hoc Committee investigating the Managed Equipment Services (MES) has been delayed by the pandemic because they have been unable to meet the stakeholders to complete the process. We have received important information that was publicized in the local dailies about the progress of the leased equipment. The leased equipment will take up Kshs5.6 billion. The Level 5 hospitals continue to receive funding to a tune of Kshs4.3 billion. The Members of this House, who are serving a second term, will remember how a few worked so hard to ensure that the Level 5 hospitals receive grants from the national Government, because the counties where those hospitals are located were struggling with the management of the Level 5 hospitals. I am glad that one of the people who brought these amendments is the current Cabinet Secretary for Health. That shows that if we do the right thing, history will be very kind to us. Mr. Speaker, Sir, a little amount of money has been set aside for the construction of county headquarters for a few counties. The rehabilitation of youth polytechnics has been allocated a grant of Kshs2 billion. There is an allocation from the levy fund of 15 per cent, which translates to Kshs9.4 billion. These are the resources that we pushed for, as a Senate, to be transferred to the counties. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
