"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is a principle of the Constitution. When you read the Fourth Schedule, County Health Services are devolved. I want to ask the Senate Majority Leader to read the Constitution of Kenya 2010 closely together with Article 10 and Part II of the Fourth Schedule. What I was saying is that they should provide leadership because the National Assembly has scarcity of leadership. That was what I was requesting. Was it too much to ask, Sen. Sifuna? In fact, Sen. Sifuna, you should call Hon. Atandi to order because he is your member of ODM and tell him to allocate money. That is what I was requesting. I did not request a lot. I had a discussion about UHC with the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Health, Sen. Mandago. I want to appeal to the Senate Majority Leader; he has ears and eyes for who is who in this country. Whisper, so that this issue of UHC can be resolved once and for all. Is it too much to ask on behalf of UHC? It is not too much? That is what I am only requesting. On this issue of salaries and therefore leadership of this House, including yourself, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let us come out and provide leadership. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you can see the Senate Majority Leader is whispering “a nurse” “a nurse”. The person who knows the nurse is Sen. Sifuna. He said in public that he has “a nurse” by name.

"content": "I do not want to mention the name, was it Cindy or somebody? He said it on record in Migori, in the presence of Sen. Eddy. I do not know, maybe you will ask him why. In fact, that is why Sen. Sifuna is my greatest supporter today because when you talk about anything around health, he remembers one nurse that changed his life. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the issue of salaries that will come to Nandi is Kshs176 million plus. This will go to the Community Health Promoters (CHPs). It will go to the industrial park and the health sector. I expect us to get value for this money. I agree with Majority Leader here. I said, service is not about brick and mortar. Hospitals in Nandi are coming down. If you want to visit the dirtiest hospital in Kenya, just go to Kapsabet County Referral Hospital, presided over by Governor Sang maladministration. I have several times challenged the Chairperson of the Committee on Health to come to Nandi. Kapsangere is stalled. Kobujoi Health Centre is stalled yet, it has consumed Kshs100 million. I know the governor is your friend. God forbid if he gets an emergency medical condition. I hope that doctors, nurses and healthcare practitioners in Nandi will get value. Finally, on the issue of the World Bank and Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA), Nandi is going to get over Kshs480 million, almost close to 1 billion. We need to see value for this money. I have seen my project in Mosoriot Township has stalled, yet this money has been released, Kshs485 million. The footpaths constructed by the County Government of Nandi, by Governor Sang, cannot even be used by two dogs because it is too narrow. Two people cannot even pass each other. We must be told what the value is and Kshs480 million loan from the World Bank. It is not a gift or sadaka . It is money meant to transform the lives of the people of Nandi. I call upon the Committee on Finance and Budget--- Let us sit on royalties and court fines. With those many remarks, I beg to support and let us vote."

"content": "I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make a comment on this. There are some clarifications that I would like to make here that are very important. We share revenue in two forms. Number one is the revenue that we share from equitable shares required under Article 202. Where there is money we share between the national and county governments. That informed our Division of Revenue Bill, which we discussed last time. Secondly, we fight here for additional allocation to counties. Regarding additional allocation to counties, there are four areas where this money comes from. One has been contentious. I will go back to it because my Chairperson has been implicated in this. I need to explain to the House why it was important for the Chairperson perhaps not to put it on his talking notes. The counties must note that as a House, we fought for this and ensured that out of what the national Government gives us as share under Article 202, they can put additional money to counties. In total, we are sending to counties Kshs8.4 billion out of the additional shares from the national Government. Apart from that, we then have additional allocation from unconditional allocation from court fines. That would mean monies that come as a result of offenses that people have violated of respective county The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

"content": "laws. On that, we are scheduling today Kshs116 million that is supposed to go to the counties. Lastly, there are those additional allocations that come from loans as well as grants from other development partners as a country. In this Third Schedule, we are sending Kshs37 billion. It is important that I report to the people of Migori that apart from our equitable share that we sent to Migori that had now passed Kshs8.6 billion on the national Government share, we are scheduling that Migori gets Kshs186 million that is meant for the County Aggregated Industrial Parks (CAIPs), which have commenced and are taking root in Migori. The status is still wanting. The Governor must take note and ensure that this Kshs186 million we are sending does the rightful job. The second thing we are sending to Migori here is money for the CHPs who used to be community health volunteers, sometimes past. Of course, they were incorporated. These CHPs are a key component of our healthcare system in Migori County, and we are giving an additional Kshs88.4 million in this Schedule. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, lastly, on that national Government share, we are sending an additional allocation for doctors' salary arrears that are in Migori, Kshs 27.7 million. In that category alone, we are adding a whopping Kshs302 million to Migori County. I think this is commendable. As it has been seen and it affects Migori and other counties, I wish the National Assembly, in passing this schedule, would have added under the national Government share, a portion for the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) workers. This is the portion that they should have added, so that we can deal with this issue of moving the entire payroll of UHC workers from national payroll and then putting them on county payroll, yet there is no money to follow that. I think it is going to be problematic that we might face a situation where we will have a total collapse of primary health care. This is because if that payroll is transferred to counties and there is no allocation under this additional allocation bracket, those workers will go to counties and then they will not work because there is no money. Before we realize, they will drop out and all hospitals as well as all other health care facilities will not function. This is a responsibility of the National Assembly to allocate money under this docket that will have gone to the UHC workers. Senators have said so here. Sen. Cheruiyot and Sen. Sifuna have talked about it very passionately. We will still fight for that and make sure that the national Government share must be able to take care of this. Migori County seems not to have so many offenders to the county laws because, checking on this, we are scheduling under court fines as additional allocation, just about Kshs974,000. We are further scheduling to Migori County an additional Kshs371 million under loans and grants that includes money from Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLoCA), DANIDA and the World Bank. In all this total basket, we are adding Migori County an additional Kshs674.8 million. This is money that if put to good use, should be able to transform the life of the people of Migori County. I urge the leadership of Migori County, that after doing all this work here, we must make sure that these The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
