Hon. Deputy Speaker, the other issue was whether faith-based organisations are non-profit making organisations. The cost of healthcare in many mission hospitals is between what the Government charges and what private entities charge. They are subsidised by being given staff, medicines, ambulances and, at times, even by being bailed out by the Government, so that they offer services at a reduced cost.

On the issue why they are not able to release a patient without the patient clearing all the money, I think that is an administrative issue. It has nothing to do with a Government policy. As we have said, the Ministry of Health is working on a policy on how we can partner with faith-based organisations. So, once the policy comes here and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

In as far as the issue of personnel is concerned; I think that is a challenge. What we need to realise is that health has been devolved. Healthcare is now under the county governments. So, it is the responsibility of the County Government of Nyeri to employ staff that they need for the operationalisation of CT scans, x-rays, ultra-sounds and so on. It is also their responsibility to make sure that wananchi access services which are not available.

The National Government is also in the process of leasing equipment to 94 hospitals within the country. This is at the procurement stage and it is a matter of time before the rest of the hospitals are able to access equipment; although there are challenges in terms of whether equipment should be capital operationalised or capital leased, operationalisation leasing and other challenges.

On why there are selective services in other places as asked by hon. Letimalo, the Government gives them the services that they have requested.

Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I stand to support this amendment by the Committee. When hon. Mbadi talked, I thought he was a very good accountant, but this is a retirement benefits issue and you want the majority shares to be owned 50 to 51 per cent by outsiders. This will mean that it will be Kenyans who will be saving; at the end of the day, the outsiders may run away with our money. What shall we do to support local Kenyans?
