institutions which include, Kenyatta National Hospital, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Mathari Mental Hospital and Spinal Injury Hospital. The rest include dispensaries, sub-county hospitals and county referral hospitals. They number thousands. They serve 95 per cent of Kenyans. We are allocating very little resources to those ones, leaving about Kshs70 billion at the national level to take care of only four institutions. This is quite unfair.

There is another issue of county headquarters. There is an allocation of Kshs485 million. I am certain that this is a very discriminatory allocation.

I wish the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee can come with some amendments so that we can have Bomet County benefit from these allocations so that its county headquarters can be built.
