Abstract


A number of Kenya government legislatives on environment are filled with pieces of legislation that are aimed at guiding resource allocation processes between the authorities and the primary stakeholders. However, observations suggest that communication and resource allocation remains a big challenge in most counties and the country at large. The purpose of this study was to analyse the influence of resource allocation on service delivery with a specific reference to Machakos Level 5 Hospital. The study will be of benefit to; the private sector, the public sector, and the health professions in that the when frameworks are available, they will know about where to go to take an interest, and how to partake. They will likewise know the way toward settling on choice. The study was carried out at Machakos Level 5 hospital. The study was based on change theory. The research applied the descriptive research design. The target population included health professionals, church leaders, community-based organisations, civil society and business community leaders. The total number of this group is estimated to be 800. The study used a sample size of 160 respondents calculated using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) formula.
