"content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I want to thank the Committee for telling us that this Bill is good. Having gone through it, I must be convinced what is good about this Bill. I also want to thank the Senate for appearing to do something for the counties. Article 96 of the Constitution clearly sets out the roles of the Senate. Kenya is a unitary state. Some functions are best served in a centralized, organized, structural manner with a clear organizational structure. The responsibility and the buck must stop somewhere. If I start with the first Statute Law that the Senate intends to amend – the Cancer Prevention and Control Act - this is very important because currently, cancer is a major killer even in my constituency. Looking at what the Senate has recommended in terms of changes to this particular Act, it is as if it has just been picked. Literature is just “cut and paste” from 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."
