"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Senate had proposed to delete sub-section 5(B) which was inserted under Section 23. The original effect of that provision was to empower the Transition Authority to determine which component of a function is to be transferred to county government so as to allow gradual transfer of functions as opposed to rapid transfer. For instance - I am just qualifying it - in the health sector, the Bill was recommending a phased process of devolving health facilities particularly the Level 5 hospitals. In this case, I want to disagree with the Senate proposal to delete the clause under the pretext that the National Assembly was usurping the powers of the Senate to determine whether a function can be transferred and whether there is enough capacity.
