    "content": "All these and many more others have succumbed to COVID-19 related complications and if the situation is not averted, more lives are going to be lost. We cannot wait to lose more lives. Action must be taken now. We must, therefore, intensify adherence to the COVID-19 protocol restrictions and force the social distance rules, revive the hand washing points and ensure all learners in schools wear masks and ban school visits completely. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, we all know that health is a devolved function and a very integral area to our citizens wellbeing. However, from the prevailing circumstances in Kakamega County, it has become obvious that the county executive has completely failed to perform the function as required and as enshrined in the Fourth Schedule of our Constitution. As the representative of Kakamega County residents in the Senate, I call upon the national Government to invoke the provision of Article 187 of the Constitution of Kenya and take over the management of health functions in Kakamega County to save the lives of the residents of my county. I rest my case. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
