    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. I think Sen. Omogeni has said it all. This is not a Bill only just sponsored by Sen. (Dr.) Zani and other stakeholders. It is a Bill that finally has had input from public participation. It is one of the Bills that had the highest number of organizations and individuals coming during public participation. The input to this Bill on the Floor of this House was very critical and important. The diversity of balancing, reality and how to move forward was of great consideration. Sen. Omogeni will remember this. This is because we are trying to come up with a scheme that will be effective within the various counties. Without that, we would not have gotten here. The Committee has put in a lot of input in this Bill through public participation and various discussions. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think we have a version of the Bill now that we feel represents what we hope we can see within the counties that will change things. It is Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri who very eloquently said that the cost of healthcare is actually halved because of community health services. If you can address measles, tuberculosis, and any problem at the lowest level, even as it begins when people in the community and its children, then it is much easier. You do not even have to go to level five and six, besides most of the issues have been addressed. I think Members have also mentioned that especially during the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, strengthening of such structures would have been key. Certain countries were mentioned worldwide at this moment in terms of the input they have made. Germany and Sweden were some of them that have been used this model."
