    "content": "On a point of information, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am glad that Sen. Olekina has brought out a very interesting aspect. Article 187 of the Constitution which talks about the transfer of functions, states that: “The constitutional responsibility for a function that is transferred remains with the entity of the level of government that has transferred it.” What that means is that even in this inquiry it is the Nairobi City County Government that should appear and they can come with the NMS an implementing agent, but not the NMS on their own. So, I hope the Health Committee takes note of that, that you invite the Nairobi City County Government and the NMS but the person who takes the constitutional responsibility remains the Nairobi City County Government as it exists. Unfortunately, I do not know if we have a governor who is active. The county government is an entity. It exists in perpetuity. However, they come together with the implementing--- In the same way if you asked a question on water, you would ask the Nairobi City County Government to come and they can come, for instance, with the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Services. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
