    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I rise under Standing Order No. 83 to raise a point of order on a very fundamental constitutional question touching on the Health Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2021. I ask you to indulge me because it is in Order No. 13. I am not imputing any bad motive on the Deputy Speaker and the Speaker’s Panel, but by the time we reach there, you will not be in the Chair because of Order No. 11. Allow me to raise this matter so that as our substantive Speaker, you can guide the House. From the outset, this Bill intends to amend a total of 17 Acts of Parliament in the health sector including the Pharmacy and Poisons Act, the Mental Health Act, the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Act, the Nurses Act and the Kenya Medical Training College Act among others. Those amendments seek to align the appointments of various boards under the several Acts with the Mwongozo Guidelines. I have read the Report of the Departmental Committee on Health and gone through their deliberations when they met stakeholders. I had to get a copy of the Hansard . I went through it the whole of Monday until late in the evening. I was lucky because Facebook and WhatsApp were suspended last night and were not working, so I had a lot of time to read. The fundamental issue that I want to raise is that this Bill was committed to the Departmental Committee on Health for public participation in terms of Article 118 of the 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."
